Chris Beard and Ole Miss are closing in on an agreement to make him the next men's basketball head coach, sources told jeffborzello and PeteThamel. Beard was fired by Texas in January following an arrest on Dec. 12. More:
Trew then released a statement on Dec. 23 in which she denied telling police that Beard choked her and said she"initiated a physical struggle" with Beard. On Feb. 15, the charges were dropped after Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza reviewed the evidence and took into account Trew's wishes not to prosecute Beard."I am pleased with the announcement that the charges against me have been dismissed," Beard said in a statement at the time.
Beard had been linked to the Ole Miss job since the school fired Kermit Davis on Feb. 24. Davis went 74-79 over five seasons and failed to reach the NCAA tournament after landing there in his first season. Beard's coaching acumen is considered among the best in college basketball. He led Texas Tech to the national title game in 2019 and has led three different programs to the NCAA tournament since 2016.
