🔼 It’s All Happening. The San Antonio Express-News picked up the story on Coach Claunch solidifying his roster.

Greg Luca writes, “Stepping on campus to begin his tenure as UTSA’s new men’s basketball coach in early April, Austin Claunch quickly learned he had plenty of roster spots to fill.  

“With only one player choosing to return from a Roadrunners team that went 11-21 during coach Steve Henson’s final season in 2023-24, Claunch and his staff faced a busy couple of months scouring the country for potential transfers.“

🔼 Not All Who Wander Are Lost. This summer, UTSA Athletics has been profiling its numerous areas to provide an inside look into how each unit serves Roadrunners’ student-athletes. 

In this edition, they sat down with Carlie Heineman, Account Manager for Anthony Travel, who manages all UTSA athletics department travel arrangements. Heineman was also a standout UTSA women’s basketball letterwinner from 2014-2018, where she still ranks in the top-five all-time for career three-pointers (192) and in the top 30 for scoring (768 points). 

Q: How does your department service UTSA Athletics? 

Carlie Heineman: “I like to think of myself as a one-stop shop for all things travel. Any staff member in the athletics department, the teams, coaches, anybody who is traveling anywhere – flights, hotels, busses – all runs through me. That’s my job.”

🔼 A Different Angle. News of UT’s $5 million investment into their broadcast control rooms spread to the San Antonio Express-News, with Greg Luca writing, “Before this year, a UTSA baseball or softball stream might run through a single, stationary outfield camera, with a lone director position ensuring the grainy images found their way to the air.  

“Now, those broadcasts are at least a 12-person production, with a new array of camera angles and technology enhancing everything from the live event experience to the quality of official replay reviews.”
