by Sul Ross State University has the removed the interim tag from men’s basketball head coach Xavier Webb.
Webb (Cowlitz/Eastern Shoshone) was named interim head coach on April 20, 2020 after the departure of Clif Carroll for Mary Hardin-Baylor.
“I want to thank Amanda Workman and Pete Gallego for having the faith, support, and trust in me in continuing to lead our Lobos,” said Webb. ” I am truly honored to be the head coach at my alma mater and work with Patrick Mound and B.J. Hollis. They have done an excellent job throughout the season and into this offseason.”
In his first season, Webb finished with a 9-12 record and 7-8 in American Southwest Conference play.
He picked up his first collegiate win on Friday, November 27 in a 73-50 road victory over McMurry.
Webb led the Lobos to the ASC Tournament before bowing out in the quarterfinals to Hardin-Simmons.
“It’s an honor to have Coach Webb serve in this role, said Athletic Director Amanda Workman. “He has done an outstanding job building team rapport and showing support for his fellow coaches. His loyalty to the program is evident and I can’t wait to see what all he will accomplish.”
Webb now looks to continue the proud tradition of Lobos basketball. “I hold myself and our program to a championship standard,” said Webb. We will continue to bring in guys who share that vision and play with chips on their shoulders.”
