I just read that he held two hour practices....................... on game day. I just don't have words to explain what little sense that makes.

The guy had a system that worked in College Station and El Paso. I don't know why it failed in Kentucky.

I was such a BG homer. I am sorry it didn't work out for him.

I think it was partially the types of folks you get to Kentucky. At UTEP and even A&M he got more of lunchpail guys, who might be more open for that sorta Basic Training stuff. His early season training program at A&M was pretty legendary(or notorious) actually. I remember several articles of the hell he put Acie Law and company thru.

I also thought he'd be successful in Kentucky. I think a number of things prevented him from being a good fit there. But i do think he'll go somewhere else and win.

Kentucky had 13 losses this season, the most in school history. How many did JJ have this year, last year, the year before that, all three of his 20 win seasons. Different programs, different standards.

      Who am I?

      Fb Family I am UNT HISTORY! UNT BASKETBALL HISTORY! Basketball has been played at UNT Since 1916 And No One, Red,Yellow,Black,White Or Brown. Has EVER Accomplish What I Have Done In The History Of UNT Basketball And There Have Been Some Great Players. To Play Basketball Before Me, With Me And After Me. Fb Family I Am The ONLY Player To Hold ALL The First Place Slots In Any Basketball Category At The Same Time. I Held That Honor In The REBOUND CATEGORY. Most rebounds in a game by a freshman 20 . Most rebounds in a game 29. Most rebounds in a game played in the Super Pit 29. Most rebounds in a season 411. Most rebounds in a career1,095. NATION(NCAA)LEADING REBOUNDER 14.7 No One Else In UNT Basketball HISTORY Has EVER LEAD The NATION Before Or After Me In Any Basketball Category. Footnote: In season 2011-2012 my most rebounds by a freshman was broken by Tony Mitchell. But Records Are Meant Too Be Broken. So Using The Hook Of One The Great Basketball Player. That Played Before Me And I Had The Pleasure To Meet Mr. Jim Mudd. IT'S CLEAR AS MUDD That I Am UNT HISTORY. I would like too say thank you to Coach Charles Malone for asking me as a sophomore in high-school to try out for the Basketball team. It goes without saying! A Big Thank you goes to my high school basketball Coach and friend Coach Jimmy Gales. For Telling Me To JUST GET THE REBOUND. Thank you to all the fans that came out to support and cheer on the Mean Green Basketball Team. No Matter What The Weather Was Like Saving The BEST For Last. My Parents Mr. and Mrs. Rayford Williams For Allowing Me To Follow This Basketball Journey To The End. Ok, kinda obvious, Kenneth Williams. Ken and I, along with Charles McMillian, are Facebook friends. He is a character and is mostly modest. He posted this to his page 2-3 days ago along with some photo's and news articles. He's attended a few UNT football and basketball games. What's funny about this post is a game I recalled him playing in high school. Coach Gales wasn't much on X's and O's. Coach was upset with a run by the other team. He jumped up and called timeout immediately. When Ken and the team came over, he didn't say a word other than "Rebound" to Ken. Anyway, thought I'd share. Carry on

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      If you look at Memphis' winningest, most impactful coaches, it looks like winning their conference mattered. I look at Calipari: he dominated CUSA for at least 3 or 4 years, winning both regular season and tournament titles in that incredible run 2 E8s, a S16, and a national-runner up. I believe it was absolutely important to him that they take every game seriously. That's going to be a big reason why Cal and the Tigers did what they did from 2005-2009, and why Penny and Co isn't going to get there.
