So at least 5 and up to 7 players have left the Softball team...One of them is #SchoTime...What is going on at Lovelace!

So, which player's parent or friend are you? Or, are you one of the players? First post ever and this is it? Interesting that Coach was at the Gainesville Caravan, but was not at either Ft Worth or Dallas.

I so hope it is nothing more than kids and a HC butting heads regarding playing time and philosophy. Will keep all fingers and toes crossed that it is nothing more. A tough season can do that to a team. Please let it be nothing more.

I heard a rumor SchoTime was not coming back before the last home game of the season. I did not know the breadth of the departures, if the news that started this thread is accurate. Really hope this team, already losing senior leadership, can come together.

Has anyone contacted Vito, FFR or RV to get the scoop? Also, in outoftown post it was mentioned "..caught by the ghosts that chased her from her last job." What ghosts?

I agree with Harry that this is concerning.

So what is the story on the softball team and coach(es)?

93-98 gave you the ECU info.

Vito got a "no comment" from Coach Kee.

I couldn't find any listed sanctions imposed by the NCAA on ECU softball after coach was fired. Heard that an important booster brought the complaint on behalf of his daughter, a player on the team. I remember RV saying he vetted Coach Kee and was satisfied with what he learned to make the hire.

I'm not too concerned until we get some actual information.  If these 5-7 players not returning, are all of them leaving because they are upset with the coach, does this include seniors who are finished, or  could several of these players not be returning for other reasons?  That "hostile environment at ECU could simply be because she's more of a drill instructor than a "pay you on the back" type.  This really could just be a coach with an entirely different coaching style not meshing with the current players.  

I've seen things like this happen many times, especially when working with "kids".  A popular teacher, coach, leader ...leaves and is replaced by someone who is maybe more skilled but is tougher in how they do things.  Kids complain, get their feelings hurt, and leave.  I thought this would be a tougher year for our softball team and it was.  Combine that with a different coach and things like this happen.

Now hopefully that's all it is.  If something is really wrong then Coach Kee and RV both need to be held to task for that.   However, unless something more comes out I'll assume it's just  kids not getting along with their coach.  Let Coach Kee recruit players that will respond to her style and see what happens.  Until we know more details I just kinda shrug my shoulders at this situation.

Been busy the past weeks with kids and their school and month of May events.

But this is all new to me.  I have no idea what is up?  UNTCampbell knows more about this team than anyone else I know?  I hope it doesn't affect our younger players?

I am just a fan and see only what is on the field. No behind the scene connections. Got a little insight from a former coach of one of the players but other than that, I don't know much.

I saw no diminished enthusiasm on the field or on twitter. Big props to Dani Hoff. Never reduced her chatter level...but that explains Dani more than anything else...vibrant, team first, a source of support no matter what.

Question is if internal conflicts with coach explain the mid-to-late season slump.

Waiting for more facts and hoping for the best.

Speaking of our future, Aledo's Lauren Crain is on the mound tonight in the regional final against Azle at Chisholm High School in Saginaw.  I think it starts at 6?  If you want to see top high school softball that's the place to be tonight.

      Let's go totally gangsta, and make a statement with this hire. Let's send notice that North Texas will not tolerate losing to the likes of UTSA. I think we could get this guy as our next DC.............. Jess Loepp https://goutsa.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/jess-loepp He is currently in his 3rd season as the Runners Defensive Coordinator. And, UTSA doesn't have enough money to stop us from taking him.

      Caponi fired

      Just seeing this!! Fantastic....but...why the wait?? We could tell this was a disaster long before now. Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make. Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Two years ago we went toe-to-toe with Boise State in a bowl game. Fast forward to today and Boise State has the inside track to being in the CFP and we’re trending to a #100 ranking. We have Jared Moseley and Eric Morris to thank for that. What a disaster for UNT.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I agree with the reason why most of our alumni don’t care. However I don’t agree with why our administration doesn’t care. I think they want to win on the cheap and not rock the boat with Old Denton. If they wanted to win they would publicly pursued and likely hired one of the high profile younger coaches that made a stop in one of our old conferences or FCS. Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, Major Applewhite, Dat Nguyen (as a DC), Kevin Sumlin, Doug Williams, Howard Schnellenberger, Briles, Gary Patterson, June Jones, Deion Sanders or etc. Now if Zach Orr becomes a FBS head coach without going directly to a program that has not won multiple P5/P4 conferences title or New Years 6 bowls since 1980 without his agent getting a call from UNT it won’t be a surprise. The only coach hire I was ever slightly excited for was Dan McCarney. I have followed this team as a knowledgeable CFB fan for 25 years.

      Yeah....Army has a ways to go. They've actually got Notre Dame (neutral site--Yankee Stadium I think).....then host UTSA.....then the AAC championship game (which, as you say....will be against Tulane). But Boise has to lose.....for their to even be a chance.
