Narduzzi is worth a try.

Hal Kopp

URI buses only went up with enough gas for one way trip,unless final spread was under 45.
They are dropping the team off at Bridgton Academy until spring time.

Hal Kopp

Or Denny Kapstein? The HS coach?

Hal Kopp

Who is Danny Kapstein?

Hal Kopp

OK,here we go,candidates for next coach @ Rhody: KC Keeler (told by reliable source he is interested) ex Delaware HC 1 Natl. championship. Pete Rossamando (New Haven) Reggie Barlow (Alabama State) Pat Narduzzi (Mich. St.) Bob Chesney (Assumption) Todd Vasey (Dean JC) Tom Masella (Wagner asst.) Brian...

Hal Kopp

Need 6 mens and 8 womens sports to stay D1. A complaint by URI are the travel costs with the secondary sports in the spread out A-10. If it gets to the point FB is dropped,keep just enough schollies to balance Title 1X with Mens BB. Go non-schollie with the rest. The schollies (when not winning) are...

Hal Kopp

RF , yes,am saying that if it gets to the point FB is dropped. All sports including conference alignment need to be dropped or downsized significantly,if not going to NCAA 's once every four years. One of the university's complaints are travel costs in the A10. At that point,no reason to be sending ...

Hal Kopp

Rambone,look at Bob Griffins yearly records from 78-85 and the # of all conference players. RF1-I agree,any sport not going to NCAA's once every four years or drawing needs to go. If it gets to that point. I do not see the point to keep six sports who cost $1M combined (probably way off) who are not...

Hal Kopp

At least one more coaching staff. If FB goes,every team not going to NCAA's at least once every four years and not drawing needs to go with it. Hockey and Lacrosse do not draw,no sense in bringing them on.

Hal Kopp

OK,here we go again.
1. Allegedly,Stowers liked the offices above Keaney. If true,that affected no change.
2. Aren't there empty rooms in the Ryan Ctr. (so I am told) ?? If yes,move the FB offices there.

Somone please answer # 2.

Hal Kopp

The responsible thing is to stay in school. Going back to Michigan is just going to hurt himself and the team (both short and long term).

Hal Kopp

Hare needs to be on the team now,not the 2nd semester.
It is not a country club.

Hal Kopp

This should be in another forum,under fantasies.

Hal Kopp

http://www.gorhody.com/sports/m-baskbl/2013-14/releases/20131104q532wz Does anyone here who has direct TV know if OSN is on their programming nationally,also I believe SNY is on their tier-correct? Let me know as these things are tough to decipher? I don't watch a lot of these college BB,so need to ...

Hal Kopp

Hare is gone. Can end the anticipation right now. Sad to say.

Hal Kopp

Brendan Malone stunk and Hare is not coming back any time soon,per my source.

Hal Kopp

Trainer was headed to Bowling Green as DC under Clawson. Told Rhody officials that if anything opened in future,keep him in mind. What I remember at time,is there was some urgency (hindsight deems unnecessary),continuity (one yr.?) and Trainer was cheap? Same mistake as extending Stowers,hiring Floy...

Hal Kopp

LaJohn jones could be candidate. Along with Steve Stoehr and Billy Mccagney. keith Kenyon also.
They would not accept this.
The Delaware game was winnable. I was there.
You could watch a Rhody game with your eyes closed and recite the script.

Hal Kopp

Obram-good stuff, game day atmosphere is fine,area,location,etc..
It is as much deferred maintenance as anything.
I think the field looks bad,particularly given the fact the university is affiliated with turf and landscape management ?

Hal Kopp

The only thing I can say about these attendance figures-is OMG!
Any sport not drawing needs to be reconsidered.

Hal Kopp

RF3-right on.

Hal Kopp

2000 people for a hockey game??
Not generally against. But,based on attendance,this could be tough sell.

Hal Kopp

Yes,10K +.

Hal Kopp

Bos8-good review. A fan who like me is able to see the forest thru the trees.
I will be there next week.

Hal Kopp

Bos8-Spot on-the attendance has always been good,particularly in light of the W-L record.
Start winning and that is 15,000 people.

Hal Kopp

aren't there empty rooms in the Ryan Center ?

Hal Kopp

There are a ton of coaches who could turn this around who would come out of the woodwork.

Hal Kopp

Peavey finally got in at QB.
His stats looked pretty good.
Any one watch him play?

Hal Kopp

http://www.independentri.com/independen ... 2a675.html

At least the team and coaches get the drift of their poor play.
Really something of a mathematic marvel that they can't do anything about it.

Hal Kopp

I heard the play calling and QB play stunk again?
In a non-league game ???

Hal Kopp

Paul Lewis was AA TB @ BU in '84.

Hal Kopp

Narduzzi does not like RI kids (most don't),comes across as bitter to me.
From reliable sources.
Good coach though.
I can't see it.
We need a rising star HC.
No more big ten assts..

Hal Kopp

Think Chesney's good-check out Rossamundos record at New Haven.
A lot of good coaches locally. Rhody just gets the wrong ones (plus contract extensions).

Hal Kopp

Chesney is the coach at Assumption ?

Hal Kopp

Kc Keeler
Paul pasqualani
Don Brown
mark Whipple
Pete rossamundo
The coach at Dean JC
The coach at assumption (used to be at Salve)
Joe Gilmartin (NK HC) undefeated.

This just off top of my head.

Hal Kopp

Coach Pas lives in Charlestown (Quonnie).
Uri needs to put him and KC Keeler on short list in case Trainer has another losing season.

Hal Kopp

URI's budget is the ProJo's favorite target.
They should address (more) how URI faculaty,admins. and coaches get paid in comparison to their peers.

Hal Kopp

I don't see any way Trainer sticks around after this year.

Hal Kopp

Offline- not being mean-spirited or facetious,but can you see where it is easy to lose count ??
Hate to say this,but if they sputter tomorrow and does not make a change at QB,the AD needs to step in.

Hal Kopp

Proust stunk in 2011.
He loved to try and force the ball.

Hal Kopp

How is women's bb any different from the bulk of programs at Rhody?

Hal Kopp

Inglese has a great gig. Like most of the uri coaches. Long term,good pay,no results.
How are the other fall teams doing this year?

Hal Kopp

Bentsen has regressed.
Much better player 2 years ago.
Bentsen is not a D1 QB.
Was told this out of HS and again by observers of last weeks game.

Hal Kopp

My god offline,you are correct. I mean 1-4. They go up there 2-3,they can beat Brown and go 3-3.

Hal Kopp

They go 1-3,there is no way they go up to Brown and win.

Hal Kopp

Online,there may be something to that.

Hal Kopp

This is a must win.

Hal Kopp

You guys make some great points.
Rhody has not had legit CAA RB since Ferrer-4 yrs. ago. They are a dime a dozen.
Play calling is cure for insomnia.
Need a change at QB for a spark/chance.

Hal Kopp

Albany is one of the most up and coming FB programs in FCS.
RHODY has been trending in the other direction.
Any one who take this win for granted is mistaken.

Hal Kopp

Facilities are an excuse. Anyone seen Fordham's?
There are a lot of good FB players out there.
