Just FYI, the Portland State disaster was 5 years ago today.

There was a investigation done by Argyle ISD that went no where because it was all bullsh*t. And bringing up the Baylor crap is bs. Grow up and think about if a guy who is trying to get back to being a d1 coach because of something out of his control and he had to leave would do this to jeopardize his career then you are outright disgusting and stupid.
Out of his control? He was suspended by the NCAA for his own actions.

I would want “evidence” hard evidence that proves he was “quilty” not just a teenager who wants mother F’ing attention.
I doubt they'd arrest him without evidence. it takes a big man to insult a teenage girl on the internet. People like you are why so many victims never come forward. Also, it's guilty and not quilty.

Not Tate. I have heard the exact story @TruthWinsis saying. This is nothing more than an anti Art Briles regime hit led by Brenda Tracy. The truth will eventually come to light.
if this was anyone else besides a member of Art Briles old staff this would have been over with when Argyle High School investigating came back with not a damn thing.
Except they've spent months investigating the claims and felt there was enough evidence to arrest him.

If you look at the seating chart, there are several sections of the lower bowl that are general admission seating.

Add in his previous NCAA violations and it's obvious he should have been gone a long time ago. We pay our coaches too much to accept this garbage.

Bullshit. Players need to step up also. Getting really tired of hearing how it's ok from them to sit out, transfer, etc., but then it should be someone else's responsibility to get them motivated to play?
It's the responsibility of the extremely well compensated coaches to you know actually coach. That means they need to motivate their players. The coaches are the ones calling the plays. The coaches are the ones recruiting the players. The buck stops with the coaches.

Another Chris Beard trivia tidbit, he coached Chris Jones after he transferred to Angelo State.

I hope he continues to give money to the University of North Texas. And, I hope he continues to help bring in a variety of speakers to the Kuehne Speaker Series, even if the hippies don't like all the speakers. After all, mama says, variety is the spice of life.
Variety of speakers? I feel like they've all been on one side of the spectrum thus far.

I hear 'ya! I've been wondering about the team travel schedule and whether they will go to Albuquerque a day early, just to help get acclimated. That seems a prudent thing to do.
I think they're leaving today.

The ugly. $38 bucks to market soccer. I'm guess that was some facebook ads to hype a game.
Exactly. They should be spending more money on their most reliable program.

There’s no getting around paying good money for good facilities. Facilities that players want to play in, facilities that alumni want to come to. If colleges want to spend on better facilities, with a plan to pay them off, it doesn’t vex me much.
They also failed to mention that the University needed the land where Fouts is still partially standing so it benefitted everyone when we built Apogee and the new track facility.

How do we know Stacy Martin actually declined an interview? We already know the NT Daily either lied or are incompetent. Why should we believe them about this?
That's an excellent question and a solid possibility. If she didn't decline the interview, I hope Wren makes sure to call them out on their lie. He's done a really good of responding to this article already.

They had a rough start to the season which is understandable with how many seniors they lost. I'm glad they kept battling and ended strong.

I'm not making any comment on the validity of the NT Daily's reporting (in this article or any others) but Wren might need to have a chat with his CFO, especially if he suggested the reporter talk to her specifically.
This article is misleading & was written without visiting with the athletic department CFO (as suggested) who would have helped you understand so you could write something accurate & factual. We value student journalism & are always willing to help you get the story correct.
#GMGHi Wren, after initially interviewing you, the reporters sought someone who might have more information on the situation. However, your CFO Stacy Martin was contacted but declined to give an interview.

It is just as likely that the story was driven by a lawyer, as it came out with little substance over a year later. This actually happens more often than you'd think, and it gives the appearance that the school is hiding something because they are not actually allowed to talk about the student.
This is an unfortunate situation all around, but with out hearing the other side of things you are just speculating here.
It's not speculation that Coach Anwar's potential involvement wasn't mentioned by the school or any of the news stories before last week's WFAA story, almost two years later. He was already fired when the story originally broke so who knows why it wasn't public information before now.

One can really wonder, particularly in a lost season, as was the one when this happened. I mean everybody could see the writing on the wall, that this coaching staff (and most players with it) would be gone a few months later anyway. No reason to protect anybody from scrutiny on the admin side. That said, If I understood correctly the police did not immediately do a rape-kit. Why that is, is somewhat baffling to me. I however do not think that this points to a cover-up problem, but it does pose the question of incompetence or neglicence.
I do however to some degree wonder if this happened partially because players and coaches also knew that season was a lost situation on which everyone had given up, so some with the least moral resources gave in to their worst character traits. The other part of me thinks that Benford just did not have a good grasp of the character of the folks he hired and recruited or of how to establish a culture of accountability that would improve their character or at least keep bad traits in check. I think that was his primary problem to begin with, and also caused part of his on-the-court problems. In any case, I still wish WB had not "evaluated" so long, and cut bait earlier.
I think most of this may be more a question or negligence and not a blatant cover up but I do wish they'd made the information about Coach Anwar public at the time. His current employer might wish that too. I think the coaches were actually already all fired by the time the accusations were made.
The only positive to WB taking the year to evaluate the basketball program is that we got Coach McCasland. If we'd been looking earlier, he may not have been available or on the radar. Other than that reason, I definitely wish we'd cut bait much earlier.

Plus all of this was old coach, and old administration.
Old coach, current administration. The hiring of Benford and most of his tenure was under the old administration but his last year, and the year this all supposedly occurred, was during the first year of our current administration. It doesn't mean they did anything wrong. I don't have enough to try and make that call. I'm just stating the fact of who was in charge of Athletics when this all went down.

I wish we'd looked better offensively last night but I'm going to choose to be grateful for the defensive play and how far this team has come since Coach McCasland arrived. It wasn't that long ago that we had Coach Benford looking like he didn't know what we was doing and a team that, despite talented players, would barely squeak out wins to cupcake teams.

I'm no legal expert but when a grand jury doesn't take it to trial then there apparently isn't much there.
"A WFAA review, however, found UNT failed to speak to suspects for weeks, and key evidence was not secured. Even a link to a member of the coaching staff was not disclosed publicly."
There could have been enough evidence but perhaps the investigation wasn't handled properly. It's sadly pretty common for sexual assault allegations to not lead to actual charges.

What more is there to investigate?
How the University handled the victim's complaints. Also, they could possibly do more investigating into the assistant coach's role in all of this. Just my guess.

True but I understand why the victim felt like she should have at least had the opportunity to talk to them.

This is gonna be bad. They spent a month doing this. They will want more than one 10 minute report out of it.
I just hope Smatresk really did dot all the Is. And I get why the victim doesn't feel like justice really happened (although the expectation of what a university can/should do may be unrealistic, it still feels like several people were insensitive at best). That will make this easy emotional media fodder.
According to the story, the University told the victim to work with campus police only and not Denton police so if they can't handle the investigation they should have handed it over to another authority.

I'd take interim head coach Patrick Cobbs over what we have now. At least he actually cares about the program.
