Tarleton State’s Gillispie reinstated after review
Tarleton State has reinstated men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie, who was placed on temporary administrative leave Friday following an investigation into an anonymous complaint.
“We’re thankful to the Texas A&M system for working expeditiously in addressing this anonymous complaint,” Tarleton State athletic director Steve Uryasz said in a statement Monday. “The welfare of our student-athletes is of the utmost importance to Tarleton State University and the Texas A&M System. We look forward to the start of the Texan men’s basketball season.”
No details as to the nature of the complaint were made available. Associate head coach Glynn Cyprien served as acting head coach amid the investigation.
Gillispie is known for his tough practices, something he says he tells prospective recruits in his program.
Gillispie faced allegations of player mistreatment while he was the coach at Texas Tech in 2011 and 2012. He resigned as the Red Raiders coach — citing health concerns — in September 2012. The resignation came about a month after the school said it was investigating the claims, which stemmed from Texas Tech players expressing concerns about the way they were being treated by Gillispie.
Questions about Gillispie’s coaching style also were raised during his time at Kentucky, including the treatment of players and staff in the athletic department. He was fired in 2009, with Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart saying Gillispie “wasn’t the right fit for the program.” A $3 million settlement over his firing was reached later that year.
Gillispie, 65, is in his sixth season at Tarleton State, the longest of his five Division I head coaching stints, which also include time at UTEP and Texas A&M.
Gillispie is 78-74 at Tarleton State, including a 25-10 record in 2023-24 and a CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) appearance. He has a 226-182 record in 13 seasons as a head coach with four NCAA tournament appearances.

Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a burglary that took place at the home of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders in November, the Medina County (Ohio) Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
The three individuals who allegedly broke into Sanders’ home Nov. 16, as well as the driver of the vehicle involved, have been identified, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. The fourth suspect is at large with an active warrant for his arrest, according to the release, which also stated that the investigation has been completed.
The sheriff’s office said approximately $200,000 in property was stolen from Sanders’ home in Granger Township, a Cleveland suburb, during the break-in, which occurred while he was making his NFL debut in a Week 11 game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.
Sanders, the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL draft, just completed his first season in the NFL. A son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur started the final seven games of the season for the Browns and completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

“For the first day, I was definitely really nervous. I think the nerves just got to me,” she said. “When I went out there today, I felt very calm and peaceful, to be honest with you. That’s why I played better.
“I did everything I could possibly have done for this tournament. So, I think if you prepare right, the nerves can … they’re always going to be there, right? They can be a little softened. So, I would just say that.”
Trump’s performance earned the praise of women’s golf star Charley Hull, a supporter of the president.

“That’s really good considering this is not just an easy LPGA event. This is probably one of the harder courses that we play on,” Hull said of Trump, per Golf Channel.
“So, for her to come out, she had to be so nervous. It was her first LPGA event. I remember my first event. I was really nervous, and she’s got a lot of pressure on her and a lot of eyes on her.”
