Tubby Smith has agreed to terms to become the next coach at Texas Tech, the school announced late Monday night. Associate athletic director Blayne Beal tweeted that a 2 p.m. press conference was scheduled Tuesday to meet the latest man who is coming from a bigger program to try to revive the basketball program in West Texas. Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt met with the team Monday to tell players of Smith's hire, a source with direct knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. The Associated Press had earlier reported that the school had agreed to terms Monday with Smith on a contract. Smith will take over for interim coach Chris Walker, who went 11-20 this season and just 3-15 in Big 12 play. The program is still reeling from Billy Gillispie's volatile one-year tenure, which ended when he resigned in September.
