Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News is reporting that Frank Haith, 38, associate head basketball coach at the University of Texas for the past three seasons, will be named the new head coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes basketball program this week.
Haith has been a key recruiter for the strong Texas basketball program over the past several years. Although Texas is known more for its football team, the Texas basketball program has actually been better than the football program lately. The Horns have made it to three straight NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteens and reached the Final Four in the 2002-03 season. Haith also has also worked as an assistant coach at Wake Forest, Texas A&M, Penn State and UNC Wilmington.
