UNT Basketball Hires Deshon Parker As Assistant Coach
DENTON – UNT men’s basketball head coach Daniyal Robinson hired on Friday Deshon Parker as an assistant coach to his first Mean Green staff. Parker, who was a standout player for Robinson at Cleveland State, comes to North Texas after being on Robinson’s coaching staff last season at his alma mater CSU where he was the youngest DI assistant coach in the nation. Last year at Cleveland State, Parker helped lead the Vikings to a 23-win season, which was the program’s most single season wins in 14 years. CSU finished second in the Horizon league standings and was the 2025 CBI runner up. Parker was instrumental in Cleveland State earning nine all-conference honors that season. A tremendous defensive player himself, Parker was critical in the development of two Vikings players earning Horizon All-Defensive Team honors in 2025. Parker joined Robinson’s Cleveland State staff in 2024 after playing one professional season in the country of Georgia for BC Sokhumi in the Georgian Superliga. That season he made the Georgian Superliga First Team honor as he averaged 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. He is a 2023 graduate of Cleveland State. As a senior for the Vikings, Parker played for Robinson who was in his first season as CSU’s head coach. Parker helped lead the Vikings that year to 21 wins and were the runner ups in the 2023 Horizon Conference Tournament. As a senior Parker averaged 9.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Parker was voted at the end of the year to the Horizon All-Defensive team. In total Parker played in 150 collegiate games and made 126 starts. He scored 1,004 career points, had 481 career assists and 409 career rebounds. A native of Huber Heights, Ohio, Parker graduated from Wayne High School in 2018. He led the Warriors as a senior to a 26-2 overall record and to the Division I OHSAA state quarterfinals where they lost to eventual state champion Archbishop Moeller. Parker has five siblings. His older brother Demond played collegiately at DII Cedarville and is on the men’s basketball staff at Florida Atlantic.

Harris/Brown Transferring
The lawmakers? Do you mean Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court? And good luck arguing your point on anything that isn’t football or hoops at Power Schools. -

We may have seen the glory days of UNT basketball
We have been in a situation like that... In 2023, we had the best NET ranking ever to not make the NCAAT field... that means brands were getting the nod over us. We then went on to win the NIT.
