making 5 out of 11 isn't good enough.... 

45% from deep is very good. 

With no defense? you think good shooters are shooting 5 out of 11 in practice? not saying it is bad but they need to be spectacular to overcome the apparent coaching deficiencies we have seen. Just sayin.

it's difficult to run drills and go through practice and then shoot. They are also in constant motion and not standing still. I am concerned about this season but at this point 3 point shooting isn't a concern until I see a game or two. If we are only making 2 or 3 each game then yes we are in some trouble.

Hey guys, I know I'm new to this board and UNT basketball, but from the comments it doesn't sound like many here played college ball or coached at a high level.  I agree with Andrew, constant motion, after a long practice, early in the year- you will not see many makes.  Looking at the date, the video is a month old, when I assume summer workouts for some were just beginning.

As a coach, I see this team has more size than last year and probably better guard play. On paper, they should be able to play uptempo a lot more than last year. But we won't know until they get into real practices and we see a scrimmage or two.  Just my take.

 

RIP Darryl Dawkins...

As usual, I see a positive opinion...or just a fact...is not well received. And, from this time a new poster who has obviouly some experience in knowing what he is talking about.  Is it any wonder that we cannot have any decent discussions about Mean Green basketball these days?  It's sort of like another board where you either post that everything sucks with UNT or you just need not bother to post.

Way to welcome a new poster folks.  I'm guessing we don't get the pleasure of many more posts from this coach or experienced player.  If you read the post, you know it isn't Andrew...and you know it isn't UNT90, so give the guy a break, open your mind a bit and perhaps enjoy a decent discussion of Mean Green basketball.  It has been a long time since one of those has been seen around here.  Thanks for trying Bullyballer and welcome aboard.  Post about basketball more please, just understand that you will take a beating from the "usual suspects".

these are the same posters who ran off Jordan Williams mom from posting on the boards because of the horrible and negative posts. She stopped posting long before Jordan suited up for his last games.

Eh, I sat behind her during Jordan's first game @ UTA. She knows how to be negative.

That said, I would never recommend family members interact with fan boards while their kid/sibling/cousin/whatever is still

an active player.

Hey guys, no sweat. I can take the suspect jabs. I am not the parent of anyone on the team.  I am me and love the game of basketball. I have an interest in following a couple of the young men on the team, which makes me want to see success for the program as a whole. I do come from a coach's and player's experience.  I call it like I see it and would hope no matter the likes or dislikes of certain coaches or players, that others on this board would be fair to the young men trying hard to please their coaches and fan base.

We nearly always had nice words for Jordan, even in the depths of our anger.  If she couldn't handle the fact the team was under performing and we took it out on the coach like every other fanbase in the country does, then I mean...sorry but not sorry.

perhaps we should be better than other fan bases. I get a few comments on someone, but constantly bashing gets nowhere.

I'd say we are...many other fanbases would have had the pull to get him fired already.

To post twitter photos and vids (not just for you but everyone else) -- click the tweet you want to use to "open" it up.  Click "details" link which appears.  Copy the code in the address bar of your browser at the top.  Paste it into the GMG post.  Press return.  Rinse and repeat!

PS - this is how it works for desktop not 100% you can do it with all phones and tablets...

That doesn't make us nice...it shows that the fan base overall is cheap!  Those other schools fans put their money where their mouths are.  UNT fans...just run their mouths and then stop supporting the program while thinking posting crap on a fan web site makes a difference.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
