TJ Buchanan is back!!

Unread post by Tom98 »

TJ has official joined the URI coaching staff. TJ said he was just recently called by coach and within 3 days it all happened. His family is moving to RI next week. I had good talk with him. What a great guy and I'm pumped about him joining the staff.

Awesome. We had speculated about this in the Where Are They Now thread a few months back. Seems like TJ will be a great addition, no matter what his role. Speaking of...do we know what his role is?

He said he always knew he'd be back, just didn't know when that would be. Said his son is doing great. Role will be in "player development."

One of my favorite players of all time!

That's the way I heard it also although the PA system was not the best.

Happy the news is out, wish I wasn’t out of town so I could’ve been there tonight. Hope everyone enjoyed the evening.

LOVE IT

The kid was born to be a coach/leader. Even as a player he was like having a coach on the floor.

Can't think of a better guy to be a mentor to the players on how to act, practice, improve and take nothing for granted

It'll be a joy to see TJ on the bench. If he imparts his attitude on all Rhody players, we'll have another championship in 2018.

It would be nice, at some point, if the staff list is updated online.

So pumped about this, spoke with TJ at the event on Thursday and man you've never seen a happier guy. Apparently his little guy is doing well too and just turned three recently! Welcome back to the family TJ!

TJ Buchanan worked as hard to bring this program back to respectable and beyond as anyone has, love this guy! if he works at life and career as hard as he worked for loose balls in a scrum, this program is extremely lucky to have him on board!
