Steve Wojciechowski. Hearing rumblings.

Dark horse candidate: Brett Campbell of St. Charles High School in Waldorf, MD. He is a URI alum, and has built a powerhouse at a new-build public school in short order. Would likely only command around 1m/year.

Let’s fire one former Dan assistant and hire another one. What could possibly go wrong. So your argument is since Cox failed, Murray would also fail because they both worked under Hurley. And all sons of coaches will succeed as coaches. Anything else we should know? And your argument is since 6 of ...

What about MATT MCMAHON at Murray State Breakdown of Matt McMahon’s contract: $500,000 total annual salary -$395,000 in base salary -$105,000 in private funds/multimedia/ticket sales/fundraising Incentives: $15,000 bonus to win OVC tournament or at-large bid in NCAA $10,000 bonus for OVC regular se...

I think that, after today’s loss, anyone that was still holding on to the notion that Rhody can get hot in the A10 tournament can and should let go of it. Those that are planning to go to DC had better prepare to arrive on Wednesday. And be ready to leave that night. As you mentioned earlier we are...

Yes, it was an improvement and a bright spot in a bad game. Hopefully is a start of a better stretch for him and he should have been in at the end. But if that performance gets you excited your standards have been seriously lowered by this mess. The season was over long before this game... The most...

I agree with most of what Blue Man is getting at. Except: "The big donors should've committed with or without Hurley." The University as a whole has been a low rent operation since I first set foot on campus (approx. 20 years). Why should anyone dump money into this? Would you? Bring back ...

No thanks. Prefer someone with DC/Philly ties. Way better fit for us.

This is a game where we could've used a veteran like Jermaine Harris. Washington Post POY over Saddiq Bey. People forget.

It is a basketball School, no question, but that doesn’t mean you can only use the funds generated by the men’s team solely on the improvement of the men’s team. Other student athletics deserve better than what URI currently provides them! (The baseball team plays on a great field but in a terrible...

Who the hell cares about Gonzaga? Why not just say "we strive for tournament success every year."

adam914 wrote:Cox talked about maybe some more pressing on defense to push the tempo because they want to play more up tempo on offense and get more possessions. I like the sound of that.

For a team that lacks a pure shooting threat, I love his goal of "more possessions."

Correct. In fact, the denial makes it more likely they'll seek to profit elsewhere.

I'm the same age as Adams, and it's just a fact that anyone using their phone that much isn't interested in what's going on around them. Sorry that observing and pointing out a lack of interest is considered too mean for your liking. For comparison, I saw Tate at one of our home games, and he did t...

SnooterMagoo

I'm just nitpicking to comfort myself about losing Adams, but whenever I saw him at Rhody games or on TV at away games he was ALWAYS staring at his phone and not paying any attention. Never seemed interested in the game. We want guys that are itching to play and can't wait to bring the intensity He...

SnooterMagoo

a bit of hyperbole, but would you rather hire Chris Mack/Brad Stevens/Shaka Smart/Archie Miller or Jim Baron? A bit? You guys do know that no one has the foggiest idea of whether Cox will be good, bad, indifferent. Same with Dooley. Everyone is just fitting their facts to support an opinion. All yo...

I know. I figured I'd combine the two.
I'm guessing that Ashley's mom did the same.

Maybe one day he'll get the Butler gig.

"While URI basketball fans want to cheer in a vacuum, one of the reasons why successful coaches leave is the overall condition and performance of the program." You have to be kidding me. This is the type of commentary that should be in a fan blog or something. Any "news" related ...

SnooterMagoo

Why would golocal risk that? Risk what? Being called out in an individual capacity for not vetting sources (or making up stories whole cloth, though I prefer to give the benefit of that doubt)? Is that worse than perpetuating a general perception that all of the stories may or may not be accurate?

Didn't stay in RI after graduation so I'd never read GoLocalProv until yesterday. Unimpressed. Why do none of their sports pieces have a real byline naming the author?

UCONN is paying the price for suing the ACC. And as Billy Joel would say.... " and probably will be for life.. ." If I'm at a bar and the guy next to me is "making love" to his gin and tonic, I think I probably just take off. Free drinks from John is great and all, but you have ...

For those incensed at the 2-2.5 week hiring period for our next head coach, it could be worse...

Imagine just punting the hire for an entire season. That is pretty low rent. Should do wonders for Shore's recruiting.

In a perfect world I would like to see the top non P5 non football programs get together to create another BE style BB league. Of course that would include us. They would have the fan and administrative support, and the facilities to attract a large enough audience to get a lucrative TV contract. O...

For all you Nate Oates fans he is basically a less tested version of clues who is 100% offense over D! Shut up with your Iona nonsense. First of all Oats has actually won a game in the tournament, Cluess hasn't. Second of all Oats' teams are significantly better on defense than Cluess. In 2015-6 it...

I love everything about Fatts game. When he gets hot behind the 3-point line and is feeling it ... When he's hounding the player he's guarding and comes up with a crucial steal ... When he drives through the lane and dishes off a no- look pass ... When he takes the ball to the hoop and somehow mana...

Not sure if it's been discussed, but does David Cox go by "Dave" in conversation?

If he does not, would anyone else share my reservations about hiring such a weirdo? That'd be a major red flag. Psycho stuff.

The "14 and 6" may itself be an embellishment.
