AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Two people with knowledge of the interview say North Texas women’s basketball coach Karen Aston has met with Texas officials about the vacant Longhorns job.

Aston met with Texas women’s athletic director Chris Plonsky and university President William Powers on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the people who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the interviews.

Former Texas coach Gail Goestenkors resigned March 20 after the Longhorns failed to advance past the first round of the NCAA tournament for the fourth year in a row.

Aston is a former Texas assistant (1998-2006), who has spent the last five seasons as the head coach at Charlotte and North Texas. She’s the only coach to come to Austin for an interview for the job.
