The 2009-10 season will mark Larry Mendez' first with the Texan basketball program as an assistant coach.
He comes to us after serving two seasons (2007-2009) at Moberly Area Community College (Missouri) as an assistant coach.
Mendez began his coaching career as a student assistant at Angelo State University, where he finished his undergraduate degree in 2001. In his last season at Angelo, the Rams were crowned champions of the Lone Star Conference and qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament.
From 2001-2003, Mendez served as a graduate assistant at Texas A&M-Kingsville.
Upon completion of his graduate degree, Mendez moved to Jefferson City, Missouri where he coached at Lincoln University from 2003-06.
During the 2006-07 basketball season Mendez coached at Howard College, where he helped guide the Hawks to the semi-final of the Region 5 tournament. Unfortunately for Mendez and the Hawks, they fell in that game to Coach Steve Green's SPC Texans.
