Veteran coach brings experience to TCU
Posted: April 24, 2012 at 1:15 pm
When a program undertakes an ambitious rebuilding regimen, it is necessary to have leadership well versed in taking programs to the next level.
The Horned Frogs mens basketball team is that program this season, and first-year assistant coach Rob Evans is that leadership.
Im very excited to be here at TCU, he said. This is a program on the rise.
Fort Worth is the latest stop on the coaching carrousel for Evans, who has spent the last 42 years of his life coaching basketball at the Division I level.
In that time span, he has rightfully earned a reputation as a program builder, someone who excels at taking struggling teams and aiding them in their rise to prominence.
He did it at Arizona State University, where he led the Sun Devils to postseason appearances in four of his eight seasons. He did it at Ole Miss before that, where the Rebels made it to the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years during his tenure after having made it only once before.
Before those head coaching stops, Evans spent time working as an assistant with TCUs future Big 12 Conference mates Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. From Stillwater, Okla., to Oxford, Miss., Evans has succeeded in taking his teams to the next level.
The secret to his style lies within his unwavering commitment to doing things the right way, all the time, he said. The 65-year-old from Hobbs, N.M., exudes an aura of calm that comes with living a consistent life.
We know we have to follow our plan, he said, adding the need for people [to] believe in the program.
Evans garners that belief by engaging in practices that are above ground, both on and off the court.
