Tarleton Bids Farewell to Coach Gillispie

Tarleton State Universitys basketball team is parting ways with head coach Billy Gillispie, who has faced serious health challenges for years. Gillispie, 66, led the Texans to a 78-74 record since joining in 2020 but missed the entire 2023-24 season due to blood pressure issues. He was placed on administrative leave in October 2025 following an anonymous complaint about his treatment of players. Associate head coach Glynn Cyprien is currently serving as the acting head coach as the team sits at 14-15 this season. The program now turns to fresh leadership amid uncertainty.
