DRC: McCasland was a hot commodity this spring in college basketball. He's still at UNT. Here's why.

Special, indeed.

I think the world of Grant and I think he runs a clean program that we can all be proud of.  I just surprised we not seeing some sought after players coming here.   Grant is special coach who gets everything out of his players.

Great article! We are lucky to have such a great coach who sees a vision and isn’t just looking to jump at a big pay day

I think the players that come in have to want to be coached hard and the want to to play defense.  Unfortunately I believe that weeds quite a few of the AAU wonders out of the mix

I read a coach quote recently that said, "Players these days want to be praised, not coached."

There's a bit of old-man-yells-at-cloud vibe in it, but also a heavy dose of truth.

What ever he is doing, it is working.

GMac, and apparently his family, just seem like good peeps. I’m a fan…not just because of the UNT ties.  GMG!

May he be our own Coach K.

For sure. Unique opportunity to see a program through a change of conference. It also puts pressure on Baker to not head into a new conference rebuilding with a new coach. Consistency at the helm will be key to continuing success through this.

Or, as we like to say over on the football side, "WTF".

Wren just didn't want to be on the hook for two new head coaches heading into the AAC. We'll immediately be competitive in basketball and I'm looking forward to seeing Grant lead us there

I want to cry but all I can do is laugh knowing I chose this life.

His dad is awesome, sat next to us at the La Tech game in Ruston this year. His entire family is just so likable.

Fantastic family
