Overall, in his first six years at the helm of this UC Santa Barbara program, Pasternack recorded a 132-53 record for a winning percentage of .714, the best in school history. His 132 wins is the most in the first five years of any Gaucho head coach.

Pasternack got his start in college basketball as a four-year manager under Bob Knight at Indiana University, where he broke down film and assisted in scouting opponents. He graduated from IU in 1999 with a degree in marketing. He played four years of varsity basketball at Metairie Park Country Day School in New Orleans. He and his wife, Lindsay, have a son, Joe IV, and a daughter, Lilly.

"We are thrilled to announce Danny Sprinkle as Utah State's new men's basketball head coach," Bovee said. "Danny checked all the boxes we were looking for as he is driven, energetic and motivated. He is also an excellent coach and proven recruiter. His skill set aligns perfectly with our mission of developing outstanding student-athletes on and off the basketball court, competing for conference championships and advancing to postseason play."

Sprinkle comes to Utah State after spending the past four years as the head coach at Montana State, leading the Bobcats to an 81-43 (.653) record, including 49-23 (.681) in the Big Sky Conference. He led MSU to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2022 and 2023 as the Bobcats were the regular season Big Sky Champions in 2022 and won the Big Sky Tournament in both the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. It was just the fourth- and fifth-ever NCAA Tournament appearances in program history and first since 1996.

"I am extremely excited and humbled to be a part of Utah State basketball and the unbelievable tradition created by all the former players and coaches," Sprinkle said. "I want to thank President (Noelle) Cockett and Jerry Bovee for their belief in me. As for the Spectrum, it is one of the best home-court atmospheres in the country, and I can't wait to work with The HURD and get that place rocking."

Sprinkle was honored for his 2021-22 squad's achievements by being named the Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year. He also was named a Hugh Durham Award finalist, presented annually to the top Division I mid-major coach in college basketball. MSU also finished the season in the CollegeInsider.Com Men's Mid-Major Top 25 poll for the first time in 20 years.

Montana State's rise among its Big Sky peers was on display to end the 2020-21 season as the Bobcats returned to the Big Sky Conference tournament championship game for the first time in 12 years. Sprinkle became the first Montana State head coach to lead the program to the Big Sky Championship game during his opening two seasons at the helm. The Bobcats had three players selected to all-Big Sky Conference teams, which were the most for Montana State since 2006.

Sprinkle's tenure got off to a strong start as MSU completed its 2019-20 schedule with a 16-15 overall record, its first winning record in 10 years. The 16 wins tied for the most for the program since the 2001-02 season, which had been the last year MSU won a Big Sky regular season title. He was named a finalist for the 2020 Joe B. Hall Award, which is given annually to the nation's top first-year coach in Division I college basketball.

Born in Pullman, Washington, Sprinkle enjoyed an outstanding career at Helena HS, which included earning all-state honors twice in basketball, while also competing in football and track. He graduated from Montana State in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in health and human development.

Darrell Walker is in his fifth season as Little Rock's head basketball coach and is already causing programs across the country to take notice.

Walker brings to Little Rock extensive basketball experience at both the collegiate and professional level. His playing experience includes three years at the University of Arkansas and 10 seasons in the National Basketball Association, followed by a 20-year professional coaching career, including serving as head coach for two different NBA franchises.

He boasts the distinction of being the only active coach with head coaching experience at the NBA, WNBA, Division II and Division I levels.

In his second season at the helm of the Trojans, Walker guided Little Rock to one of the top turnarounds in the nation. After finishing the 2018-19 season with a 10-21 mark, and picked to finish 11th in the Sun Belt preseason poll, Walker guided Little Rock to the outright Sun Belt Conference regular season title with a 21-10 record, including going 15-5 in conference play. The turnaround garnered Walker Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors, becoming just the fourth Trojan head coach to earn that accolade.

Under Walker's guidance, Little Rock saw Ruot Monyyong named the Sun Belt's Defensive Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, as well as being named a Lefty Driesell Defensive All-American. Markquis Nowell was named a first team All-Sun Belt selection, earning All-District and All-Region honors before being named a Lou Henson All-American. It marked the first time in program history two Trojans earned All-America honors in the same season.

Little Rock set a new program record with five Sun Belt Player of the Week honors, including three from Nowell and two from Kamani Johnson, who finished the season a third team All-Sun Belt selection. Walker's Trojans were especially tough at home, finishing the 2019-20 season with a 13-2 mark at the Jack Stephens Center, tied for the second-most home victories since the facility opened in 2005.

In his first season as a Division I head coach (2018-19), Walker guided Little Rock to a 10-21 overall record as the Trojans dropped a handful of heartbreaking losses during the course of the season. The year was highlighted by Rayjon Tucker being named a second team All-Sun Belt selection as he currently represents Little Rock in the NBA, signing a multi-year deal with the Utah Jazz in December of 2019.

Prior to coming to Little Rock, Walker spent two seasons as the head coach at Clark Atlanta University, compiling an overall record of 45-18 and leading the Panthers to back-to-back NCAA Division II tournament appearances.

Walker also spent time as the head coach of the Rockford Lightning of the Continental Basketball Association and the Washington Mystics of the WNBA. He served as an assistant coach in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors (1995-96), New Orleans Hornets (2004-08), Detroit Pistons (2008-11) and New York Knicks (2012-14).

A native of Chicago, Walker played one season at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith before spending three seasons at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Under Hall of Fame head coach Eddie Sutton, Walker amassed 1,325 points, ranking 18th all-time on the Razorback scoring list, while ranking fourth in program steals (230) and sixth in free throws made (524).

"I'm thrilled and excited to be coming back to Austin and back to the Longhorn family," Beard said. "I can't express how excited I am for this opportunity and the journey that lies ahead. I want to thank President Hartzell and Athletics Director Chris Del Conte for their trust. It's time to get to work. Our top priority will be embracing our players as soon as we get to campus, and I look forward to starting this journey together towards our championship goals."

"It's been a whirlwind of a day," Beard added. "It's a difficult and emotional day in a lot of ways as I leave Texas Tech, a place where I'm very appreciative of not only my five years as a head coach but also my 10 years as an assistant. I owe so much to Texas Tech University. From the players and their families to the administration, students, alumni, season-ticket holders and the entire Red Raider Nation, we were able to build something incredibly special and unique. We took the program to new heights TOGETHER resulting in a Big 12 Championship, a berth on Monday night in the National Championship Game, an Elite Eight appearance and three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in school history. I am truly thankful for all the people of West Texas and their incredible support. Thank you, you have provided memories that will last a lifetime."

In 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Beard has compiled a 252-103 (.710) overall record and advanced to four NCAA Tournaments. In addition to his five seasons at Texas Tech, Beard has also led five other programs, serving as head coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (2015-16), Angelo State University (2013-15), McMurry University (2012-13), Seminole State College (2000-01) and Fort Scott Community College (1999-2000).

"When we had an opportunity to bring in a new men's basketball coach, we went for the best. And I am proud to say that is exactly who we got in Chris Beard," said Kevin Eltife, Chairman of the UT System Board of Regents. "He exudes energy and confidence and has a great plan to make our program one of the elite programs in the country. He also bleeds orange and loves this university. Welcome back and hook 'em, Coach Beard!"

In his first season as head coach at Texas Tech (2016-17), Beard led the Red Raiders to an 18-14 record including a 16-3 mark in home games. Texas Tech registered three wins against AP ranked opponents, defeating No. 4 Baylor (84-78), No. 7 West Virginia (77-76 ot) and No. 25 Kansas State (66-65). Evans (third team) and Zach Smith (honorable mention) claimed All-Big 12 honors. ff782bc1db
