Skerry!

[Iggy1979]

On the list of assistants ... Pat Sellers would be a good hire for URI or someone. Got completely screwed at UConn ... and then Hofstra turned into a nightmare. Good guy, good coach.

[Bos8]

Pat Clarke also on that list.
Scott Spinelli also on the list. Wasn't he someone who was mentioned early on when we fired Baron?

[Iggy1979]

wow. How did Pat Clarke make it ahead of Kevin Clark, Preston Murphy, Jim Carr ....

[Keaney.Blue]

The list is a joke if Pat Clarke is on it. Great guy, but a pedestrian coach and an awful judge of talent.

Blake Vedder and Frank Monge, among others.

[RF1]

wow. How did Pat Clarke make it ahead of Kevin Clark, Preston Murphy, Jim Carr ....

Clarke is on a list we don't want any of our assistant coaches on:

RANKING OF THE TOP 40 ASSISTANT COACHES AT THE MID-TO-LOW DIVISION I LEVEL
(Must be an assistant coach at a school not in one of the top 10 conferences at the Division I level)

[rambone 78]

That explains that.

[reef]

Dave Rice # 1 ?? That list just lost all credibility with me now

[Rhody72]

When URI reaches the point where we have a highly rated coach who will stay here, then that will be something.

[Running Ram]

we currently have a highly rated coach contracted through 2019-2020, one whom turned down a contract worth 67% more per year in his home state to stay at Rhody. What more do you want clown 72?

[bressler3south]

Uhhhhhhhh, Dan Hurley…..Is that you? Are you still here??? Could you give Rhody72 a call and REMIND HIM THAT TOM CARMODY HAS MOVED ON!!!!!!!! Thanks.

[rodfromcranston]

'72 used to be one of my favorite posters.
Now, he's just sour. Wonder what changed?

[bigappleram]

nothing's changed, he has always been the obvious internet contrarian who likes to hear himself blabber and always tries to represent the minority opinion.....you are just now losing faith? sorry he lost me when he critiqued the form of one of the best foul shooters in NCAA history. but of course he will point to his keen eye for things, and the rest of us are just...what is it rumpswabs? hahahaha

72 if you have good seats at the Ryan you should donate them to someone who supports the program.

[Bos8]

When 72 typed that post, he was leaning to far over the keyboard.

Say it aint so Rhody 72 !!!!!

University of Rhode Island basketball coach Danny Hurley did not receive an increase in salary, despite signing an extension two weeks ago. However, the new deal comes with a wealth of additional perks.

In addition to having his contract term extended an additional two years through 2020, Hurley also secured additional program benefits. Among them:

An additional $25,000 in a salary pool for support staff (now totaling $400,000)
4 air charter flights for the team during each season
Renovations for team offices that must begin by June 15 and completed by August 30
All remaining annual funds from URI's booster club, if the club ends the fiscal year with a positive balance (money must be used for "the advancement of the team")
A new graduate assistant position for a member of the strength and conditioning staff.
A regular table of food for the team, at the Ryan Center, with a menu approved by Hurley.
The new deal also stipulates that Hurley will receive $300,000 if he's terminated prior to April of 2014, $250,000 prior to April 2016, $150,000 prior to April 2017, and $75,000 prior to April 2018. Once Hurley reaches each milestone date, his severance compensation decreases.

The new contract also contains an interesting stipulation regarding apparel supplier Adidas. In the contract, the university agrees to use all efforts to remove the team's obligations with the company. And all future apparel and footwear supplier agreements with the men's basketball team must be approved by Hurley.

The deal was signed on April 11 and was completed following multiple reports that Hurley was offered the head coaching job at Rutgers. When asked by NBC 10 if he was officially offered that job, Hurley avoided the question and stated that his focus remains on URI.

Hurley's current contract calls for a base salary of $300,000 per year, with an additional $300,000 guaranteed via gate receipts and other benefits. All told, if Hurley hits all of the performance-based incentives in the deal, the value of his original contract was $700,000 to $800,000 per year.

NBC 10 obtained a copy of Hurley's new contract, through a Freedom of Information Act request.
