I liked the PA announcer we had during the Baron days. He brought an intensity to the game and made those rivalry home games a lot better.

Agree with Smarty and 15. While they had lots of faults 95% of their issues were not physical or talent related. They are entirely attitude and effort related. For bigs they have good ball skills, good footwork and good hands. Those things aren't gimmes with 6'10" guys especially not the ones ...

The Mitchells did not play a style that was conducive to winning basketball games. Selfish offense, bad fouls, empty stats.

Not Mike Powell

I’m happily wrong. Excited for our program!

Not Mike Powell

Yup we don’t want to put all our eggs in one basket any splash hire we’ll due Agreed. A splash hire is the most important thing. No, it's absolutely not. A GOOD hire is the most important thing. A splashy hire could turn into a massive disappointment. A good, boring hire could turn into a perennial...

Lol. I don’t think any URI players were cashing in on NIL deals.

Chris Mack was an assistant under Sean Miller. Thad Matta had already built Xavier into a National power and Sean Miller took over from Matta and continued the rise of the program . Chris Mack inherited an established program from Miller . Miller had won 3 A 10 titles and had 4 NCAA appearances bef...

Overqualified for URI. 3 Final Four appearances. National Coach of the Year. Someone on this board will think he’s not good enough.

If we can't get any big name/splash hire, I'm not sure I have a favorite among the names that have been mentioned. I wouldn't dismiss Becker, but admittedly I don't know anything 1st hand about the issues at Vermont. Thorr probably has 1, 2 or 3 guys in mind that have not been mentioned hear or any...

Here’s a name that just hit me (I have no inside knowledge so I’m pulling this out of my arse). What about Brad Steven’s? Maybe he wants back into college coaching? This is the first year I haven’t heard his name being suggested for a job. Would be a brilliant career choice for him to leave as GM o...

Not Mike Powell

I can't imagine a new HC wanting an alum, future HC AND fan favorite as an assistant unless he viewed the URI job as a stepping stone I do not like Becker. While I like Grasso, I don't think URI wants to poach Bryant's coach. I want a coach on his way up who has fire in his belly. I'm OK with Luke ...

Not Mike Powell

You get some experience at a lower level first. Being an A10 head coach is not an entry level job. oh stop. lets not pretend we're something special here. we're bottom of the barrel of a 1 bid league. I am not pretending we are anything more then we are. So prove me wrong...provide a list of coache...

re: Jimmy Baron... Obv, I'm not advocating to go hire JB for a the HC position, but this is the fucking problem today in all sectors of life and real world work. how is one supposedly 'no experience', supposed to get some, when no one gives you a chance? dude played D1 hoops, 12 years pro and is st...

Not Mike Powell

Experience. Jimmy played 12 years professionally in the 2nd best basketball league in the world. Literally raised by a head coach. I think he would know a thing or two about coaching basketball. What are we waiting for? Does he need to coach in the NEC for 3 years before he’s worthy of this job? He’...

Not Mike Powell

Ah, I thought it was preposterous bringing up a “High School Shooting Coach” in Jimmy Baron.

Not Mike Powell

Truly a great year from start to finish. We’ll miss the second fastest coach to achieve 58 wins in their first 100 games.

I bet people in this thread wouldn’t want Drew Valentine at Loyola Chicago because he doesn’t have enough Head Coaching experience.

Not Mike Powell

Tom Crean can coach and probably would be very successful here. I am sure he can close on some high-profile recruits. Only issue is many feel he comes across a little arrogant and are turned off. Compared to DH? I would be thrilled if we can land him and that would be considered a splash hire for u...

Not Mike Powell

Thanks! Archie Miller sure is realistic for this program. More realistic than 3/4 of the names you listed. In fairness - 3/4 of that list would take the Rhody job in a heartbeat because they haven’t done anything to deserve the job. I don’t think Thorr will go with another assistant without any HC ...

Lmao. This list is wild. Yes - guy with a show cause, high school shooting coach, mid-level assistants, and a low level assistant NBA coach who was born in RI and got arrested for fighting a cop a few years back. But yeah, your credibility is solid to say that we aren't getting Archie. That list sp...

Eh, I don't think we got screwed in 2010. We started 19-3, 7-2 in conference and were sitting pretty. Including the A10 tourney, we ended the season 5-6, with a record of 23-9. We were 38th in RPI - which was the metric used at the time. One of the highest of all time left out of the field. Despite...

We should make a serious inquiry to Steve Lavin. Tom Crean would also be great at the A10 level if let go from Georgia. Think Big.

Not Mike Powell

Sure, I'd take him, but I also think that if he wants to get back into coaching again, he probably doesn't have to "settle" for the mid-major level. He was last seen at St. John's, getting them to the NCAA tournament twice in five years. He took seven years off after UCLA to take the St. ...

You cannot play two 7 footers at the same time in modern basketball. They clog up the lane and make it nearly impossible for anyone on the team to drive to the basket. They cause terrible spacing on the floor.

Let’s have some realistic expectations of who would even want to coach here. News flash, it’s not going to be Chris Mack, Archie Miller, or any Power 5 coach. We hired Dan Hurley after two successful years at WAGNER. That hire turned out to be a home run eventually, but there were many times in the ...
