It`s Not What We Do, But How We Do It - Vic Schaefer, Univ. of Texas

Two-Time National Coach of the Year Vic Schaefer preps to enter his second season as the head coach of Texas Women's Basketball.  

Schaefer, a Texas native who has spent 22 of his 36 years in coaching within the state of Texas and 28 years in the Southwest, is the fifth head coach in program history.  

In 16 seasons as a collegiate head coach, which also includes seven seasons at Sam Houston State, Schaefer now owns a career record of 322-182 [.639].  

Schaefer made quite an impression during his initial campaign on the Forty Acres by leading the Longhorns to 21 wins in 2020-21 as well as to the program’s 10th all-time NCAA Elite Eight (first since 2016). With a magical run through the NCAA Tournament, that included victories over No. 2-seed Maryland, No. 3-seed UCLA and No. 11-seed Bradley, Schaefer became just the ninth coach in Division I history to lead two different programs to the Elite Eight.
