SAN MARCOS, Texas– Head coach Danny Kaspar was named the HoopsHD.com Coach of the Year for the Sun Belt Conference by Jon Teitel as well as a finalist for the 2019 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award.  
 
The 2018-19 season has been Coach Kaspar's best at the helm of the Bobcat program. His team is 23-8 this year, marking the most regular season wins in the program's history since joining Division I, and 12-6 in Sun Belt games which stands as the most since joining the league in 2013-14. Kaspar moved to No. 3 in all-time victories as the head coach for the Texas State men's basketball program with a 65-57 win over Coastal Carolina on Feb. 9. He passed Henry G. Shands (1924-35) and his predecessor Doug Davalos (2006-13) who both have 92 career wins. Coach Kaspar now has 97 total victories with the Maroon and Gold and ranks No. 22 in the Sun Belt Conference record book with 49 wins.

Named after the late Skip Prosser, who died suddenly in 2007 while the head coach at Wake Forest, the Skip Prosser Man of the Year award is presented annually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who also display moral integrity off of it as well. The recipient of the award will be announced on April 5 at the College Insider Awards Event, in Minneapolis, the site of the 2019 NCAA Division I basketball championship.
