Dave Campbell’s Texas Basketball has learned that Mary Hardin-Baylor will name Katie Novak as the women’s basketball head coach. Novak returns to Texas after spending one season at NCAA Division II Hawai’i Pacific, where she led the Sharks to a 14-14 overall record and a 12-8 record in the PacWest Conference.
Before heading to Hawai’i, Novak led an incredible turnaround at Sul Ross State. The Lobos finished 14-11 in her final season at the helm in 2021-2022, marking the program's first winning season since 2003. The Lobos finished that season with its most single-season conference wins (10) since joining the American Southwest Conference.
