Benford was considered one of the top assistant coaches in the country before taking the job at UNT. He worked as the associate head coach at Marquette under Buzz Williams for four years. He also worked as an assistant at Nebraska (2006-08), Arizona State (1998-06) and New Mexico (1992-98).
Benford took over a UNT program at its pinnacle after Jones left for LSU heading into the 2012-13 season, but was unable to maintain its momentum.
