 Rick Barnes AP Big 12 Coach of the Year
Up to the minute news about the Texas Longhorns from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest Texas Longhorns news so you can chat about here. Quote: Texas? Barnes is AP Big 12 coach of the year
Leavenworth Times, KS - 5 hours ago
The Longhorns lost all five starters from a 2005-06 squad that won a school-record 30 games and nearly made it to the Final Four. Three of them — last season’s Big 12 player of the year P.J. Tucker, LaMarcus Aldridge and Daniel Gibson — left school early for the NBA, leaving Barnes with little to no experience to put on the court.
On Tuesday, Barnes was named The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year for turning this young and sometimes wild lineup into a squad that came within one game of sharing the league title with Kansas.
It is the first time Barnes has won the honor since 1999, when he guided the Longhorns to the league crown in his first season at Texas.
