I think you hit it on the nose on #5. The Business climate is almost last in RI, thanks to many things like the powerful unions. If you try to run for office and go against the unions you never will win. It is the southern states with Right to Work laws that are more business-friendly that are movi...

We played like dog crap tonight, take the dub and move on! Do I love Cox? No not particularly, but do I want to see this program rebuild for another 2-3 years? No I do not. Coaches aren't lining up at our door trying to get a job. If we get rid of Cox there will be thread in 2-3 years fire Joe Schmo...

Cox knew if that even if he could have scheduled good P5 teams this year, he would be signing his own pink slip. That’s right. And just because you schedule a bunch of P5 teams does not mean you are going to beat them. So suppose Cox scheduled Arizona, Illinois, Florida State, Texas A&M and Min...

I want this team to contend for A10 title every year be able to make a run in the dance as well. But outside of Gonzaga what mid major has success year in year out?

FDshoes

Well, it does....kinda... completely? So cox and the staff can make crisp passes for the players on the court? They can play aggressive for them breaking the press? Come on man everyone can see what today's faults were. There is no way the entire staff wasn't trying to fix it. It's on the players. ...

Coach's responsibility to get them out of that. "Play more aggressive" "firm passes". In my yelling voice! Guaranteed Cox is trying to preach that it's now on the players to execute. A coach can only do so much you guys are clowns that think it falls on him and the staff. Well, ...

Lmao. Imagine thinking this is the coach to get it done. Would love a coaching search to start at the under 12.

The one against Watson was worse. Should have been offensive on Watson prior to even going up for the shot.

Pathetic ending to the half!! The Cox hating and the bad coaching take is getting a little old tho. Guaranteed he doesn't tell the guards to throw soft passes trying to break the press. Can he better yes absolutely but the players need to play smarter as well. Soft passes and not being confident pus...

That is a strong statement lol Yeah. "A real dogs shit performance would have to take place for PC to lose." PC is favored by only 5 points on their home court which gives 3 points just for the court. But what does the betting public know :roll: :roll: $4,000,000 CFL man who ducked last s...

BC stomping on ND today could eventually help the 2 dubs against them. ND currently has 4 loses but the other 3 are against strong opponents. And BC has been on a roll if they keep it up entering ACC and somehow, however unlikely, have a decent conference play record those 2 wins could mean somethin...

Just so I get this straight... 1) If you jump out to a big lead and then the other team comes back to narrow, then that's a complaint. (Coach didn't have them play 40 minutes. They made adjustments, we didn't.) 2) If you fall behind big early and then come back only to lose close game, then that's ...

So let me get this straight… We shot 51% from the field, 52% from 3, decrease in TOs to 13, had 10 steals and shot 16-19 FT, and we are still complaining after a win?! We knew all the wins wouldn’t all be pretty, but isn’t winning all we care about?! Help me understand. We have to shoot well to win...

FDshoes

While Fatts holds the steals record, I'd note that that's more trivia and a mildly impressive thing, vs. a sign of him being a John Linehan-like stopper. There are basically four guys clumped in the same range with 200+ steals - Fatts, Keith Cothran, Tom Garrick and Tyson Wheeler. I was 4 during Ga...

FD, Fatts had a pretty strong junior year, he definitely helped us more than hurt us. In 19-20, he played about 36 mins, averaged 18.8 pts, shot his best from 3pt (36%), 82%FT, and a team high 4.6 assists and 2.87 steals. Also that year 1st Team All A10 and All Defensive Team People will just compl...

Fatts not bad in opener. 25 mins, 12 pts (5-9), 4 assists, and didn't take any 3's. Wow Fatts not taking a single 3 pointer 🤔. Shocking how that is such a good idea!!

Kolek still did his last 2 years at a prep school not playing against RI HS competition. It's still impressive for a RI kid. There have been a few. Joey Mazulla was a very good player at WV. But RI basketball still blows in general.

FDshoes

Because North Kingstown as a public school is so much lower in talent than a Hendricken? Hendricken has produced a number of D1 players in recent years No N.Kingston has a good basketball program in RI and is close to the talent that Hendricken has. But that doesn't change my initial point that RI ...

A lot of people think we will be better next season without Fatts. Addition by subtraction so to speak. I'm not totally sure about that. Either way, I don't think it will be a big difference. With the same team coming back, with maybe another guard addition, we could be a little better. Not good en...
