Seems to have a similar game plan as Hurley's.....Good defense, good rebounding, keeps it simple on offense. He has had a handful of 6-7, 6-9
Hassan's. All great rebounders and defenders. Suffered from guard play [low shooting percentage] over the years,

....written by a QU alumni and former eighth man a long time ago.

ARD - an offer too good to refuse. A raise probably in the 50k range, and two hours from home. Al is just down the road in Atlanta, and maybe ARD's stepping stone to a HC job at Kennesaw.

Carr - I always felt Carr was like a JB's Clarke.
Speaking of which, he is back as a HC at a prep school in western NY.
Ditto. Like the hire and speed of the hire a lot. Moore was considered a rising star in the coaching world back in his UConn days. I thought he could succeed at a high level at that time too. Although he wasn't great at QU, he wasn't awful either. Welcome aboard. Plus adds some excellent experience for a staff that has pretty much lacked that in the past. Both coaching wise and recruiting wise.

My understanding is he gets his QU salary ($500,000 a year) for the next two years minus his URI salary.

I clue of what you're talking about when building a staff and clearly didn't have a father who was involved in competitive sports that you then followed in whether as a kid or past that.

Just checked out Quinnipiac's roster from last year to get an idea of where they were getting kids. Only 2 New Englanders, one from CT and one from Mass. 3 kids from Maryland, one each from Florida, California, Washington, NY, NJ, Illinois and Cameroon. Of course, this probably reflects his assistant 's ties, but a pretty wide range of recruiting areas.

Moore is a huge get. Hurley is getting after it big time now.

Also as a lover of the grit and toughness players from New England and the Tri-State area have...it's awesome having someone with the pedigree of Moore to get more of those guys here

Show me where I said ANYTHING negative about Moore's hire?
I'm questioning if you need two coaches in the same area.
You've lost Midwest recruiting when PM left, Northeast when Murray left,
and now Southern hotbeds with ARD leaving.
It's been mentioned on this thread that Moore seems to have a wide
recruiting map in the past, so it may be a moot point.

I don't get the vitriol towards Tom98 for merely suggesting Bob Sr.
be brought on.
It's been brought up before.
I doubt Dan would want his father looking over his shoulder, however,
as he wants to make his own mark in the game.

I may not agree with Tom's thought but I'll respect his right to offer the thought and he did so in an opinion gathering manner - just bouncing the idea around.
No need to be so mean and insinuating things about his father. Don't need to bully him.

I think it is a function of not really understanding how things work. There is not any reason why a kid would need to time a verbal commitment to align with the official announcement of an assistant coach's hiring. A verbal isn't an official thing, it is just an announcement of intent, and while assistant coaches are involved in recruiting kids it isn't like their involvement will start tomorrow nor would you expect it to result in a commitment on their first day if it did. It is the same kind of thing as when people were linking the Carr situation with not signing Juiston. I guess on some level I can see where people are making the connection in their heads, but even a cursory understanding of the processes involved make it obvious just how specious of a connection it is. A kid could announce for URI tomorrow. I'd be thrilled is one did. But if that happens, it would be a coincidence and would have literally nothing to do with URI's internal bookkeeping.

Is TJ not playing somewhere? It would be a shame if he isn't, I'd want all our guys to be playing at 25 rather than coaching for their own sakes. But if he isn't playing I'm sure there is a good reason for it, and we should find a role for him here. Few people gave more for this program.

Just to follow up on this... this article is from the A10 tournament. At the time, he seemed pretty settled home in Michigan.

http://www.providencejournal.com/sports ... e-matthews

"Buchanan helped lead the Rams to the National Invitation Tournament as a senior in 2015, and he returned home after graduation to begin working in marketing. He also plays professionally in the American Basketball Association and coaches at his alma mater, Kalamazoo Central, which features Michigan signee Isaiah Livers. Buchanan’s son, Terry III, is healthy and flourishing after undergoing heart surgery as an infant in March 2015 and his longtime girlfriend, Cecilia Edmond, is on track to graduate from nursing school in May."

Thanks for tracking that down, Ace. I guess the ABA beats the YMCA that most of us semi-retired basketball players play at! To me I can't imagine anything better than being 25 and getting paid a real salary to play basketball in Paris or Madrid or Milan or Lisbon, but obviously everyone has their own life to live and it sounds like TJ is doing great on the path he chose. Couldn't be happier for him.

This is a very Dan quote, and it made me laugh-

“It’s embarrassing to me for there to be a comparison to a Hall of Famer and an amazing competitor,” he said. “I’ve know Tom for years. He’s always going to say nice things about me.”

There have been no official announcements made by URI to date.
Bill Koch, a week ago, tweeted the information out - first and only news I have heard other than on Keaney Blue
Rothstein is only the second tweet that I have seen related to Staff positions.
Some here rumored some Coaching announcements would be made on July 1 - still no announcements
I have been checking frequently the roster in GoRhody and there has been no Coaching Staff listed
Today there is a Coaching Staff listed but it does not match the rumors:
Coaching Staff August 17.png
Coaching Staff August 17.png (24.73 KiB) Viewed 1743 times
It does not matter to me. I have full faith in Dan Hurley to recruit and manage the Coaching Staff. I even did back in the "Baron 2.0 February 2017 days". But I think it is not so fitting to dis Rothstein when no official news has been out anyway.

The official announcements will come out in due time and all will be fine, I believe.
