Tez Dumars comes to Waco after assistant coaching stops at Louisiana Tech, North Texas and West Texas A&M, but spent the 2024-25 season at Kansas State as a graduate assistant manager under long-time Baylor men’s associate head coach Jermone Tang, mentoring two All-Big 12 selections.
With Baylor, Dumars oversees the Dream Team male practice squad, the graduate managers and player skill development. The Texas native also shares in the recruiting and scouting efforts.
At Louisiana Tech, the Lady Techsters produced five All-Conference USA selections, with Ann Larr Roberson landing first-team honors after her final season in Ruston before advancing to the semifinals of the Conference USA tournament. Dumar’s first CUSA stop at North Texas featured work with another conference first-teamer, Quincy Noble.
Returning to West Texas A&M for the 2018-19 slate, Dumars assisted his alma mater to an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA DII Tournament after a 34-4 record that held both the regular-season and tournament Lone Star Conference titles.
Following the season on staff with the Buffs in Canyon, Dumars founded Amarillo’s West Texas Premier Basketball Club and was also the assistant director and head coach of the 16U FAM Elite team in Houston, winning the Adidas 3SSB National Championship in its first season on the circuit.
Dumars played overseas between 2015 and 2018 with the Cyprus Division A-League’s Anagennises Germasogeia and ForexTime Apollon. He ended his collegiate career as the No. 4 scorer in West Texas A&M program history with 1,230 points, averaging 10.98 points a game.
A product of Garland Lakeview Centennial High School, Dumars and the Patriots made back-to-back appearances in the UIL 5A State Basketball finals in his junior and senior seasons.
