Statement from Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt
We hope Billy
Gillispie has a full recovery, but we cannot wait forever as we have a
basketball team that starts practice soon.
In the meantime, Associate Head Coach Chris Walker will assume the responsibility for day-to-day operations of our men's basketball program. Coach Walker will help ensure that leadership and accountability will be in place for our student-athletes, assistant coaches and staff.

We have been seeking a
swift resolution to this issue from the very beginning. We remain
committed to communicating with Billy face-to-face regarding the issues
relating to the men's basketball program; however,
time is of the essence.
