ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY

An instrumental leader in the resurgence of the Angelo State men’s basketball program, Cinco Boone has been promoted to head coach following the resignation of Chris Beard who accepted the same position at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. Boone, who helped guide the Rams to a 47-15 record over the past two seasons as the associate head coach, becomes the sixth head coach in ASU’s basketball history and takes the reins of a program which advanced to last year’s NCAA Division II Sweet 16. He arrived at ASU with prior coaching experience at the Division I, Division II, junior college and high school levels, including working as Beard’s assistant coach at McMurry University during the 2012-13 season which followed two seasons as an assistant at Stephen F. Austin.
