Texas Tech basketball: Christmas gifts Chris Beard wants from his team

What do you get the guy who has everything? That’s certainly what the family and friends of Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard have to be asking these days.

Of course, it began in the spring when he led his team to its first-ever Big 12 regular-season title and the National Title Game. As a result, he became a household name in college basketball circles and one of the fastest-rising commodities in the NCAA, regardless of sport.
