The Roadrunners are ready for a new voice to lead the program back to prominence.
– When University of Texas at San Antonio athletic director Lisa Campos began her search for a head men’s basketball coach, she set out to find someone who could bring some new energy to the Roadrunners program.
It took some time to get Claunch to San Antonio. UTSA had to wait 52 days between the day Claunch was announced as the new head coach and his introductory press conference. During the wait, UTSA’s social media pages cheered him on as he finished out his role as an assistant at Alabama.“I wanna thank Lisa throughout this process for allowing me to finish what we started last year, but also just entrusting me with this opportunity,” Claunch said.
The first pillar is “Embrace the Moment,” taking in the good and the bad that will come with revamping a program. The second, “Be a Good Teammate,” is not only meant to shape the players’ character but to also entrust their ability to see problems that can be fixed.
