https://jobs.uri.edu/postings/3252 The Head Coach Job is posted! I was actually checking the URI postings for myself, lol. URI is very specific in their wording for positions. You'll notice that for #2 it says, "Demonstrated experience as a Division I Head Coach or five years minimum experienc...

Tough to be mad at Hurley with all the recruits (looking like they are) staying. I still think he's a traitor but thank GOD he didn't take our future. Good luck at UConn.... maybe MAYBE we'll root for you now I’m not so convinced all of the recruits would have followed him there even if he tried. I...

Here’s the starting lineup I’d love to see next year: PG - Dowtin SG - Fatts SF - Tate PF - Langevine C - Harris Or do you guys think it’s more likely we see a 3-guard lineup like this year? It’s fun even discussing the possibilities. Hurley who? This train will keep a rollin’! I like this starting...

Thorr wants to hire the next Hurley. So right now he's asking himself: is that the guy who has been his associate coach, has watched how he operates, has learned from him; or is that a guy who has a resume more like Dan's (Becker, Oats). After the interviews, he'll have the answer. Agree, BUT, two ...

URI'21

Pitino? Yes anyone would be foolish to say the guy can't coach and would probably be the only guy out there would be close to 100% to maintain and probably grow the program on the court. But of course there is his long history of problems and ethics. Doe URI want to go that route? We are almost 100...

URI'21

The Venn diagram of folks who think we shouldn't hire David Cox and the folks who haven't paid attention to this team recently is a single overlapping circle. Coming from one of the first on here to advocate for Pitino, I support a Cox hiring and if I were in charge he would get the job. But it is ...

URI'21

You guys are quick to be condescending towards anyone supporting Pitino, but how can you have this much faith in Cox? The man is a great recruiter who did great work for our program. But can you not see the risk in hiring a guy with ZERO cbb head coaching experience? Our program is in a great place ...

No matter when you leave, you always leave somebody. By URI'21's logic, every college coach has to stay at their first job until they're fired. You're straw-manning me. Hurley lied to us about staying if we showed our dedication to the basketball program. He also called his players true family, and...

URI'21

the reality of pitino (messes he leaves behind, the outcry on moral grounds, professor protest) This whole "rick pitino is a big meanie cheater who will ruin everything" argument is getting real old. What makes people think hiring Pitino will automatically, no questions asked, leave our p...

URI'21

Only thing, URI'21, is that a HC will always be leaving players behind if he every leaves for another job I think in this case he had his 5 Seniors (including his program building Medical Redshirt EC Mathews) to see through to graduation I kind of thought if he was going to leave in the next 5 year...

This is totally speculation. But I do agree that it is most likely he will be hired by a desperate program

ATPTourFan wrote: That's exactly what he did at Rhode Island. Players LOVE him. He LOVES them. They won together. These are facts.

So I guess he only loved his seniors? Because he's leaving Jeff, Cyril and Fatts behind. Looks like he loves the idea of UConn more than his self-proclaimed "family".

Wow, you guys actually believe in the unproven allegations around Pitino? I bet you also believe all that BS about OJ being guilty

URI'21

If Hurley leaves UConn we'll have to keep a running tally of lies he's told the program he's coaching: 1. St Benedicts - "I'm not looking to be a college coach" 2. Wagner - "It feels like home" 3. Rhody - "We're a Family" 4. UConn - "My dream job" Disclaimer: ...

URI'21

I would take Pitino as HC for 4 years with Cox as his assistant. Then Cox takes over. Of course if Cox isn't willing then that situation is a no-go. I'm sorry but controversial or not Pitino is a great basketball coach and a great recruiter. I think he would be a huge boost to our program. Somebody ...

URI'21

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're thankful for what DH did for our program.. but feel betrayed that he lied about accepting our contract if we showed dedication to the basketball program. And also that he called his players "family" and left them a week later. Oh well

My father is Bill Gates, and my family is totally on board with donating to a Dan Hurley fund!

We will be giving 10 million dollars for every NCAA tournament win that PC has gotten in the past two years.

I was accused of NOT being a URI fan because I rooted against PC during the season. May I now say that anybody rooting for PC today is not a URI fan?

Best posts I found on a Duke board:

HuffyJB said:
"RI is scrappy, physical, and they have a bunch of older guys."

DukeDenver replied:
"That’s why my daughter isn’t allowed in that state."

URI'21

encouraging stat from their board... My main concern for our offense is turnovers. URI's D turns over the opponent's offense 22.7% of the time, which is 5th best in the country. Since the start of conference play we've played 3 teams that collect better than 20% turnovers: Saint John's (loss), Virg...

Stan will definitely be guarding Carter. Do you guys agree?

Davidson needs to rebound and contest shots... and of course keep banging their threes. They have a shot to win this but it won't be easy

Hopefully Grayson Allen doesn't trip one of our guys

Also, due to both the start time being the first game of Round 1 and it being a game with Trae Young, EVERYONE will be watching. Great time to showcase who we are. Definitely.

I've seen New Mexico St. play a lot this year. They're a very interesting team. Undersized but they rebound very well and have 3 guards that can shoot and handle the ball. I also think San Diego St will handle Houston, especially if they shut down Man Bun. In that same region, I think Michigan can ...

What's Young's track record when it comes to committing fouls? I'd imagine he gets star treatment on the other end of the floor, but no reason we can't keep driving at him and have him pick up a few quick ones.
