Benford denies cursing at Arkansas State coach

Harry · February 5, 2013

Brady said at his postgame news conference that he believed Benford acted
inappropriately.

“I’m certainly not going to let someone in our building curse at me, which he
did, and anybody sitting at the scorer’s table will verify that,” Brady said.

Benford disputed Brady’s version of the events.

“What he said is false,” Benford said. “I never cursed him. I have been doing
this for 22 years and always act professionally.”

UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal has reviewed the situation and said he
would take appropriate action.

Bro. Technically you've been doing "this" for < 1 years.

You can't even prove he's been doing it that long.

Whatever "this" is this season it needs to stop.

He probably just offered Brady some tea and motor oil cookies... after he cussed at him.

Not sure why anybody would believe Brady over anyone.

Hopefully he went totally off the wall and there's a moral's clause in his contract.

I think the appropriate action is to make a change at head basketball coach...

What's the big deal? According to Bad Lip Reading, he said "Funky! Oooo!" and that would be a typical reaction to observing some of the stAte fans in attendance in Jonesboro.

Great.

Now, if only Benford hadn't "led" this team to a 3-10 conference record and a loss to a d2 school with one of the most talented rosters (according to Benford) in school history.

BigDanTeague · February 8, 2013

So believe Brady because Benford is 3-10?

Green P1 · February 8, 2013

So believe Brady because Benford is 3-10?

UNT90 · February 8, 2013

So believe Brady because Benford is 3-10?

No, fire Benford because he is a terrible coach.

Who gives a crap abour Bradygate.

He started to cuss at him, but he didn't say the word long enough.

Well the good thing is, NT has ASU for this season's last home game. This should make for some colorful signs and some good heckling, assuming there are enough people there to do it.
