UTEP selects Joe Golding as its next basketball coach
The UTEP Miners wasted no time in finding its replacement for departed coach Rodney Terry with Tuesday night’s announced hiring of former Abilene Christian (ACU) Wildcat Coach Joe Golding as the 20th coach in the history of the program.
“I’m honored and humbled to be the next head coach at UTEP,” Golding said. “Growing up in Midland and West Texas, I know all about the storied history and tradition of the Miner program – the 1966 national championship, the NCAA Tournament appearances, the conference titles and all the tremendous head coaches who have come through the Sun City, including the legendary Don Haskins. I look forward to putting the Miner program back on top in Conference USA.”
