UT Permian Basin men’s basketball coach Josh Newman announced Thursday that assistant coach Zane Gibson has been promoted to Associate Head Coach for the 2019-20 season.
“Zane has done a tremendous job in every aspect of our program. He is one of the best assistants I have ever had and we are very fortunate to have him on staff,” said Newman. ” His attention to detail, understanding of our culture and philosophy, organization and relentlessness on the recruiting trail will continue to allow us to be successful in every phase of our program.”
Gibson has been recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches as one of the top 30 assistants under 30, and by Coachstat.net as one of the top-25 assistant coaches in Division II.
He has recruited eight all-conference players in his career, including last season’s Lone Star Conference Newcomer of the Year Jadob Ledoux.
