First-year men’s basketball head coach Jared Fleming BS’09, MS’10 is no stranger to The University of Texas at Dallas court. Then as an assistant coach, Fleming helped lead the Comets to the 2019 ASC championship and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. Fleming spent three years as an assistant coach at Franklin College in Indiana and then returned to Texas in 2014 as an assistant coach at Schreiner University in Kerrville. Recruiting would change, but “basketball is basketball,” Fleming said. “If you’re coming here just to play basketball, we’re not the right place for you,” he said.
