Follow the bouncing ball -- NBA's Dallas Mavericks to hold pre-season training camp at UNT Oct. 3-6

DENTON (UNT), Texas Fresh off their win as NBA Western Conference Champions and their first-ever appearance in the NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks will hold their training camp for the 2006-2007 season Oct. 3-6 (Tuesday-Friday) at the University of North Texas.

Morning practice sessions will be held at the Norval F. Pohl Student Recreation Center, located on North Texas Boulevard between Chestnut Street and Avenue D. Evening practice sessions will be held at the UNT Coliseum, at the southeast of North Texas Boulevard and Highland Street.

Practice sessions are not open to the public. To thank the university community for their hospitality, the Mavericks are holding a scrimmage at the UNT Coliseum at 5:00 pm on Oct. 6 (Friday). The scrimmage will be open to UNT students, faculty, and staff with a valid university ID. The scrimmage was moved up an hour so as not to conflict with the pre-Homecoming bonfire, scheduled for later that evening.

UNT head men's basketball coach Johnny Jones says, "We're excited about the opportunity to host the Mavericks on our UNT campus. It will be a great experience for our students to see the 2006 NBA Western Conference champions as they prepare for their upcoming season. We hope the energy and enthusiasm will carry over into the Mean Green basketball season."

UNT President Gretchen Bataille adds, "We are thrilled to play a major role in bringing Dallas Mavericks basketball to the UNT community and to Denton. We relish the opportunity to share our excitement with the Dallas Mavericks as they begin their quest for the NBA title. It's such a tremendous opportunity to showcase all that UNT has to offer."

Will the Rec Center be locked up while they're there, or do they just mean no one will be allowed into the court area. I mean, the walls are glass, and the second floor would offer a pretty good seat to watch.

How long is the scrimmage supposed to last?
