Chris Beard named finalist for 2022 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award
University of Texas Men’s Basketball head coach Chris Beard has been named one of 20 finalists for the 2022 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award. The award, which dates back to 2008, honors those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off the floor.
The 2022 award winner will be announced on Friday, April 1 in New Orleans, site of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship.
In his first year with the Longhorns, Beard guided Texas to a 22-12 overall record (10-8 Big 12 Conference, fourth place) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Second Round. The 22 wins marked the highest number of victories in a season since 2013-14, and Beard led Texas to its first NCAA Tournament win since 2014. The Longhorns ranked No. 25 in the final Associated Press poll.
