Reggie Theus would definitely ease the pain.

I also would not Hate the hire of Danny Kaspar.

Haven't seen his name come up yet.

All Danny Kaspar does is win. Was voted most athletic at North Texas and Mr. Mean Green in 77 &78. This has been his dream job He would bust his arse and not want to leave when other schools come calling. He should be given a chance if JJ ever leaves.

Reggie is looking for a high profile job. I don't think he'd be looking to take the lower profile job of the guy that just beat him out for LSU. Didn't he just turn down the Nebraska job?

If JJ leaves..... what coach in his right mind would not want this job. I'm not drunk on green Kool-Aid.

If you were a coach, would you consider a school that will have its top 7 scorers back on a team that won 18 games and whose big guns were freshmen?

Plus they signed a big rebounding, shot blocking center to go with a team that should make it to the big dance.

Plus they will add a transferring scorer (Patton) who should really give minutes and add depth & size.

This is not hard to sell. We should be able to get a really top notch coach.

If JJ leaves, he leaves us in the best position we could possibly be in.

I disagree...the snowball effect on this program from him being hired away could demolish the program.

Really depends on who the new coach is and what the new coach does in his 1st week on the job. I would think selling yourself to your current roster would be a high priority.

If he goes, why not interview Shawn Forest.

Heck of a recruiter for the DFW area.

Because RV is only gonna hire people with previous head coaching experience now.

I agree with you though.....

I would hope RV would realize that one formula doesn't work for every situation. Football and women's basketball needed a coach with previous head coaching experience because they were at the very bottom at the time of the hire and had been put there by coaches with no previous head coaching experience.

Forrest has been a big part of elevating this program and at least deserves an interview.

Come on, RV, don't be a typical administrator that tries to make the problem fit the fix. Have the fix fit the problem. At least give Forrest an interview.

      AAUP sends letter to university administration

      International students can have their visas revoked for different reasons, and this has been the case for a long time. Many of those reasons have nothing to do with what this letter alludes to. "It is currently unclear when and why their visas were revoked."

      UNT Basketball Hires Kwanza Johnson To Coaching Staff

      DENTON – First year UNT men’s basketball head coach Daniyal Robinson on Wednesday hired veteran coach Kwanza Johnson to his staff as an assistant coach. Johnson joins the Mean Green after two seasons on Robinson’s staff at Cleveland State and with over 25 years of division one coaching experience. In his coaching career Johnson has won eight conference championships, won seven NCAA Tournament games and recruited and mentored numerous NBA draft picks who have gone on to win multiple NBA championships and an Olympic Gold medal. During his two years at Cleveland State with Robinson, Johnson helped lead the Vikings to back-to-back 20-win seasons. In his second season in Cleveland the Vikings won 23 games, their most single season wins in 14 years. CSU finished second in the Horizon league regular season standings and made the championship game of the 2025 CBI. CSU earned 10 total Horizon All-Conference honors in Johnson’s two seasons with the Vikings, including two first team honors in Tristan Enaruna in 2024 and Tevin Smith in 2025. Cleveland State in 2025 ranked in the top two in the Horizon in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The Vikings won 13 straight games from Dec. 7, 2024 through Jan. 30, 2025, their longest win streak in over 28 years. Prior to his two years at Cleveland State, Johnson served on the staffs at California (2022-23), Tulsa (2019-22), Little Rock (2016-18), TCU (2013-16), Georgia (2009-13), Nevada (2006-09), Eastern Illinois (2005-06) and he got his coaching start at his alma mater Tulsa (1997-05) under Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Self. While at Georgia from 2009-13, Johnson mentored AP All-American Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who was the 2013 SEC Player of the Year. Caldwell-Pope was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the eighth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He is a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and the Denver Nuggets in 2023. During Johnson’s three-year tenure at Nevada from 2006-09, he coached eventual first round pick, three-time NBA champion and 2020 Olympic gold medalist JaVale McGee. In total so far, Johnson in his career has mentored nine players who have gone on to be drafted into the NBA: Luke Babbit, Caldwell-Pope, Nick Frazekas, Armon Johnson, Travis Leslie, McGee, Michael Ruffin, Ramon Sessions and Trey Thompkins. Johnson also coached current Oklahoma City Thunder Kenrich Williams while at TCU from 2013-16. Williams, whose number was retired by the Horned Frogs, wasn’t drafted but has played seven seasons in the NBA and in 2023 earned a veteran extension contract. Johnson got his coaching career started in 1997 on Bill Self’s first Golden Hurricane staff. Two years later, Johnson was part of the staff that led Tulsa to a historic 32-win season and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and finished the year ranked No. 18. An Oklahoma City native, Johnson played collegiately first at Rose State College where he was one of the top junior college players in Oklahoma. In 1993 he transferred to Tulsa to play for legendary head coach Tubby Smith. Johnson was a catalyst that ended the Golden Hurricane’s NCAA Tournament win drought as he led his team to two Missouri Valley Conference titles and to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances as its captain and all-league performer. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from TU in 1995 before adding a Juris Doctor degree from the TU College of Law in 1999. He and his wife, Kim, have three children: Kaitlyn, Kendall and Kalli. Kwanza Johnson Coaching Career Tulsa (1997-2005) Eastern Illinois (2005-06) Nevada (2006-09) Georgia (2009-13) TCU (2013-16) Little Rock (2016-18) Tulsa (2019-22) Regular season champ California (2022-23) Cleveland State (2023-25) North Texas (2025-present) For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu.

      We’re not alone

      I'm so sick of this narrative. how often do you really think Mid-Majors make the Sweet 16? Middies in the Sweet 16 2024 - San Diego St., Gonzaga* 2023 - Florida Atlantic, Princeton (15 seed) 2022 - St. Peter's (15 seed) 2021 - Oral Roberts (15 seed), Loyola-Chicago 2019 - Gonzaga* 2018 - Loyola-Chicago, Gonzaga* 2017 - Gonzaga* 2016 - Gonzaga* 2015 - Wichita State, Gonzaga* 2014 - Dayton, San Diego St. 2013 - Wichita State, LaSalle, Florida-Gulf Coast (15 seed) 2012 - Xavier (still in A-10 at the time) take Gonzaga out of the math and you're basically at 1 per year...with maybe extra qualifiers for Xavier and SDSU...so zero isn't really a statistical anomaly...basically '16, '17, '19 were all zeroes, pre NIL/portal. one tournament does not make a trend.
