If Gene Hackman could play a game with four guys and still win a championship, why can't Tony Benford?

You can't argue with results, people.

[CMJ]

I wonder if team policies is code for "not as good as I hoped for."

[forevereagle]

Should Flash be worried?

If this were happening anywhere else it'd be hilarious.

Hey, it always sucks to lose a big east caliber center.

Maybe Tyler JC has an available post? Pipeline is wide open...

[meangreenacct]

This opens the door for another player to be named most improved prior to the season!!!

...and then subsequently do little to confirm that preseason optimism.

/sigh

[Army of Dad]

What rule or regulation did he break? Coming back for a third year?

[BillySee58]

CJ, TJ, Mo, Jordan, and Voss. Just roll the 5 out there and hope for the best. Jordan is our best rebounder anyways.

[untbowler]

kind of hard to play when you are trespassed from Campus, good riddance.

[KRAM1]

Public records are always interesting.

[H-towngreen]

Public records are always interesting.

I see he got a warning for trespassing, but not major criminal activity here. Was this just Benford waiting for a reason???

Our chances for the 2015 Elite 8 have been seriously diminished.

[Green Mean]

Why isn't UNT parting ways with Tony Benford?

[Andrew]

We all new it was coming. Hopefully we just get a decent JUCO big and move forward. Post play could t get a lot worse so potentially this is an improvement.

[Green P1]

DAMN YOU JOHN ODUH

[UNT90]

Does anyone in our AD or administration give 2 S%£¥ about this basketball program?

Anyone?

This is an embarrassment beyond epic proportions.

Maybe someday a certain donor will wake the F up and understand that his little buddy is destroying this program.

Another year of not knowing players names, and really not caring.

[UNT90]

We can't even be honest about the true reason he was let go.

Amazing.

[UNT90]

DAMN YOU JOHN ODUH

Definitely not the answer.

You're right that post play couldn't get a lot worse. But even then, it's hard to see it getting better by adding guys with no other offers.

We're probably better off getting another wing type player and having Voss, Ahmed, Flannigan, Greg Wesley, Jeremy Combs, and Jordan Williams be our posts. The only one of them over 6'7" is Flannigan, but getting a big man who looks lost on the court just to get a big man won't help.

We should just play with four guards, a small forward, and do the VCU Havoc press.

I said that at the start of the year when I thought Flanigan might be a decent player. We will definitely be more athletic next year.

Fortunately we have Jordan Williams, who's a guard on offense and also 6'6" and our best rebounder. He can be a mismatch on offense and still hold his own on defense. Unfortunately he's gone after this year and we need Benford to replace him. Edited April 10, 2014 by BillySee58
