The one thing you hear most often from people who come through El Paso is how hospitable everyone is here. Now, 3 Pitt football players can probably attest to that better than anyone before. The unlikely hero and source of that hospitality -- UTEP men's basketball head coach Joe Golding.
With Chris Beard suspended without pay and his coaching future up in the air, Rodney Terry could end up with a chance to lead Texas basketball this season.
Despite the fresh roster, Golding is still setting the bar high for this group, with the understanding that it might take time in the early part of the season.
The UTEP men's basketball team played their first secret scrimmage Saturday in Odessa against Tarleton State and the Miners defensive effort was the story.
