UTSA fires men’s basketball head coach Austin Claunch after he is charged in an alleged DWI incident. According to multiple reports, UTSA had already suspended him in October, and the university now formally ends the coaching relationship.
Outlets describe the change as an expected next step after the suspension. CBS Sports and other outlets say UTSA and Claunch “mutually agree” to part ways, and that Nick Bowman—serving as acting head coach—moves into the interim role for the rest of the season.
Several outlets also provide brief career context. One report notes Claunch is in his third season at UTSA and lists his record for the 2025–26 campaign, while others focus more directly on the timing and the fact of the dismissal following the alleged DWI arrest. Across coverage, the central agreed elements are the alleged DWI charge, the prior suspension, and Bowman’s interim appointment.
