As fans of college basketball turn eager attention to the true start of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, Texas Tech will be continuing to search for the coach it hopes can return the Red Raiders to that stage – one they haven't graced since 2007.

In the week since Tech's season ended with a 28-point loss to Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals, athletic director Kirby Hocutt has been busy interviewing a handful of potential candidates for the job created by Billy Gillispie's resignation six months ago.

The Texas Tech basketball program is in the middle of a search for a permanent coach for the second time since 2011, when Billy Gillispie was hired to replace Pat Knight.

Gillispie left after one season, and Chris Walker served as the interim coach this season. He is one of the candidates for the job, according to Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, but it's been less clear as to who else may be in the picture.

The situation was eerily similar.

After grabbing the rebound off a missed free throw in a game against West Virginia, the final seconds ticking away, Chris Walker called a timeout.

Rewind to Feb. 16. Tech was pushing the ball up the court with about 10 seconds left when Walker called time, the Red Raiders trailing by two points. It appeared as if Tech may have had numbers, but Walker said he didn't want to see the game end with his team turning the ball over, having been unable to get off a final shot.
