[UNTDude]

Watching #13 LaSalle put a 1st half whooping on #3 KSU. Announcers made mention to LaSalle head coach John Giannini educational past at UNT. Master's in sports psychology from UNT. Also read he was an assistant coach at UNT in the early 80's.

Great info !!

I'm guessing he coach here for just 1 year? 1986 ?

Nah. He took 8 years to even make it to the NIT. He's never finished higher than 5th in his conference. 9 games below .500 at LaSalle going into this year. No regular season championships, no tournament championships. 0-15 against ranked teams coming into this season.

You'd have wanted him fired 6 years ago.

I suddenly don't think I want him at UNT no more.

He'd never get us over whatever hump was next on the horizon.

At a minimum he got them to the sweet 16 ......Huge upset today.

Now I'm suddenly pissed UNT let him get away again.

Seriously, he's awesome. Typical North Texas... I bet we didn't even try to interview him.

This is why we're stuck in the Sun Belt.
