Breaking: According to my sources, Eastlake Interim Head Basketball Coach Eric Martinez will not be returning for the 2026-2027 season. Martinez earned District 1-6A Coach of the year honors after leading the falcons to a 29-9 record. @elpasotimes @KTSMtv @KFOX14 @600espnelpaso

@CoachAvalosEDHS @MLuera22_EDHS Now it’s Luera”s turn to get his ass kicked by Brooks twice a year. Way to pass the torch Coach 😁

🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ not to toot my own horn, but I reported this 6 weeks ago

[Eric Martinez @emart1nezz]

Not an easy decision to leave education.
🏀🏆 🏃‍♂️🥇🏃‍♀️🥇

It was never just about wins, it was about the kids, the relationships, and the impact that lasts beyond the season.
Grateful for the journey.

On to a new challenge.

@LockedUtepjaco If you’re a diehard and support the people in charge right now and think the coaches we have right now other than Wallis are worth a dam, then you’re insanely delusional. Sad to see fans like you are such casuals that you say you’ll support proven losers. WAKE UP!

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@CoachBenWallis, there’s no opinions here. These are facts that back up how bad Athletics have been under Senter and how bad the coaching aside from you has been. We’ve been in a bad football and basketball conference and have only gotten worse. Need to hold people accountable!!

[Chris @SomeguyChris_]

Contract ends in August 2026.

Does Senter “absolutely” deserve an extension?

Tons goes on behind the scenes but fans only care about the on field/court product. #UTEP

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@CoachBenWallis @theUTEPnews Joe Golding and Scotty Walden not being able to win isn’t an opinion Ben, it’s a Fact. What people are calling stupid is Heather Wilson’s blatant disregard for the reality of where Utep Athletics is at under Jim Senter. We don’t need good guys, we need winners like you !

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@CoachBenWallis @theUTEPnews Yeah but let’s be 100% honest with each other, all that matters to fans is Wins and losses. And the football and basketball teams have been doing a whole lot of losing. It’s just bad coaching, teams with less resources have consistently been doing more. And that’s a FACT BEN !!

[Chris @SomeguyChris_]

This is such a lie.

UTEP football averaged 20k+ fans for 32 straight seasons (1985-2016)

Since Senter took over in 2017?

Zero seasons with 20k+ attendance.

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@CoachBenWallis @theUTEPnews Cmon Coach, Brilliant ??? What have you been watching, other than your team. Utep athletics has been a laughing stock for the past 10 years. Football and Basketball have been at the bottom of the standings since she took over as president. You’ve been the only good hire by Senter

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@tobias_bass @UtepZay @VictorySportsM @TheAthleticCBB @Ani_Umana @ThePortalReport @VerbalCommits @SSN_UTEP @rotobrady @AnalyticalCoach @CoachTJthomas Thank the heavens! He’ll be lucky if a D2 school picks him up. One of the worst 3 ⭐️ guards in UTEP history. @trev_johnson can have him back 🤣🤣

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

Breaking: Sources telling me that Western Refining CEO and El Paso Billionaire, Paul Foster is under a lot of pressure from UTEP fans to make giant NIL donations to the school. Im being told that Foster is open to it, but he said quote “Joe has to go” @AdrianBroaddus @KTSMtv

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

Breaking: Sources telling me that there is a major announcement coming out soon surrounding the UTEP Basketball Program… @AdrianBroaddus @stevekaplowitz @AndyMorganTV @SSN_UTEP @elpasotimes

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

As I reported 2 days ago, this fall will be Canutillo Head Football Coach Scott Brooks’ last season coaching the eagles. He told me quote “I’m going for win 300” a perfect way to go out for a legendary career. This fall will be his 27th year at the helm. @KTSMtv @elpasotimes

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

Breaking: 2 confirmed long tenure Head Coaches will be moving on sources tell me, Scott Brooks of Canutillo Football will be retiring after this season, & Peter Morales of Eastwood Basketball will be taking a promotion at the YISD center. @AdrianBroaddus @elpasotimes @KTSMtv

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

Breaking: Multiple sources telling me that quote “a handful of big donors” have already been on the phone with Utep AD Jim Senter about who will take over the program after Golding steps down, I’m told it will happen within the next 2 weeks. @AdrianBroaddus @SSN_UTEP @theUTEPnews

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@trev_johnson @AdrianBroaddus Don’t worry Golding will need a job soon, maybe he’ll be down to coach with you and you guys can watch all the KJ Thomas defensive tape why you simultaneously try to figure out how to have a basketball team with a winning record 👍🏼

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@AdrianBroaddus why does KJ Thomas continue to catch minutes !!!!!!! Someone ask GOLDING AFTER THEY LOSE RIGHT NOW, why has Thomas started all year ??

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@trev_johnson @AdrianBroaddus Someone’s mad they got routed by a former 3A High School, go worry about your 15-21 basketball team. No wonder you’re defending Golding, you’re both not winners! Scoring has always been the way to win at the mid - major level, and Golding hasn’t figured it out.

[Utepsportsguy66 @utepsportsguy66]

@trev_johnson @AdrianBroaddus Jamal West is the leader who are you kidding. This team doesn’t need defenders! That clearly hasn’t worked, UTEP CANT SCORE. Clearly you didn’t teach that up in Amarillo. I’ve been told by multiple D1 coaches that KJ wouldn’t start at the high D2 level. 25% from 3 as a guard 😭😭
