Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
When you think about it, an assistant coaching job at Rhody isn’t a bad gig for an ex-HC who just wants to work with/develop players, breakdown opponents, game plan, help out a buddy. You get to live near the ocean for a time, clear your head, eventually move up if an opportunity comes along, if th...

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
I was thinking Bruiser Flint might be a logical choice since he worked with Archie at IU. Unfortunately, Calipari apparently hired him as a special assistant at Arkansas.

Re: ‘22 RI PG Sebastian Thomas (URI ---> Albany ---> URI)
We will see how Bassy does with drives and pass out to hopefully open shooters. Of course, there could very well be less collapses on Bassy as his ability to finish with the bigger A10 inside players might be problematical. As for defense, a big deficiency for us last year was the lack of a rim prot...

He's still not a good shooter. He scored a lot of points last season despite shooting 43% from the floor ...

It is hard not to like Bassy’s attitude, desire to play for us -his hustle, his improvement, his ability to run through a wall for his team and the intangibles that he brings to the team. That being said, my question is where does he stand compared to the other A10 guards that we compete against. He...

Does the LOI serve any purpose anymore? What’s the point? It is a one way deal. The player can stay but still negotiate for a better deal elsewhere.
