My days of souring on the HC are long behind me, they ended with Baron. I'll always root for Rhody to succeed no matter what, and with that, the HC, no matter what. If someone is going to mount a campaign against the URI head coach, no matter who the HC is, you'll have to look elsewhere. Life's too ...

I think we have a decent working knowledge re: coaches after about 3 decades of hanging around this program. Nice guy coaches tend to attract players but rarely get the most out of them. Hard asses have a bit more trouble sometimes attracting players but squeeze every last drop of juice from the rin...

Rod really got what he wanted in the Hurley hire, which was someone who was going to flat out crack the whip around here. He wanted someone who ran a tight ship. Hurley was still a young coach, but he fit the bill. That's why, when people started to sour on Hurley before those last two seasons, he t...

Note to self: walking away from the game does wonders for Rhody's performance. (I had to do some stuff around the house when it was 13-5 GMU.) That was me too. I think I have missed 4 games including this one for one reason or another. In the 4 games I have missed, Rhody is 4-0. If I don't watch th...

Ish doing that glue guy thing again. He's getting all Preston Murphy out there with his chances.

Coffee Talk. The absence of Makhi has greatly helped the development of Makhel out on the floor. They are both guilty of focusing too much on one another when they are both out there, which is what they are used to, but Makhel has really always followed Makhi's lead. Makhi's absence means Makhel has...

The development of Makhel to a true center is one of the best stories of the season. Makes things very interesting going forward.

At the expense of Tre Mitchell. Who had that one?

You know, someone had a picture of their dog in one of the seats courtside at Mullins. Made me think of Rod and that big mastiff he had.

Makhel is looking good against Tre so far. If he can keep that up, it will be an enormous factor

rhodyfan3000

Tre can put up 40, no problem. We need to use our depth that we have now at the position to constantly harass him. I don't think letting him live out there pressure free is the way to go, contest everything, make contact down low, get him upset.

rhodyfan3000

After what we witnessed with Tyrese, Carey gets a good long leash with me. At least he, when playing through mistakes, acknowledges that they are in fact mistakes. That alone is an improvement.

This was always going to be an odd season. But, if we play the rest of the way like we did today, and no mass exodus at the end of the year, then I will take that as the signs that this program is back on the upswing.

Yesterday I was doing an MRI on this lady a little bit older than me, and she said she wanted to listen to Air Supply. So, I put on their top 4 songs back to back during her scan.

The Sunshine Boys is what you get when you mix what is left over from the Beach Boys with what is left over from KC and Sunshine Band.

rhodyfan3000

At some point, maybe you say, start Shep and Ish and see what they can do at the beginning of the game together. Might see some better cohesion early on, set the tone of the game.

rhodyfan3000

There is no magic elixir. They are what they are. Very talented, but don't play like a cohesive unit. They just out athletic'ed the Bonnies, helter skelter style. They just need to get that little bit better each game, and not take any steps back

No, I am not. Never started a Pitino rumor in my life, I'm not a big fan of Pitino.

rhodyfan3000

I get you, blueram. The only problem with that is, you wait one or two more years, I think the odds go up dramatically of getting that payout, if you ax the coach instead after season number 4 "automatically" then you have to start all over, wait for the next guy to succeed or fail by year...

rhodyfan3000

So... Passionate fans, yes. Soothsayers on head coach's performances and ceilings, no. Not exactly. The problem with this fanbase is the mental beating they took from 19 years of Jim Baron Coach for Life. Instead of seeing a reasonable 4-5 year cycle of success and then turnover, which is what we co...

rhodyfan3000

There were many people on here who didn't want to give Hurley an extension, just prior to his last two seasons. This site was lit up with debates on whether it was time to pull the plug on the "Hurley Experiment", if they got their way, we would have never got that payout at the end, Hurle...

rhodyfan3000

Yep. I really don't care about the history so much. In the words of Pitino: "Dan Hurley ain't walking through that door" Dan was great while it lasted, but he left the wife and kids for the chick down the street with the new boob job and the Mercedes coupe two seater . And it's likely that...

rhodyfan3000

I understand the argument, but at the same time, Baron was given nearly 20 years to get that roster in order, and look what he left the next coach... Old Mother Hubbard. If DC were to leave after this year for another job, most of these guys on the current roster were transfers, he's leaving the cup...

rhodyfan3000

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I needed that. I compared DC to John Chaney a week ago, in reference to the "anyone, anyplace, anytime" OOC scheduling philosophy, and I still stand by that. Chaney would have been 3-4 right now too, except against Kentucky, UNC, and Florida. But, conside...

rhodyfan3000

If DC lands a bid in this truncated, messed up year, he's going to be awarded a heck of a lot more than an extension, don't worry. I'm not saying he would just fly out the door, but there would be offers.

rhodyfan3000

idk, I don't want to say the wrong thing and be labeled a DC apologist like last year, but I'm not sure you can shoe horn this crew into an identity. This team has a lot of talent, but they still trying to settle into an identity like pieces falling into place on a tetris game. As far as WKU goes, t...

AB is a monster, very much looking forward to seeing him play. He could very well be the missing piece to the puzzle.

Not surprised by the result, he went down hard. If he needs any sort of arthroscopic surgery, now would be the time to do it, in a freebee year. Could be worse, have to count your blessings on this one.

DC is like the new John Chaney. Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. Bring it.
