TL;DR

New Mexico State has hired Jason Hooten, former Sam Houston State coach, as their new men's basketball coach to replace Greg Heiar, who was fired last month after two off-court incidents. Hooten had six 20 plus win seasons during his time at Sam Houston State and is known for building hard-nosed, defensive-minded teams with character and integrity. NMSU is transitioning from the WAC to Conference USA, and Hooten's Division One coaching experience makes him a good fit for the program.
