The gift that keeps on giving!

So they're moving out of large, separate offices into cramped joined spaces?  Who approved that to begin with?

In the story ...

"Plans for the new basketball offices and ticket booth were approved by UNT's former administration, UNT spokesman Paul Corliss said.

I try to be positive but this feels like Vito just needlessly being negative, particularly at RV. Let it go Brett.

Not at all.  This is a good, fact-based article.

Have to disagree.  Whoever approved facilities of this nature should have to pay for the change orders.

I didn’t know you could renovate something that wasn’t finished yet. I think it’s a good article because you have to let the public know something is jacked up. I was wondering why it’s taken so long for this project to be finished.

A $25K change order in the grand scheme of athletics or construction, in general, is not that big of a deal. I'm sure there's a bevy of funds in the foundation that can be tapped for this. Glad they're making the change to make it what the coaches and WB want it to be.

Bad design/planning on someone’s part.

not to make any excuses for the previous administration, because we all know that story, but how many extra staffers are in place under the Baker admin for Basketball then there was during the RV admin?  

Seems like there were games this year we had more people on and around the bench in a suit than in uniform.

Could the redesign have something to do with needing space for all the extra people?

It appears more like it's just not laid out the way either coach or WB wants it laid out. The article mentions head coach offices not being very big and the two programs sharing a hallway. Sounds like the coaches want it a little more separated between the two programs.

Sorry to tell you this, but merely being honest about RV’s tenure comes across as “negative”
