You mean the winningest Coach we have at the moment...that John Hedlund?  And, it is his off season...well, the end of it anyway, so Wren did wait until the end of the season to evaluate Coach Hedlund

Sad thing is, RV can make these statements because there is a zero percent chance HIS job is in jeopardy for making this terrible hire. He should be kissing Mac and the football seniors square on the

What really SUCKS is the highlight of this basketball season is the firing of Benford. You think it is tough on us can you imagine being a player? Thanks to them for their effort!

The more I look at things objectively, RV really should be on the hot seat. And that's being favorable to him.

Between Benford, Peterson, and even football with the way he has handled OOC scheduling. By bringing Benford back and allowing him to handle this next signing class of 7 spots, RV should be tying himself to Benford and the men's program. If Benford messes up this signing class, with the last couple JJ signees leaving after next year, the program will be completely on RV and Benny. If that ends in disaster they should both be fired. I'm terrified at the idea of RV hiring our first manager for baseball.

But RV opened up space for tailgating before games so he is the smartest AD we have ever had...(sarcasm inserted)

Again, RV looks great compared to what we had before because he literally jumped over a curb-sized hurdle to make things better here from where they were. Seriously, looking at RV compared to Helwig is comparing a Ford Focus to a bicycle. Is the car faster than the bike? Of course, but we have people here who want us to believe that RV is a BMW...

If you don't have a binder and have some experience, don't bother applying.

I do have a binder and I've never even coached Little League!

I hope you guys will be nice to me when I am the new Women's Equestrian coach.

Does anyone know how score is even kept in this game? Is there an NCAA Equestrian for Dummies series?

Why do you care how it's scored? Get a job at UNT and they'll let you learn on the job for 3 years at least.

A Ford Focus is a fantastic vehicle. It's a real chick magnet!!

Wow. It was three years ago, and everybody knew that this was more than likely a failed experiment. I still wonder why Wren hasn't pulled the plug. Money and the texas hiring ban are the only reasons that seem potentially relevant. But honestly they don't seem relevant enough to me.

he is not going anywhere until after the season is over.  If Wren has not done my now it won't happen , if it does happen, until the season is over.  I guess wren needs to take some more notes at the game and evaluate his findings.

I know he isn't getting fired. You are right, if it was going to happen, it would have happened already. Still, I wonder why it didn't happen.

Pictures...French maid, German Shepherd, etc.

My theory is that it involved giving TB a shot, doing a critical evaluation through "basketball eyes/ears", availability of the target replacement, and other timing factors. They will let the season/contract run and notify TB (if they haven't already) that the contract will not be renewed/extended. JMHO.

WB said before the season that he would evaluate after the season. If I were to guess, he plans to keep his word on that. He has probably already made a decision, but doesn't want to back track on what he said before.

It didn't take him an entire year to decide to extend Hedlund...

Unbelievably, at this point Benford will never actually be "fired". He's obviously going to finish out the season, and complete his contract. 

So, he's never getting fired. He's just not getting retained. 

Two ADs, zero winning seasons, and somehow the guy never gets fired.

And it will not have taken a year to decide to let Benford walk. Maybe I am just confused, but I thought that the soccer season is over and Hedlund would have been evaluated after the season.

There was quite a bit of gnashing of teeth about RV lying, so I thought it would be refreshing to see an AD that actually did what he said he would do.

Not being extended is just as bad as being fired, in my opinion.

WB never said anything about Hedlund like what he said about Benford though. I'll bet the decision to extend him came after the season was over.

When do they announce that benford will not be given an extension to his contract?

After the season is over.

      High Point looks to be a real tough (under the radar) test. We should be prepared for that.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
