Danny Kaspar (http://www.spurstalk.com/coaches.aspx?rc=542) comes to Texas State after serving the last 13 seasons as head coach at Stephen F. Austin, where he guided the Lumberjacks to a 246-193 record that included five 20-win seasons in the last six years. He has an overall career record of 465-193 in his 21 seasons as a head coach.
In the end the relationships with all the high school coaches in Texas to the other AAU coaches and everyone in general was what we were really looking for,” said Athletics Director Larry Teis. “We talked to former players, mainly Jeff Foster who we relied on to help us look at some candidates. Jeff did a great job, and his number one pick was Danny Kaspar (http://www.spurstalk.com/coaches.aspx?rc=542). Gregg Popovich from the San Antonio Spurs is very high on Danny and his coaching abilities, which really helped. In the end, in the state of Texas, nobody has won more games in the last six years than Danny Kaspar (http://www.spurstalk.com/coaches.aspx?rc=542).
I'm very excited to be given this opportunity to coach the men's basketball program at Texas State,” said Kaspar. “It's got great potential and I've always thought of it as a place that can produce frequent championships for someone who is willing to work hard and put a lot of effort in the job.
He will be presented the NABC District 24 Coach of the Year on Friday at the NCAA Final Four and is a finalist for the Hugh Durham Award as the nation's top Mid-Major head coach.
