Travis Mays

Women's Basketball

Associate Head Coach

introduction by Lion Bill Martin

Longhorns

Speakers Bio: The Texas Basketball roots of Travis Mays already run layers deep. He made his mark on the program as a dynamic scoring guard from 1986-90, and Mays also served three seasons as an assistant coach for the Women's Basketball program.

Mays, now with 10 years of coaching experience in women's college and professional basketball, returns to the Forty Acres as associate head coach to Texas Women's Basketball head coach Karen Aston.

Following two years coaching in the WNBA, Mays originally came back to his alma mater as an assistant to Hall of Fame coach Jody Conradt from 2004-07, and he proved himself as a gifted floor coach and recruiter.

Mays moved to LSU and worked on Van Chancellor's staff from 2007-11. At both UT and LSU, Mays helped ink seven nationally-acclaimed recruits, and all seven of the recruiting classes Mays assisted in assembling were ranked among the nation's top-25, including four top-10 efforts and the No. 1 class in the nation for Texas in the fall of 2004.

Mays remains one of the most electrifying players in UT history. A 2002 inductee into UT's Men's Athletics Hall of Fame, Mays is still No. 2 among the Longhorns' career scoring leaders with 2,279 points and was the first player to earn back-to-back Southwest Conference Player of the Year honors in 1989 and 1990.

A native of Ocala, Fla., he received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Texas in 1990. Mays and his wife, Mirella, have two children: daughter Cherrell, a freshman at Texas; and son, Trevor, 5.

Featured Lunch Menu: Coconut Crusted Chicken, & Rice Pilay; mixed field green salad with assorted rolls and a featured daily dessert. Vegetarian meal or Grilled Chicken Caesar salad are available alternatives as well.
