Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23

Wheeler wouldn’t get $2m as URI HC. He’d probably be lucky to get $750k as a first time head coach here.

But I’m getting ahead of myself…

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23

Again,

The only way you get Wheeler here is as HC. I mean why would he?

I wish it was possible but Miller isn’t going to turn up the temperature on his own potential hot seat.

Stop with the Wheeler fantasy. PM fantasy too.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25

Yeah I didn’t dig Bassy’s game either but he’s local, had some good moments and was eager to improve. I didn’t see him hurting us going forward coming off the bench but Miller wanted to move on. BlueMan continued obsession with bashing him is pretty weird no doubt. I’m very interested in following t...

Re: Who is Archie Miller?

If Miller is the Miller we thought we hired retaining Hammond should be a slam dunk.

Hammond had to have been clear Johnson would be looking to get back to a higher D1 position.

If URI doesn’t retain this player it will be a warning sign.
