North Texas men’s basketball coach Tony Benford will enter the 2016-17 season in the final year of his contract after the school elected to retain him following a tough fourth season with the Mean Green.
UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal confirmed Tuesday that the school elected to retain Benford after Villarreal met with school president Neal Smatresk.
Villarreal said UNT decided to retain Benford partly because of the talented group of players who are set to return next season.
