College Coach Spotlight: Texas A&M’s Jo Evans… Hall of Famer Looking to Add to School-Record 18-Straight NCAA Tourney Appearances

Last week, we ran our complete list of the Extra Elite 100 College Coaches list and one of those who made the Top 15 was Jo Evans of Texas A&M.

Coach Evans is entering her 25^th year as head coach of the Aggies program and has led the SEC program to a school-record 18-straight NCAA Tournament appearances since 2002 while also producing 86 Texas A&M players who have earned academic all-conference awards.
