UTSA, Men’s Basketball Coach Austin Claunch Part Ways After DWI Arrest
Assistant coach Nick Bowman will lead the Roadrunners after Claunch’s arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, which prompted a university suspension.
- On Friday, UTSA and men's basketball head coach Austin Claunch mutually agreed to part ways, athletic director Lisa Campos announced. "After thoughtful discussions about the future of the program, we mutually agreed that this was the right time for a transition," Campos said.
- The university suspended Claunch on Oct. 28 following his arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Police found him passed out in his parked Mercedes after responding to a 911 call in Corpus Christi.
- Claunch compiled a 17-44 record in two seasons at UTSA, including a 5-25 mark last season. Previously, the 36-year-old went 90-61 in five seasons as head coach at Nicholls State.
- Assistant coach Nick Bowman will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Bowman has led the team as acting coach since the suspension, guiding a 2-1 start.
- UTSA opened the season with two wins in its first three games, including an 86-59 victory over Seattle on Wednesday. The program now shifts focus to the remainder of the campaign under new leadership.
