One ACC coach said it best. When a player receives any critical feedback or faces some type of adversity, they look to bolt to another program, which helps neither the player or the program. Of course. These guys have had their asses kissed by the AAU/shoe company pimps for years. Until they get to...

Wow very interesting, probably a nice pay raise going from UMass into the big east
Probably includes a nice allowance for pomade.

Fun guy. Point guard on Maryland's Final Four team coached by Lefty Driesell in the early 70s. When we played Maryland in the 1979 NIT, we were down two at the end of either the first or second overtime (worst nicotine fit I ever had). Kraft let him draw up a trick play he learned from Lefty. Our in...

We would have won the '99 game against Charlotte in regulation had St. Daddy-o the Great not gotten T'd for one of his trademark meltdowns.

The mental hospital has a long history of overlooking criminal offenses of its players, going all the way back to Marvin (Tire Iron) Barnes and Mladen (Five-finger Bargain) Filipan in the early 1970s.

Do you know that Claude English was named coach of the year in his first year after taking over for Jack Kraft, who had to leave after 1 game? We went 21-8 that year. Unfortunately, the following year we went 10-17, despite still having all-time great Pappy Owens and Marc Upshaw. The 2 season after...

For amusement sake I heard this from my barber last night who is a big PC guy. Several connected season ticket holders have claimed to him that Cooley got pulled over just before the losing streak started with his side piece in the car. Wife found out about it and gave him the ultimatum "Eithe...

Not surprising to URI fans who have followed him for years

I'm sure one former coach is surprised.

It's going to be hard for the league in its current composition to return to the halcyon days of four to six bids every year. The league is too bloated, and given the NET formula (whatever it may be) the bottom half of the league will always drag down the top half.

I don't believe for a second that Dan stays here. He was always going to Uconn. Hard to find loyal coaches in this day and age. I thought Cooley was one of the good ones, but even he bailed. Don't really see why he would lie on the most popular sports podcast in America and say he wanted to come ba...

You have 1 roster built predominantly thru development and continuity in FAU. SDSU and UConn’s were built similarly with a mix of development/continuity and Portalpalooza. And Miami’s built with the Benjamin’s from Johnny Ruiz. Since we don’t have a Johnny I’m thinking a mix of continuity and porta...

Sure, they can be angry and call him out for how/what he did - tell him he's no longer welcome in Providence and boo him into the shadow realm when GT comes to town. I encourage that. But to amplify unverified rumors and targeting his family members just hurts innocent people. I would expect nothin...

Fit is so impt. That is the part that Cooley has mastered. Targeting not necessarily the most talented or the guy with the biggest stats but guys that fit together and compliment each other. It’s really important. "Fit" was part of Al Skinner's genius. He knew how to mix in guys like Chad...

And THAT is why the Cartel wants to hog all the at-large berth to themselves, and why obvious nepotism hire Dan Gavitt has the committee pit the hoi polloi against the riffraff.

There's nothing that Dodg'em Cooley could say that would stop the chatter. It won't stop until Georgetown hires someone else.
