Rumor was, it got to Dooley who shot it down.

If you can hire Sean Miller...you will dance.theblueram wrote: ↑3 years agoSean Miller might become available. People have said Preston Murphy might work. How about Harrick who we hired with a stain?

So if URI hired Slick and we got a couple of A10 titles and a few NCAA births, RF1 and a few others would be watching championship curling on espn 17 instead? right.

I absolutely love these outlandish takes.
If Pitino had us in the NCAAs, Sweet 16, I guarantee that you’d be watching, as well as every single other person on this board.
Stop with the “I’m above and better than watching my school/favorite team because our coach had some past transgressions.”
Gimme a break.

Re: Who’ Available- Who do we want (To replace DC)?
There is a difference between hiring someone who had an ethical lapse or made a mistake or even got a bad rap and hiring a genuine piece of shit like Rick Pitino. Here’s a guy who is both constitutionally incapable of playing within the rules as a basketball coach and also has zero ethics or integrity as a human being. I could see myself becoming so desperate for success for URI that I’d be willing to compromise a little bit in one area or the other, but a guy like Pitino goes so far over the line in both respects that I just wouldn’t be able to stomach it as an alumni.theblueram wrote: ↑3 years agoSean Miller might become available.

I can watch pro sports if I want to invest in mercenaries wearing the correct laundry (and I do!). I want my school to be about something beyond that.

To even compare Harrick and Murphy to Pitino is a joke in the first place
