The only names on the reserved seats that I can see are Michael Tertsea, EC Matthews and Jared Terrell.

Kind of lame that the first time they mention attending the press conference is 5 minutes before it starts

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? Won't work on either browser on my work computer and my phone is just showing a spinning wheel in the browser area.

No. I finally got the video to play on my phone, but still no audio. What a joke.

Same for me. Frustrating as hell.

It stopped spinning, but my phone gave me the same flash message. Downloading the Atlantic 10 app, we'll see if that works. So small time

Working fine here. Its most likely a flash issue on your computer/device if its not working.

It works on the A10 app I have it playing on my phone.

Was getting all of the same error messages as everyone else when I tried to watch through my phones browser.

It’s not small time when streaming is working perfectly on laptops and phones via the A10 app.

URI_05 · Unread post by **URI_05** » 6 years ago

Flash only video certainly is small time. Any modern browser makes it a chore to support it.

For many, this may be the first extended remarks you have heard from Coach Cox.

He is very impressive. Proud to have him leading the Rhode Island Rams.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

Very disappointed in some of the program enhancements being announced. A paltry 25K to the assistant coach salary pool will have little effect. No firm commitment to more charters is worrisome.

If URI cheaps out, it will pay the consequences down the road. There is no reason for not making program enhancements now. There is over 1M more in annual revenues from NCAA units and increased attendance from just two years ago. The head coach's salary is several 100k less. The program should be in the best financial shape it has ever been in. There are absolutely ZERO excuses for REAL improvements and investments.

sevegny7 · Unread post by **sevegny7** » 6 years ago

The program enhancements part does concern me. I do hope we can continue to try and push the program to new limits with the practice facility and charter flights sooner than later.

Yes, he was, along with Dowtin and most of the other teammates. They gave Coach Cox a standing O.

no, you were called an idiot because you equate "guaranteed in the coach's contract" with happening or not.

They are program level enhancements that have nothing to do with the coach's compensation.

Would the Patriots dictate that Patriots Place will be expanded in Belichick's contract?

I also pointed out that Thorr didn't commit to it two weeks ago. Y'all need to pay attention to what's going on

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 6 years ago

Let's not jump to conclusions based on a tweet. I'm confident Bill Koch will use his time with Bjorn and Coach Cox to flush out those kinds of program features. Not being present in the contract does not mean they are not present.

Hurley used his contracts to hold URI admin to the fire to drag them up the stairs by stipulating enhancements. Those aren't gone now. It's silly to believe we have no more charters, etc, because that language isn't present in the contract.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 6 years ago

Calm down, guys. Just because it's not in the contract doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

Looks like just about the entire roster was there - the only people that I didn't see were EC and Tertsea (not saying they weren't there, just that I didn't see them).

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 6 years ago

Right, perhaps the feeling is there is no reason to put all that into a coaches contract and there is a trust growing that the program will continue to be enhanced because it is a shared vision.

But it means it is not GUARANTEED.

Only 25k increase to the assistant coach salary pool is meaningless. A 6.25% increase is little better than a cost of living adjustment. It is not a significant improvement. It is far from THINKING BIG.

Obviously some if it is going to depend on donors sticking to their commitments and being as committed with Coach Cox as they were with Dan Hurley. But the desire for those things hasn't evaporated. He also explained that the process for the practice facility were already underway. It doesn't make sense to publicly commit to specific expenditures until they are able to button down the financial commitments of the people they're depending on.

Bill and other media will report on status of program features during the breakout sessions happening right now. Wait a few minutes and those details will be shared.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 6 years ago

Thorr, Dooley and Cox all talked about building upon the last two years. That means the WHOLE program, not just getting back to the NCAAT.

There is a large difference between the desire to do it and it happening. We've desired to redo Meade, with an artist's rendering of what it would look like, since at least December of 2001. Desire means nothing, we need action, and there is no guaranteed action. That should be troubling to everyone. What are we doing with the extra revenue?
