Danny Kaspar is in his fifth season at Texas State, after coaching 13 seasons as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin, where he guided the Lumberjacks to a 246-141 record that included seven, 20-win seasons. Kaspar is in his 27th season as a head coach ranked among the Top 25 winningest active Division I coaches, with an overall career record of 524-263 and has the 29th highest winning percentage.

The 2016-17 season saw Texas State finish 22-14 to achieve the first winning season in program history in 14 years. The campaign also saw the Bobcats make its first postseason tournament appearance in 20 years with a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and reach the finals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament to come within a victory of making the NCAA Tournament.

Texas State’s win total gave the program its second 20-win season in program history since becoming a Division I program and first since 1993-94. During the Bobcats’ run to the CIT quarterfinals, the team won its first postseason game as a NCAA program, picked up the first postseason win since 1980 and won two postseason contests for the first time since 1979.
