What on Earth? That’s a downgrade for Hunter?

I think it's an upgrade. Same conference and North Texas has been a perennial top 75 team under McCasland and Hodge. Much bigger school too.

Tulane’s Ron Hunter replacing him at North Texas

Pump the brakes? I may have been duped last night. Not seeing anything confirmed on Twitter anymore. Hmm…

Not really. In one sense, it's lateral (both AAC), but UNT have outperformed Tulane (per KenPom) by a great distance for at least the past six seasons. It has to be easier to recruit to a school near DFW than it is to Tulane, whose facilities are underwhelming, including a gym that seats fewer than 4K fans. UNT is a large state university (40K students), while Tulane is a great academic institution that is at a disadvantage as a private school in attracting basketball talent.

I believe Van Exel wants to be an assistant GM not a coach.

Ha. I guess I misread that one.
