Bill Brock - Women's Basketball Coach - Texas Tech Red Raiders

Bill Brock

Title:
Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach

Entering his fourth year as associate head coach at Texas Tech, Bill Brock serves as the recruiting coordinator and defensive coordinator, and works with the post players and scouts opponents. When Kristy Curry was putting together her staff at Texas Tech, she knew she wanted a person with extensive recruiting experience and that is exactly what she got when she hired Brock. It was evident right away as Brock helped orchestrate a top 10 recruiting class in his first year with the Lady Raiders. After spending the last six years at Baylor, two years as an assistant coach and the last four years as associate head coach, Brock comes to Tech with vast knowledge of coaching as he developed the Lady Bears[apos] inside game to one of the best around and produced two All-Americans in Sophia Young and Steffanie Blackmon. Brock was also an instrumental part in the Lady Bears winning the 2005 NCAA National Championship, appearing in six postseason tournaments, including five NCAA Tournaments, and winning a Big 12 Conference regular-season championship and tournament title in 2005. While at Baylor, Brock served as recruiting coordinator where he helped land some of the nation[apos]s best recruiting classes. His hard work and commitment helped the Lady Bears land the No. 1 recruiting class in the country in 2005-06 according to the All-Star Girls Report. Prior to his time in Waco, Brock spent 13 seasons as the head coach at Grayson County College (Texas), establishing that program as one of the best in junior college ranks. During his first year at Grayson in 1987-88, Brock led the Lady Vikings to their first-ever Northern Texas Conference title and a top 25 national ranking. Grayson continued that success by winning 10 conference championships, two regional championships and two national tournament berths (1996, 2000). During his tenure, the Lady Vikings were a mainstay in the top 10 national poll. He wrapped up his time at Grayson with a 371-50 record and was highlighted by a 36-1 season and a third-place finish at the 2000 NJCAA National Tournament. He also coached 10 Northern Texas Conference Most Valuable Players and nine All-Americans. Brock[apos]s efforts were recognized by his peers, as he was voted conference Coach of the Year nine times and regional Coach of the Year twice. He was also recognized in 1996 as the National Junior College Coach of the Year by the Women[apos]s Basketball Coaches Association. Brock[apos]s on-court success also carried over into the classroom. With his emphasis on academics and graduation of players, over 60 GCC student-athletes received scholarships and continued their basketball careers at four-year institutions. Before his stint at Grayson, Brock was an assistant coach for the men[apos]s basketball team at East Central University (Oklahoma) from 1985-87. He got his start in coaching as the head boys coach at Durant High School (Oklahoma) from 1982-85. The Oklahoma native graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State in 1976 and received his master[apos]s degree from there in 1981. He and his wife, Janice, have a daughter, Danika, a Texas Tech graduate and her husband, Mark Morefield, and a daughter, Whitney, also a Tech grad, and a three-year-old grandson, Brock.
