Terrell had two big 3's at the end of the Nebraska game, and EC's three against Cincy.scine20 wrote:Let's be honest. Baron did way more in his first 5 years with the school than Hurley has. And he hasn't had a year that even approached Baron's 2nd year with the school.
Here's a question. Has any player in the 5 years that Hurley has been with the school made a big shot? Yeah I know Biruta won a game with a lucky tip in but I'm thinking winning or tying a game at the end with a fairly deep outside shot? It seems like it's always a late game miss and half the time the shots are forced because the team is disorganized and thus are rushing shots.
Under Baron you had guys like Dawan Robinson, Dustin Hellenga, Marquis Jones, both of his sons who I can remember hitting game winners or game tying shots. Whenever URI has a tight game at the end I pretty much know what the outcome will be. I'd like to see Jared Terrell become the go-to guy at the end. I feel like he's the type of guy that can make that big shot. I don't feel that way about the rest of them.
I'd love to see Hurley's record with URI in games decided by 5 points or less.
was gonna mention Terrel's 2 3 pointers to open up OT against Nebraska.Rhody15 wrote:Terrell had two big 3's at the end of the Nebraska game, and EC's three against Cincy.scine20 wrote:Let's be honest.

I honestly cannot think of any others off the top of my head.

Yeah in every close win you'll generally have a big shot or two. I'm thinking more time winding down, you need a basket to win or go to OT. It seems like in those situations the story ends the same way.Rhody15 wrote:Terrell had two big 3's at the end of the Nebraska game, and EC's three against Cincy.scine20 wrote:Let's be honest.

Not sure how the masses can continue to defend. They actually could still make something of a run...win a few in the A10T, but if they do, it's going to be in spite of this coach, not because of him.
Seems like it's been said he's been outcoached so many times...has anyone EVER said, he outcoached the other guy? Has that ever happened?
Not a good one for sure......but I suppose there will still be posters that will hang onto that this is a good team with talent.....Seawrightspostgame wrote:If you can't make 3 point shots. If you can't make lay-ups. If you can't shoot Freethrows. Are you a basketball team?
You keep bringing Thorr up like he shouldn't be culpable. What has he done where his job should be safe if you think Hurley should be on the way out?rambone 78 wrote:The kool aid brigade is down to a platoon......
Pretty soon it will disappear into the dust bin of history.....
DH imo is on borrowed time....he hoodwinked Dooley and Thorr into giving him such a lucrative contract, by URI's standards anyway.
They should give him an ultimatum just like they did Baron......should be dance or else by next year.
And Gio, that is damning info....but not surprising....the whispers are growing louder.
The "word" irregardless is not a word...regardless of what you think.rambone 78 wrote:RR2, it's kind of hard to blame Thorr for hiring DH....everybody and his brother [see what I did there?] thought it was a coup...even though Dan didn't have any experience at this level.
In many ways Dan has been great for URI....he's built the program from the ground up with help from URI itself.....of course any coach that Thorr and Dooley hired would have been expected to rebuild the mess that was left from JB.
I mean, that's a coach's job, isn't it?
But the other part, the part that counts from our perspective, is the winning part...and Dan has failed to follow through on his promises in that regard. URI hired him to 2 big reasons, to rebuild the program [check] and make the NCAA tournament and continue doing that on a regular basis.
The second reason has been a failure....he's had enough time to make enough improvements in the on court product....and it hasn't happened....he hasn't even approached the success rate of the previous coach which is especially damning.....
And the most depressing part of this? There doesn't seem to be much hope of enough improvement to get there in the near future....the same on court issues have remained from day one of his tenure...irregardless of the talent he's brought in.
Either the players he's recruited have been overrated [very possibly] and/ or he doesn't have the game coaching or player development ability necessary.
It's reached the point where there's little doubt that his promises won't be fulfilled here. It's time to tell the coach, either you find a way to make the NCAAT and soon, or it's time to move on.
