Hayden Fry of basketball

Regardless of what happens tomorrow night. Grant has earned and secured his legacy as the best coach in UNT history. Hayden Fry left and went to Iowa but is still revered here in Denton. Go Mean Green!

Grant will definitely be in our Hall of Fame.  Just the turnaround from the Benford era was remarkable on it's own, but the continuity of winning with constantly changing players has been amazing.

Fry had the dual title of Football coach and AD.   I feel his legacy on NT Athletics was more about the overall modernizing and culture change he instilled as AD more than as just a coach.  He started the Mean Green nickname usage on logos and uniforms, changed the green, and attempted to elevate us into the SWC.  He had us believing we belonged with the Big schools!
