The move was announced by Texas A&M Associate Athletic Di rector Marvin Tate. The veteran Bender has 19 years coaching experience in Texas. She has coached previously at Poteet, Jourdanton, Tomball, Victoria, Al pine and Snook high schools. During that time, Bender has produced two all-America players, nine all-State cagers and 15 athletes who went on to receive college bas ketball scholarships. Don will now devote all of her time to her duties as associate athle tic director for women at Texas A&M. Don has been basketball coach and in charge of women’s athletics since 1974. She was instrumental in the establishment of a women’s ath letic program in 1972. Under her guidance, the A&M women’s program shared the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Trophy awarded to the best all-around program in Texas. Don now will take full charge of the 10 women’s sports of the Texas Association of Intercollegiate Athle tics for Women. The school is also a member of the national branch of the organization. While under Don’s tenure, the budget for the women’s program has grown from a few donations and al locations to more than $40,000. Participation in women’s col legiate sports has risen from a mere handful to nearly 200 athletes, a substantial figure considering that Texas A&M did not become fully co-educational until 1966 and there was no on-campus housing for women until 1972.
