Do we know how long he's expected to be out?  Thanks!

Is there some State or Federal Law, maybe Hipaa, that prohibits a UNT Head Coach from disclosing an injury status on injured players to the fans who follow and care about the team?

HIPAA is only about healthcare providers disclosing personal health information. The HC is not a medical doctor, so we are good here. It is personal choice to not disclose.

And a wise one.  Fans should care more about their team maintaining every advantage possible rather than coddled expectations.  It doesn't give the team any competitive advantage to share injury information publicly for their opponents to see.

Yep, these closed and guarded practices have really made a big difference.

Sorry, I was being facetious. I thought singling our “UNT” Head Coach was the giveaway.

edit: but on the real, so many people are throwing out "but muh hipaa" for all sorts of wild ass stuff lately, it is hard to read sarcasm when it is so obviously sarcasm.... because day to day has become so tedious with absurdity. GMG.

Agree. Sad that our Head  Coach lacks the confidence and coaching skills necessary to win without using these amateurish tactics.

I don't get the entitlement.  As a fan, I want to see us win on Saturdays.  Sure it'd be fun to be able to go see a practice and comforting to know if Bush will be back soon, but I'll forego those comforts and entertainments to maintain what advantages are available to us on Saturdays.  Are we winning enough games?  No.  Does that mean opening practice and sharing injury info will improve that?  Definitely not.

I'd be interested to know what % of FBS schools have open practice (which is a different issue, btw than the original post).  My guess is it's not a very high percent.  These tactics are very common.  Even at the HS level, coaches will switch jersey numbers on kids in scrimmages, or even blank jerseys, and certainly conceal their practices.  This isn't a new thing.  What precedent was set for you guys in the past that open practice should be thing?  I only got to NT in 2005 so I'm not sure what practices before my time were like, but I know in my football experience this isn't uncommon at all.

He can use whatever tactics he wants if they are winning him games.

What SL is currently doing ain't working, and I don't believe injury information is the difference here.

I agree but at an extent. Unless it’s a season ending injury, I don’t think it should be said until near game day. Now practice wise, it should be open.

SL doesn't like to discuss injury details of his players.

Why would you tell your opponents about an injury to one of your players? Let them practice like we are at full strength.  As for those of us who bleed Green, well we'll find out on Saturday.  Fly Like An Eagle!

Tommy Bush is listed on the depth chart for UAB....so there's that.

Deonte Simpson has been listed as a starter for both games to date.  He has played in neither.

      Why should we care much about high school recruits anymore? I would focus on recruiting Sun Belt/CUSA, D2, D3, JUCO and NAIA STUDS. Guys who have proven themselves at a higher level. Along with some P4 drop downs who have also gotten reps but have suffered a setback and are looking for an opportunity to make an impact. There is no reason to develop a high school player anymore. If a high school player is ready to step on the field and compete NOW, let’s get him. Until the rules change or our NIL gets to a level where we can hang on to good guys for multiple seasons (which will probably be never) then team-building is year-to-year proposition. Get the guys who have reps at higher levels and have spent time in college weight programs. We will get poached by the schools higher in the current food chain than us, we need to be doing the same to the schools below us. That is just how it is right now and if we can properly identify and acquire that available talent, we can win. Both of our basketball teams have successfully done this.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      "Wilson's firing marks the sixth job to open in the AAC (along with those at Charlotte, Rice, Temple, East Carolina and FAU). Tulsa, Charlotte and FAU fired their coaches before the finish of their second seasons, a sign that the expected length of coaching tenures in the Group of 5 is shortening." Here is the ESPN article about the AAC and G5 trend... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42581760/sources-tulsa-firing-kevin-wilson-latest-blowout-loss

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.
