This, I was thinking about how we all regret the Litrell raise, but Mac has actually had the best records in UNT history.

Dang, hate to see him go but I wish him all the best. I'm pretty ignorant on this subject, is there someone you more savvy BB guys have in mind that would be a great get?

Yeah, but with those flames you're trying to cook a brisket in 20 minutes. It's just not the way to do things all the time. 😉

Dude I dislike SMU as much as the next green blooded fan, but these posters, as far as I can tell, haven't been here to troll or put down UNT in any way. If they had I'd be all for cursing them off the board. It's a public forum, and they've taken a lot of abuse without replying in kind. I have no problem with banter, or even ridiculing each other's schools, but let's leave the personal insults out please.

Rubin Jones looked surprisingly good in the Texas St. game. It wasn't a part of his game I think I had seen before, hopefully they let him do that a bit more next year.

I'd wager one way or another he isn't at LA Tech next year, this just sends a message of him wanting to move on.

If Mac was hired away and Hodge wasn't the next in line, that's definitely who I'd go for. You can just sense he is going to put a great program together at UTEP.

New members will likely be staggered with payouts meaning we won't get the full payout off the bat. No one knows what we will get but rumors are that it will be 2m and increasing every year. It also covers our entrance fee IIRC.

Knowing the type of guy Mac is I feel like he would be advocating bumps for his staff first and himself 2nd if he stays at UNT.

Agreed, but I talked about this in another thread. I saw so many transfers to other teams last year you'd think they were the ones that won an NCAA game.

Would love to snag whoever is the main recruiter at WKU. They always have impressive talent over there.

Those numbers don't make sense. He'd be getting more than Penny at Memphis for doing the same job as Jankovich. The expectation with that kind of salary is Sweet 16/Elite 8, what happens if he misses the tournament altogether?

Excited to see what this young man can do next year.

We need to get the AC expansion going yesterday. AAC is a big step up, and we need to be ready to compete.

If we can get the same improvement from year 1 to year 2 for Scott that we got for Ousmane, he will be phenomenal.

I hope he comes back. I think we all do.

I'm ignorant on how these things work, but what are the possibilities for him to join the staff?

JJ shows you what hard work gets you. Be unselfish, but be relentless and you will be rewarded. Thank you JJ.

Yeah, I can definitely see how this case is different. Did we not have a time out to be able to talk it over?

The fact that he got 2 threads should say something. 😉 My post from the other thread:

Just saying... 😏

That's why the best ball handler always has the ball in these scenarios, to try and minimize any of those other factors. In a way it's not about getting the best chance to win, but the best chance to not lose. If you make the bucket great, but if you don't you still have overtime.

See, they don't want it and I get it to a degree. It's a lose-lose for them. They win: Of course, they are supposed to beat UNT. They lose: They got upset by a CUSA team. We don't have the name to be a good loss, and they have to protect their image. Hopefully the move to the AAC boosts our perception.

There is some merit is what you say, but also more risks. What if they steal? What if you foul? What if you mishandle a pass? You want to have the last opportunity while leaving your opponent without one, the way to do that is to hold for the last shot. We were close (twice,) it just didn't fall for us.

Maybe, but I think we would need a couple more years of consistency like Layola or Murray State, *we have taken steps but aren't a regular in the midmajor conversation. At least not for them to come to Denton, I think they would totally host us at Charlottesville.
