Men’s basketball coach Bucky McMillan added 36-year coaching veteran Frank Haith to his initial coaching staff at Texas A&M on Monday.
Haith, who has 18 years of experience as a Division I head coach, served two previous stints in Aggieland as an assistant coach for Tony Barone in 1992-95 and 1996-97. Haith comes to Texas A&M after two seasons at the University of Texas where he helped guide the Longhorns to 40 wins and to a pair of NCAA Tournament berths.
In his 18 seasons as a head coach, Haith posted a career record of 343-237 (.591). He served as head coach at Miami (Fla.) for seven seasons (2004-11), Missouri for three years (2011-14) and Tulsa for eight seasons (2014-22). Haith led all three programs to the NCAA Tournament and earned either conference or district Coach of the Year honors at each school. He guided 10 of those teams to postseason play, including four NCAA Tournament appearances.
Haith was named the National Coach of the Year by The Associated Press and United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) in 2012 while at Missouri. He also was a National Coach of the Year finalist in 2005 while at Miami.
A 1988 graduate of Elon University, Haith began his full-time coaching career as a graduate assistant on Dave Odom’s staff at Wake Forest in 1989-90, before serving as an assistant coach at UNC-Wilmington (1990-92), Texas A&M (1992-95, 1996-97), Penn State (1995-96), Wake Forest (1997-2001), Texas (2001-04, 2023-25) and Memphis (2022-23).
