Shawn Forrest to UTSA

[Harry]

Shawn Forrest, a longtime assistant coach who was a key component in North Texas’ six-year run of unprecedented success in men’s basketball under Johnny Jones, is back in Texas.

Texas-San Antonio announced today that Forrest has joined its staff under new head coach Steve Henson.

Forrest was at UNT from 2008-12, right in the middle of the Mean Green’s run of six straight winning seasons that included two NCAA tournament berths and five 20-win campaigns from 2006-12. He helped recruit Tony Mitchell and Jordan Williams.

Rumor was he was the favorite to get the job when Jones left and then we pulled an RV

I think it was just that, a rumor. I don't recall him ever being involved much in the Xs and Os of the program but I know he helped a lot with recruiting.

I do not think he was the right guy and I don't think he was a finalist, assuming he applied.

He didn't fit our criteria of proven winner with head coaching experience.

Didn't he have some discrepancies on his resume?  Why yes, yes he did.

Something missed at UNT completely.

I'm shocked...
