Just saw Chris Ogden over on the Red Raider bench. Didn't know he was coaching in Lubbock. Good guy who played his butt off while playing for us. http://admin.texastech.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1982&path=mbball
Think C.O. spent at least one season at Tennessee. Think he knows Beard when Beard was a student manager/coach so that is probably the connection as well as being closer to home.
