re: Former North Texas head coach Tony Benford is expected to join LSU as an assistant
Posted by MeanGreen33 on 3/28/17 at 2:34 pm to 1999
Howdy folks, North Texas fan here. Just a couple quick things here...
Benford was a great recruiter, and as others have said, assistant coach. Even as a head coach he could always recruit. We just had an all-freshman conference USA player and have had several top-100 Texas recruits since he has been here. In many seasons, by ratings at least, he was a better recruiter than Jones. The problem was always x's and o's and strategy. Some head-scratchers included constant rotation of players to where none could get in a shooting rhythm. Don't get me wrong, he was an awful head coach. But, I have no doubt he'll do well for you guys as an assistant. It's where he belongs.
As far as Jones, most of us still love him. We were going to tourneys as little ol' North Texas, what's not to love. But, we are all ready to move on to bigger and better things. We are paying our new coach an awful lot, relatively speaking. Much more than JJ or Benford. He just took Arky State from a 10-win to 20-win team in one season. We are excited about what's to come, and wish both Benford and JJ the best.
