Former Houston head coach Tim Haney is moving to....

Arlington High School where he will be an assistant. As you recall, Haney stepped down from the head coaching position with the Mustangs to be able to spend more time with his family as he lives in the Bartlett area. Head coaches spend a tremendous amount of time not only coaching the game but taking care of all of the administrative needs as well. As an assistant, Haney will be able to spend that time with his family and still coach the game that he loves.
