I guess my question is -- did we even try to keep him?  I could see him maybe going to a bigger program but state?  Something doesn't add up.

I had some thoughts along those lines too, but they did go to the Dance and they did have a good season. There is definitely some lipstick on that pig. Maybe he, or his family, just likes it out there. I looked up their staff out there; have they had a recent change? It shows Anwar as an Asst. and another guy as an Asst. that Miller may know well through his JUCO days. Just speculating and musing, no info.

Overall lateral move IMO. But he will be their top assistant. Ross Hodge is ours. He and Jareem were kind of tied (at least in salary they were). So theoretically puts him one step closer to the chair.

its a dry heat there....😎.  i guess we will hire a new assistant when the team gets back from Italy.

i have friends and relatives in the EL Paso/Las Cruces area and they talk about the heat in Denton.  I tell them EP and LC arent cool and all i get it is a dry heat.

Being from Denton and living in west Texas, there is a difference. Less humidity allows it to cool off at night and in the shade.

El Paso does not cool off that much, I remember driving home at midnight running over a million grasshoppers and see the billboard still at 100 degrees.  Only shade is man made shade.  Those sage bushes smell great when it rains but they dont throw off much shade.  Grew up there and work outside during the summers and it was hot at 7 am.

My old stomping grounds, the coast of SE Texas, summer months would see temps 100 deg., and 100% humidity.  How does that make you feel?

not good

In my opinion NMSU has a better BB program than UNT.

I’ll second that opinion,  ...for now.  

I reserve the right to change my mind at any time in 2019.

[southsideguy]

they have had more success at least the last five years but I feel a change is in the air

Well, yeah... still.   Until proven otherwise.    They were a 12-seed in last year's NCAA tourney with a 28-6 record.
