Krista Gerlich has been Texas Tech’s head coach for a little over a month, and she feels right at home in her new position. This is Krista’s third stint in Lubbock. First, she played a Hall of Fame-worthy career there headlined by a National Championship in 1993. Second, she served as Marsha Sharp’s assistant coach from 2003-2006. And now, Krista has returned once more to lead the Red Raiders Women’s Basketball program. This is her 15th year as a head coach after seven seasons at West Texas A&M and seven at UT-Arlington. Krista left UT-A as the Mavericks’ all-time winningest women’s basketball coach.
Krista and her husband Bryan, former football player at Texas Tech, have two children. Bryn is a college junior and Brayden is a freshman...both at Tech! Needless to say, this is a special time for the Gerlich family. Many sacrifices and compromises were made during Krista & Bryan’s journey, but their family was always the top priority.
