I knew he was the football coach at Texas A&M and had great success there as well as at Nebraska and later Texas but I was unaware that he also had coached basketball at Texas A&M from 1920 to 1926 (Fall years here since it must be understood when I say 1920 I mean the 1920-21 basketball season). He had success coaching basketball at Texas A&M also because his teams won three SWC championships and his overall record was 90-47. It must be remembered that the college basketball seasons then were not that long and averaged around 20 to 21 games a year. I don't know if he coached basketball at UT or not. I don't think he did. I was unable to find past history information on basketball at the UT which is probably my fault more than the web site. :( Still interesting to know he coached two sports at Texas A&M and in view of his success in football and basketball there it makes one wonder again why no building has not been named for him.
