"North Texas: Tony Benford – Of all the new coaches taking over jobs this season, Benford might have had the most disappointing. With future pro Tony Mitchell leading the way, North Texas had expectations coming into the season – yet the Mean Green struggled with injuries en route to a 12-19 (7-13 in the Sun Belt) campaign. HOT SEAT INDEX: 4"

Edit: Meant to post this in the basketball forum if a mod can move it please.

The fact that his hot seat index is only 4 is disgraceful. I think it's fair to say that he would have already been fired at most mid-major schools.

You know, I've been thinking about something lately: I read a lot of opinions on this board that advocate avoiding "negativity." I actually think that utter complacency, even when facing the most dramatic and shocking disappointment, is the ultimate demonstration of negativity. To me, accepting the results of this basketball season and blindly, based on zero evidence whatsoever, assuming that next year will be much better, is the definition of negativity, even defeatism. This line of thinking assumes that we have no ability to improve to even a passable level and should just smile, gladly swallow whatever poison we're given, and then say "thank you" by opening up our wallets.

Positivity is declaring that we can and will be a serious, highly competitive Division I program and that any coach completely unable to accomplish this should be removed immediately.

Yeah, because we have that other guy who rebounds and blocks shots.

Mitchell went from a proposed 1st round draft choice last year to a 2nd team Sun Belt Conference player this year. He needs to play another year in college to improve his NBA profile,but he certainly won't accomplish that under Bedford.Just my opinion.

I agree on all of that. But we need him, even if just at a 2nd team level.

The point is that he doesn't need us. He went from pre-season 2nd team All American and perhaps a 1st round NBA draft choice to 2nd team all conference in the Belt. Another year with Bedford and he will be forgotten by NBA, if he hasn't been already. Too bad,as it looked like he had a bright future.

      Exactly. Seems like every couple years another successful FCS school makes the leap to FBS yet fans on this board keep trying to push the idea it would be worth dropping to FCS if we could compete for championships. Silliness.

      Easy answer is Coach Hardaway not to get silly fouls. She rarely fouls out anyway so this should be an easy adjustment. I will say this, Hardaway may be one of the best if not the best point guards and ball handlers in the conference.

      UNT HEAD COACH’S HUSBAND SAVES A LIFE AT DETROIT LIONS GAME

      UNT Head Coach Brittany Roth’s husband, Ben Roth, and their daughter were in the right place at the right time on Sunday December 22nd, and Roth was able to briefly save a life. Brittany Roth has been the head coach at UNT since 2017 and Ben Roth is a paramedic and firefighter in Plano. They hold season tickets to the Lions games, and Ben Roth told a Detroit Newspaper they try to make “four to five games a year as a family.” At the game on December 22nd between the Lions and the Bears, Ben and their daughter were sitting in club seats he described as “As close as you can be without actually being on the field.” That was when he noticed someone in a North Texas shirt, which was shocking as neither the Lions nor the Bears are based anywhere near Denton, Texas, the location of UNT.

      RB for 2025??????

      He reminds a little of Lance. Cowboys would line him up in the backfield then shift to slot. No linebacker could cover him.
