We could be closing in on another Power Six program filling their head coaching vacancy.
Per Jeff Goodman of Stadium, current North Texas head coach Grant McCasland has emerged as the top target to replace Mark Adams.
McCasland has a history in Lubbock after serving as director of operations for head coach James Dickey from 1999 to 2001. He is familiar with coaching in the Lone Star state after starting his coaching career with Midwestern State at the Division II level.
He led them to two DII Elite Eight appearances in two seasons. McCasland was 55-12 in two seasons. After spending six seasons as an assistant under Scott Drew at Baylor he made a one-year stop at Arkansas State before taking over the North Texas men’s basketball program in 2017.
Overall, McCasland is 205-89 as a head coach, including his 130-65 mark in six seasons with the Mean Green. The former Baylor guard has produced five 20-plus win seasons at UNT. On Tuesday night, McCasland and the Mean Green are set to take on Oklahoma State in the NIT.
We will continue to monitor the coaching carousel as it relates to college basketball and the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
