The Texas Tech Red Raiders made the longest NCAA Tournament runs in program history while he was in charge. On their journey to the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Game against the Virginia Cavaliers, the Red Raiders won a school-record 31 games in 2019. Chris Beard was named the AP National Coach of the Year for 2019.
He was appointed the University of Texas’ 25th head coach on April 1, 2021. He was taken into custody on December 12, 2022, and charged with violence on a family member by strangulation, a third-degree crime. Texas then placed him on leave without pay.
Chris Beard, the head coach of Texas’ men’s basketball team, was taken into custody on Monday (12th December 2022) on suspicion of felony domestic abuse. He was taken into custody by Austin, Texas, police and charged in the third degree with “assault of a family/household member, impede breath circulation,” or strangling, at 4:18 a.m. CDT. At 2:44 PM, he was freed from the Travis County jail after posting a cash bond. Bail had been set at $10,000 for Beard.
Soon after midnight on Monday, according to Austin police, officers were sent to the 1900 block of Vista Lane after receiving a “disturbance hotshot” report. A “hotshot” call is described as “incidents which are in progress constitute an imminent threat to life and/or public safety…. These calls are sent promptly” on the website of the Austin Police Department.
The Austin American-Statesman was informed by Perry Minton, Beard’s attorney, that Beard “is 100% innocent of these claims.” Minton told the newspaper that the arrest of the man was inappropriate. “The plaintiff demands his immediate release and the cancellation of all charges. It is simply incomprehensible.” Texas issued a statement saying: “The University is aware of Chris Beard’s predicament. We are still gathering data and keeping an eye on the legal procedure.”
