Texas fires Chris Beard amid felony domestic violence charge
FILE - Texas' head coach Chris Beard, left, meets with Tyrese Hunter and Marcus Carr at the bench during the first half of the team's NCAA college basketball game against Illinois in the Jimmy V Classic, Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, in New York. Texas fired basketball coach Chris Beard on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023, while he faces a felony domestic family violence charge stemming from a Dec. 12 incident involving his fiance.
The university's vice president of legal affairs, Jim Davis, wrote in a letter to Beard's attorney that Beard engaged in “unacceptable behavior that makes him unfit to serve as head coach at our university.” Whether prosecutors continue with the case does not determine whether Beard engaged in conduct unbecoming of the school, Davis wrote.
Beard’s attorney, Perry Minton, has said the coach is innocent and pointed to Trew's statement in a letter sent early Thursday to the university in which he pressed the school to keep Beard on the job. “This lack of self-awareness is yet another failure of judgement that makes Mr. Beard unfit to serve as a head coach at our university,” Davis wrote.
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said Terry would remain acting head coach through the rest of this season.
