The death march continues. In all seriousness, I might only be back to the apartment for the end of the game, after listening to the football game I have a few things to do and probably won't get home till after halftime of this one. I'm not TRYING to avoid a pasting like last night.

Props to those that posted after I left.

Looking forward to listening to this one on the radio. Hoping something happens here... I want to know what would happen if Benford just rolled the ball out there and sat on the bench, or even let his assistant coach a single game. I want to know what the difference is.... If any...

This. I said this last season when people were saying it was the players fault for not learning the "system". What can it hurt to roll the ball out there and say go.

I am fine trying that now, but I will always give a coach a year. Benford had his and it's time to start winning

In basketball I do see some things from Benford.nhe is up a lot and yellowing shooter and I get that some people think that is stupid. That is his personality. I do not think he is like Johhny who would squat down near the end of the bench and watch the game for 5 minutes straight sometime. Benford is right there in action. Still a bit of a assistant coach/player mentality, but I can see that he is very involved.

The final score may be an indicator of his involvement.

This is why I am all for seeing what happens if he sits on the bench all game or let's an assistant run it. I want to see the difference. Until then it's so hard to determine what is going on. Roll the ball out there and let Alzee run the floor. The point guard is the coach on the floor anyway.

Point Guard is the General, Coach is still Commander in Chief.

Though, it is really hard to tell by the radio/gamecast if the low percentage shooting is by bad looks (which could be due to coaching) or if the men can't shoot (which isn't on the coach).

      Odom DC??

      It was the highest paid assistant position in all of G5. We're in DFW and its recruiting potential. We'll get looks. I haven't dug into who's available, though. I'm sure NIL budget would play into this, too, but I don't have any insight into that.

      I guess it depends on the DC. The LaTech guy may want to make the jumo to the AAC. Same for the Sam Houston DC. The Rice DC just had their HC fired.

      sure. so maybe it's just semantics, but nothing above equates to "elite" for me. both from the standpoint that "elite" is rarified company and too when we start using language like that the @untbowler's of the board will show up only after every loss to blame our deified coach and the AD that didn't go after Will Wade I guess. just trying to help keep ten toes on the ground for everyone and make sure the basketball conversation stays intelligent and not at all resembling the football forum.

      That just sounds like delusion to me. If the defense breaks into the top 80 next year statically, I will be very surprised. Of available job openings at this level will be low on list. I would much rather join a brand new staff with 2 years of stability guaranteed than come here.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hypocritical yes. Unfair? Because y'all were stupid enough to get caught repeatedly? Give me a break. Without the Penn State scandal this opinion had no basis in the reality of what happened to SMU. I will give y'all credit for trying. But again this thread being posted here is part of the big reason we are a Joke Program and NOT SMU's rival. I have never been more disgusted with our Program and we are waxing poetic about SMU while UTSA laps us. 🙄
