WICHITA FALLS (June 14, 2026) –
The Wichita Falls NetBurners have announced today the decision to part ways with Derrick Harris as head coach.

The culture and vision of the NetBurners did not align with Harris’s. The goal of the organization is to prioritize positivity, accountability, and success. Harris was hired in December 2025 and coached in one exhibition game for the NetBurners.

Anthony Smith, who was originally hired as Vice President of Player Personnel, will takeover as head coach.

💫 Flashback Friday:
The Texans showed Wichita Falls what was possible. 🏀 A 1991 CBA Championship, an NBA first-round pick in Ennis Whatley, and six years of must-see basketball at D.L. Ligon Coliseum. That era ended in '94. But the SPIRIT never left.
Your Wichita Falls NetBurners aren't starting from scratch– we're building on a foundation this city already laid. Wichita Falls made believers before. Let's do it again. 🖤🔥
