There are a lot of people who have said for years you can't win anything at UNT and you can't build anything of significance.  What Coach Burton and the ladies proved is that you absolutely can with the right coach.  Just like McCasland did with an NCAA tourney win and NIT championship.  It can be done here!   You just have to have the right coach.

For years we were told that Jalie was the best we could ever wish for and that without her we would be in big trouble.  Same with Coach Pete and Tina Slinker before him.

There are some on the football board that say we should give coach more time and I don't disagree but you can't just allow coaches 3-4-5 years to prove themselves anymore.

We need to up our budget across the board, but particularly in basketball.

According to this article we spent $3.5m

https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-north-texas/student-life/sports/

 

And this older article had us ranked around 130

https://www.three-man-weave.com/3mw/college-basketball-budgets-2022

 

The problem is we are well bellow the AAC's average budget of $5.5m. For reference Memphis' budget is $13.7m and USF's is $4.9m.

Definitely agree with you and @NorthTexasWeLove will 100% agree with you.

One silver lining is look at what we have accomplished on a shoestring budget!

I mean, I do think you need to give coaches a bit of time to get things established, but in the day of endless transfers, the leash is definitely shorter.  Not that someone can't completely turn it around in Year 1 (Burton just did it), but I don't think it's necessarily realistic to expect going from the basement to a title at the snap of a finger.

And USF did it, too.  Definitely not the norm, but wild it happened twice this season in the same conference

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.

      Imagine one man having the pull to make an entire website react to his every single move. Far from pathetic.

      Imagine being in a power conference and having a fan troll the website of a G5 that you don’t play and go to the website and troll all day…what an existence. Shoot me if I’m ever close to being that pathetic.

      Where are they now?

      Enjoyed reading this one because it doesn't seem to use the "fill in the blank" most use. Similar ideas but actually sounded as if it came from an unique individual. Hope he finds a good fit.
