I'll breathe a little easier when I wake up Monday morning and nothing has changed with Tony.

And, quite frankly, there's nothing anyone can say to me on the internet that will assure me before then.

what if there was a tweet from someone who had a locker next to tony's in middle school?

GROUND CONTROL...WE HAVE LIFT OFF! That was a great press conference...loved that he will be building this team around local players...hopefully, we'll no longer here that "local players don't want to play at UNT stuff any longer. HS coaches and past teammates in the room for the press conference. Guy showed a lot of poise and was brimming with excitement from what i could tell. Had to watch on the Mean Green Sports site in lieu of being present, but I think we have a home run in Tony Benford. just something about that guy and they way he said what he said that makes me think UNT is "good to go"! Yes, we all know the proof is in what happens on the court, but for DAY ONE I give it an A+.

Loved the fact that the first thing he did when he got to town was to meet with the players...what, about 9:30PM last night i think he said....great idea...and he said it was his idea. Good to see President Rawlins on site as well....

OK, let's get it on...Good things are happening at UNT these days...NEXT UP...announcement that UNT is joining the new CUSA Conference....

WELCOME COACH BENFORD.

Thank you RV and thank you President Rawlins....some great new HC hires going on at UNT these days....

When have we ever heard local guys don't want to play here?

Chris & Benford had an embraced hug beforehand

I counted 3 AAU coaches in the building

Foy was here , maybe he stays on?

Forrest Robinson wasn't here , might just have been at class

says something about him as a recruiter when area AAU coaches and High School coaches came to his press conference.

This is great news.

I watched Larry Brown's press conference and it was full of retirement home recruiters and funeral directors.

Here is some footage of the celebration at Moody afterwards.

I think he's a good, maybe great hire. He's not the most eloquent speaker, though. He's needs to bone up on his coaching speak.
