It ended up working out, but I thought the team got a huge break when LR missed both of the technical FT's. If they re-take the lead there I am not sure we win.

So are you contending that our coach's inability to control her temper at a crucial point in tonight's game may, while not tonight thank goodness, but in the future potentially cost this team the game?

I hope that situation never occurs, because it seems much of what makes Aston get the most out of her players is her fire. Anytime you have a high strung screamer on the sideline, I think that is a possibility though.

Did Bobby Knight's temper ever cost his teams games? Sure. That doesn't mean he wasn't one of the best ever though.

Oh, no doubt...I was unable to catch the game so I was simply asking for clarification.

I know personally, for comparison's sake, I've seen JJ take many a tech early in games...a few string of questionable calls and off comes the jacket, you know...but I can never recall his losing it in the waning moments of a tight game. That man is one composed, cool customer.

I think we would because the refs gave us the make up call at the other end that helped us extend the lead shortly afterwards. Aston brings a fire and spirit to our basketball court during games that her team seems to respond really well to. I hope she keeps it up.

John Brady and Kermit Davis eliminated their teams from last year's SBC tournament with 2 of the most ill-timed technical fouls I've ever seen. Davis had a bad one... Brady's was absolutely inexcusable.

Davis blew up at a ref over a foul call with under 5 minutes to play. Middle was within 4... Solomon Bozeman hit all 4 free throws (2 for the personal foul, 2 for the technical) and put the Trojans up by 8 points. Middle couldn't rally back (never got back within 6), UALR won by 9 points.

The night before, Brady did the same thing, but worse. 1:30 to play, ASU had fought back to cut an 8 point deficit to 2 points, then gets whistled for a non-shooting foul. Brady flips out at Joe Kleine, gets a technical. Takes what would have been a 2 point deficit and a chance to defend an inbound pass, and turns it into a 4 point deficit after Bozeman hits his 2 free throws. UALR also maintains possession, and milks the clock down to about a minute before dropping in a layup. Because of that technical, ASU wound up down by 6 with 1:03 to play. Cost them the game.

I was at the game. Kermit was yelling at one of his own players, and the ref Teed him up.

Thought it was a piss-poor call by the ref at that critical juncture of the game. Hopefully his new assistants will help him keep his cool (with the players and the refs) this season. I don't remember Kermit getting too many T's over the years, but that one hurt.

I also enjoy Coach A's post-game interviews. It is refreshing to hear the truth about the game, both good and bad. It gets old having the coaches say the same thing week end and week out, "we played (or will play) a good, talented team." This could be a team without any wins or a team with 10 wins....you get the same line each time. At least, with Coach A, you get a true picture of the game and the play of the team.

GMG Ladies....keep it up!

We had turned back every challenge to that point, no reason to think we would not have turned back that one.

DRC: Mean Green holds on to beat Trojans

Tamara Torru in reference to K Sue's technical and how the team responded to it afterwards.

“Coach fighting for us made us want to win all the more,” Torru said of Aston, who is in her first year at UNT. “She built us up.”

By the way, I didn't realize it till yesterday, but up and until the Tulane game North Texas was leading the nation in Biggest Turnarounds to that point in the season with a 7-2 record. We were just ahead of Oregon State, who is currently 9-2 with their only loss to us and St Mary's.

They hadn't retaken the lead in the 2nd half from what I recall. Just tied the game.

You are correct. But UNT has finished strong in every game after Oral Roberts, even in the disaster at Nicholls, with possible exception of UT; UALR is pretty good but is no UT. History and this team's character says it would have finished strong regardless.

Nice win by the Lady Raiders last night btw.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      It will take some time for the fans of these schools to adjust to losing a few games a year when they're in the new "P2" consisting of maybe 40 teams max. However, filling an average 80k stadium for maybe 20 games/wk is only about 1.5M people demanding tickets for each week's game. Out of over 300M people, I suspect they can still keep filling the stands, other than the few days of "dud" games or bad weather. Now, I'm not sure about TV ratings, but there's so many T-shirt fans of these top 40 schools that I think they'll still watch. I hope this greed and the extreme powering of the top few schools ends up biting them in the a$$, but I'm afraid they'll be successful. I don't mind them breaking away, I just wish they'd be forced to give up any relation to the school. Go create a stand-alone semi-pro league independent of the universities. I haven't followed pro sports in decades, but my quick check shows the Cowboys have been varying between 6-9 and 13-3 for the past 20 years with minimal playoff success but from what I hear, they have plenty of demand for tickets, even when they suck. I realize they are a somewhat special team, but then again, so are these P2 teams, so I think the comparison is reasonably legit.

      Lot of fun bowl games so far. Toledo vs Pitt last night was incredible. This was another great game as well.

      Portal QB Emmet Brown - San Jose St

      Think this is staff trying to balance the QB Room out Have a 1 year starter, plus solid backup, the back up plays Sr Year while Jimmerson is the back up. Then after a few years to develop Jimmerson is ready to rock. I think Jimmerson may win the job as a RS Freshman over this guy. But it provides you with some solid QB play for competition as well as depth.
