Texas Tech plans to interview Darvin Ham for its vacant head coaching position.

Ham is currently an assistant for the Bucks.

Ham lead Texas Tech to the Sweet 16 in 1996. 

The University of Texas will hire Chris Beard of Texas Tech as their next head coach.

Beard's buyout to go to another Big 12 school dropped to $4 million on Thursday.

Beard has established himself as one of the best coaches in the country during his five seasons at Texas Tech, leading the Red Raiders to a national title game appearance in 2019 and an Elite Eight in 2018.

Beard went to Texas and started his coaching career as a student assistant under Tom Penders with the Longhorns.

Shaka Smart left the Longhorns to become head coach of Marquette in March.

Roy Williams has announced he is retiring as head coach of North Carolina.

Williams has been head coach of North Carolina for the past 18 seasons, winning the national championship in 2005, 2009 and 2017. Williams previously coached Kansas for 15 seasons.

Williams ranks third all-time among Division I coaches with 903 wins, and he was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.
