Men’s Golf Assistant Coach Jean-Paul Hebert is one of four finalists for Men’s Golf’s Assistant Coach of the Year.
AUSTIN, Texas – Assistant Men's Golf Coach Jean-Hebert has been named a finalist for the Jan Strickland Award, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced on Tuesday.
The Strickland Award is presented to the NCAA Division I, II, II, NAIA, or NJCAA assistant coach that has excelled in working with their student-athletes both on the course and in the classroom.
Hebert is one of four finalists, including Ryan Blagg of Baylor, North Carolina's Andrew DiBietetto and LSU's Garrett Runion.
Hebert was instrumental in helping the 2014-15 squad to its ninth-consecutive NCAA Championship, advancing to match play before falling to USC in the quarterfinal round. The team also won seven tournaments during the season, the second-most in school history, and boasted four All-Americans, the Big 12 Player of the Year and the Phil Mickelson Outstanding Freshman Award.
Hebert has helped lead No. 1 Texas to four first-place finishes this season, including seven top-four showings. Longhorn golfers have combined medalist honors six times in 2015-16.
The Strickland Award recipient will have the opportunity to further his professional development by receiving an invitation to the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Kingdom in Carlsbad, Calif.
