That was a nice win last night against SMU and coach Larry Brown. I hope they can at least make a game going into the forth quarter. Go UH!

Great. Can UH get a real coach now? The James Dickey hire was a joke from the start. I would like to be able to see some quality college hoops sometime in person.

would be amazing but he would definitely leave in a few years. At this point, though, I guess I shouldn't worry that far ahead.
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...dickey-steps-coach-houston-cougars?src=mobile Sources close to Sampson told ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman that he misses the college game and is interested in the opening. One holdup, though, could be compensation.
Shaka Smart's compensation package is $1.5 mill a year. UH ain't paying a coach that much or I will be the most shocked cougar on the planet.
