In addition to departing players, Texas Tech came to the spotlight on Friday, September 7 when head coach Billy Gillispie was hospitalized for undisclosed medical reasons.[2] That same day, Texas Tech officials announced that Gillispie was being investigated for possible player misconduct.[3] Gillispie would be discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, September 5.[4] A few days later, Monday, September 10, an ambulance was sent to the home of Gillispie. Gillispie was once again sent to the hospital for an undisclosed medical reason.[5] On Thursday, September 13, Gillispie resigned as head coach of Texas Tech, citing he was leaving due to health reasons.[6]
