A UTSA suspendeu o técnico de basquete Austin Claunch depois da sua prisão por suspeita de dirigir embriagado, anunciou a universidade nesta quarta-feira.
O assistente Nick Bowman assume como técnico interino enquanto a universidade “analisa as circunstâncias e vai determinar os próximos passos apropriados”. Os Roadrunners abrem a temporada na segunda-feira contra o San Jose State.
Em nota, Claunch pediu desculpas e assumiu a responsabilidade. “Cometi um erro grave de julgamento, e lamento profundamente as minhas ações e a decepção que causei”, disse. “Reconheço a responsabilidade que vem com o cargo de técnico principal e o exemplo que se espera que eu dê, dentro e fora da quadra. Fiquei abaixo dessas expectativas, e por isso sinto muito de verdade.”
Ele também se dirigiu às pessoas ao redor do programa, incluindo a reitora Taylor Eighmy e a diretora de esportes Lisa Campos, e disse estar comprometido a reconquistar a confiança delas.
Claunch chegou à UTSA em 2024, depois de trabalhar como assistente de Nate Oats no Alabama, e o cartel dele lá é de 17-44 em duas temporadas. Na última campanha a equipe teve 5-25 no geral e 1-17 na American. Antes disso, ele comandou o próprio programa em Nicholls, de 2018 a 2023.
