Three New Roadrunners: University of Texas at San Antonio head coach Tim Carter has announced the hiring of two new assistant coaches, Beau Archibald and Lance Madison, and a new administrative assistant, Kyle Kotrla. Archibald comes to UTSA from Jacksonville, where he was an assistant for the past two seasons and was a volunteer assistant under Bobby Knight at Texas Tech for one season. He also was a student assistant at Connecticut, his alma mater. Archibald played on the 1999 UConn national championship team after playing his first two seasons at Washington State. Coaching runs deep in Archibald’s family, as his brother is currently an assistant at Iowa State, and his father was a D-I head coach for 30 years, including stretches at Idaho State, Utah, UNLV, Long Beach, Arizona State and BYU. Archibald’s brother-in-law is the Denver Nuggets’ Mark Pope.
Lance Madison comes to San Antonio from Redlands Community College in El Reno, Okla., where he was an assistant for the past three seasons, and he was previously an assistant at Olney (Ill.) Central Community College for eight seasons. Madison also has worked with USA National teams, including the 2001 USA Basketball Olympic Qualifier team trials and the NJCAA National Team Trials in 1997. Kotrla last season interned in the UTSA athletic department.
Kotrla graduated from Texas A&M where he had been basketball team manager for three seasons. Kotrla will also act as video coordinator for the Roadrunners. Archibald and Madison were named to replace former UTSA assistants Lloyd Williams and Michael Schwartz. Williams, a former player with the Roadrunners, resigned in June to accept a high school coaching position in Tulsa, Okla., while Schwartz was recently named administrative assistant at the University of Miami.
