It appears that Summitt's admonition to his team to "Take it to the hole!" was taken too seriously by at least one player.

[Green92]

You'd think a coach would have a better pullout game. 

[All About UNT]

She was really good at playing D. Anytime balls were bounced her way she pounced all over them.

But serious.... this dude is a scumbag.

The AD there should kind of be held responsible for some of this. Dude looks like a magoo anyway. World class pos. 

[UNT90]

He was married and in a position of power over the girl. He shoulda kept it in his drawers.

He will never coach again.

Frazier wasn't listed as one of the players coming. Isn't he going to be on the team?

"SMU transfer Keith Frazier has star potential and will join the Mean Green at the semester break."

That La. Tech AD is in deep doo doo.

[ntmeangreen11]

I have always questioned the sanity of any man who would coach womens basketball.

Not surprising.

He looked like someone that would be on to catch a predator.

[Rudy]

Makes you wonder about his recruiting pitches.

[Got5onIt]

He definitely mastered all Backdoor plays.......

Not sure that's the correct portal for impregnating a player.

Tents were definitely pitched.

Obvious Vito Messaging:  Benford may be bad, but at least he hasn't impregnated any of his players...

Not sure where you wanted to go with this but since she's Tyler's mom that seems in pretty bad taste.

Also, it would be hard to fault the AD for hiring the son of the greatest women's college basketball coach.

La Tech wins a lot in football and basketball. At universities not named UNT, that is how you keep your job at AD.

That AD has zero job concerns.

Zero is probably a bit of a stretch, but from the few reports I've seen it looks like this improper relationship happened just this season. The AD got wind of it, investigated, and acted. It probably shouldn't be a major strike against the AD, especially if it's an isolated incident and not a part of a pattern of subordinate behavior.

If football and MBB keep winning in the meantime that should insulate the AD pretty well. Winning is the best job security and college sports.
