I don’t care what we have to pay Coach Mac. Keep that man here at all costs. 

I too enjoy spending other people's money. Pay the man.

Whatever it takes. Hell, as much as I'm indifferent to basketball, I might even attend a game....or two.  I haven't attended a basketball game since I was in High School. And that was because I was in the pep band.

Also, there are other schools that can throw more money at Mac than we can. But if it were up to me, besides money, I would talk to him about his potential legacy.  You know, the house that "Mac" built.

Just guess’in but I think the only job Grant would leave UNT for is Baylor.
 These other pit stops you have 2 losing seasons & you are a goner.  
Not near as much pressure at UNT, so legacy is a worthy goal.  I think the only thing that could discourage any UNT varsity coach to stay is if Attendance doesn’t improve significantly. 
All our coaches understandably want larger crowds for their recruits to play in front of.  I think attendance wll improve if we can silence a pandemic & all our  varsity teams have 4 or more consecutive winning seasons.
 The last time we did 4 in a row in football was 1975, 1976, 1977, & 1978.

Basketball is just so much more of an even playing field. I wouldn't mind if they took some of the salary pool dedicated to football and gave it to basketball. Clearly looking at SL, a high salary doesn't equal results. That said, being able to pay Grant just over 1 million, say 1.2 million, would put us around lower power conference schools. Being able to fend off lower P5 schools would be great. I know people say he wouldn't leave unless for Baylor but let's be honest, if a school offered 2 million, more than 3 times his current salary, anybody would find that hard to pass on.

Agreed. One or two players can literally carry a team to the Dance. If we get alum to support it we need to get the NIL for men’s basketball.

Why not replace Littrell with Colby Carthel for McCasland’s $600k and pay McCasland Littrell’s $1.35M?

Pretty sure SL is currently in the 1.8 million range. You could pay Grant 1.3 mil and still pay a football coach over 1 million to go .500.

I also feel Grant believes he has a lot more to accomplish and build here. I don't think he's satisfied with just making it to the Round of 32.

At some point, people will notice North Texas Basketball.  It hasn’t happened after consecutive conference championships.  It hasn’t happened after the best conference start in program history and an 8 game win streak.  It hasn’t happened with the best coach in our history.  
 

Maybe it will happen.

Other things in our favor, Mac Is from the area. He came here to be near his dad. Plus he’s from Irving, we are built a little different. 
 

Secondly, his Alma mater doesn’t look like their coach is going anywhere anytime soon, so at least we don’t have worry about the Johnny Jones scenario again.

      Big dumb question.

      Contracts could be for one+ year(s). Employee status would bring tax questions into play. FICA and income taxes would be due .

      Do we still only play 7-8? 😝 This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production. Starters: Javion Hamlet Rubin Jones Aaron Scott Thomas Bell Zach Simmons Reserves: Ryan Woolridge Tylor Perry James Reese Brennon Lorient Abou Ousmane Too good to leave off: Deng Geu Kai Huntsberry Moulaye Sissoko Jason Edwards

      Big dumb question.

      Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player. Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.

      Build your team

      If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
