Texas A&m Cc Regrets Not Hiring Nt's Hank Dickinson.

[FirefightnRick]

Eventual hire, Teter, fired for NCAA violations.

The previous search now is an issue, with Teter accused by the NCAA of not reporting the ineligible status of two athletes. He also was accused of filing an inaccurate self-report, and filing that only when an A&M System audit prompted him to do so.

Former Islanders sports information director Craig Merriman confirmed the athletic department staff forwarded a recommendation to the search committee during the last search that finalist Hank Dickenson be hired. Dickenson, at North Texas, withdrew from consideration three days before Teter was hired, citing, among other things, the length of the search.

No doubt Hank would have done them a good job, and certainly a hell of a lot better than Teter. Their loss, our gain.

nice that is shows a cheating coach can always get a promotion. The Men's Tennis Coach knowlingly allows a player to play 3 years even though eligibility is in question and his punishment?? A promotion to the Aggies Head Coach.

TAMU-CC better watch out as they had another eligibility issue with a ladies tennis player in 2006-07 season who played pro tournaments and excepted winnings and was allowed to play. NCAA forced the player to sit 07-08 season as penalty.

You know, if I was them, I would. And if I am Hank, I would take it in a heartbeat. UNT doesn't pay Hank enough for all that he does.
