Rumor on the Lamar board is that Tic Price is going to be an assistant to Coach Roccaforte at Lamar. Anyone heard that Price is leaving UNT?

That wouldn't surprise me. Coach Price is 4th in the pecking order of men's b-ball coaches at UNT. I'm sure that if Lamar offers him a #1 assistant position, it would be better for him than being our lowest paid assistant.

And someone at LU suggested it would be a "lateral" move for Price.

Isn't Billy Tubbs still AD at Lamar? I bet he keeps a pretty strong arm on what happens with basketball down there. Maybe Price just wants to get back closer to Louisiana by going there?

Do we really need a guy who had sex with a student and then paid her to keep quiet?

She didn't have to open her fat mouth.

On a serious side...she was 23. He was a douche for paying her 17K....it was consensual and both were well over the adult age limit. Hail to Tic Price....or maybe not :unsure:

It may have been legal, but it was unquestionably inapproriate. I say if Tic goes to Lamar, no big loss.

Losing Tic is no big deal, and the fact that the subject matter on this board about him is what it is and not his coaching abilities is reason enough that we say "best of luck" at your next stop. Not trying to to say anything negative about Tic...he did a good job while at UNT it seems to me....and he probably needs to move on and see if he can get a head coaching job again sometime, but UNT needs coaches whose "story line" does not include such items as Tic's "adventures"

Good luck Tic! I wish you luck!

      bad night. ECU loses bad...at home. RJ Felton goes 1-12 with 5 turnovers. could read that as a fluke, or maybe that ECU is pretty spare. High Point loses to UNC-Greensboro...who again, don't look awful...but a W would've helped our resume UTSA, down 14 at the half storms back to force OT against an infinitely better program. I'm gonna assume St. Mary just started coasting and let their guard down USF barely beats 1-7 Stetson Evanston lost. McNeese lost. AAC looking like a 1 bid league again.

      UTSA (3-3) in OT vs St Mary's (7-1)

      Even forcing overtime is something of a miracle.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.
