Goestenkors hires Gale Valley as first assistant coach. Valley was Goestenkors’ long-time assistant at Duke.

Great coverage of the Gail Goestenkors hire from TexasSports. Includes video from the press conference.

Lady Horns lose star Tiffany Jackson, but Conradt left Gail Goestenkors four starters.

Gail Goestenkors is reportedly leaving Duke for Texas. Very nice replacement for Conradt.

Kim Mulkey is high on Texas’ list to replace Jody Conradt, but rumors are she’s about to extend her contract with Baylor.

Texas women’s basketball coach and legend Jody Conradt retired Monday after 31 seasons at Texas. The women’s program has been down a little in recent years and this year the team finished with 18 wins and 14 losses and did not make the NCAA Tournament. Conradt is a Longhorn legend and gave her entire life to the Lady Longhorns and to the University of Texas.

No word of a possible replacement for Conradt but with the history of Texas women’s basketball and a top recruiting class last year, the job will be very attractive to some of the nation’s top coaches.

The game was pretty close in the end, but the Sooners just went cold and Texas pulled out the win.

Tiffany Jackson puts up 27 points as the Longhorn women whip the Aggies 64-45.
