I would be curious also, I have heard parts of the post game and other quotes, but not that.

That would be an odd comment to make, have never heard a HC say that before.

I believe my 10 year olds basketball coach said something like this to her team yesterday.
Got tacos after the game. They were 🔥

Right, if true this is an extraordinarily unacceptable line from the highest paid state employee in Rhode Island.

Here’s the thing they have tons of potential and you take them every day if you can get them. Their FT form and technique is not bad. It’s 110% about focus, mental toughness and confidence. Also things a coach can counter.

Makhel IMO has been better than advertised. He’s prob the 3rd or 4th best C in the league as a sophomore. Yes he can improve and still has flaws but he has cut down on TOs gotten better at staying on his feet and out of foul trouble and has shown noticeable development IMO as a player. I don’t think the same is true for Makhi unfortunately. And I also 1,000,000% never thought playing them together for long stretches at this point would yield positive results. But here we are.
What centers are better than Makhel in the A-10?
The backup that played for GW was better yesterday?

What happened to Makhi being the supposedly "better twin"? LOL.
Ceiling was reached before he got here.
Now I understand why Maryland didn't want them anymore. Their attitudes suck.

Students start back tomorrow. I sincerely wonder what their enthusiasm will be for the rest of the season? If there’s an incentive to show up I’m sure they’ll peace out before halftime.

I heard it in my truck on the postgame as I was driving home after that 💩 show. I was so shocked and pissed I almost hit a tree.

There's so little interest in our program right now that they probably don't even bother recording it. I miss the Hurley days when you could see video of the postgame show from projo on YouTube.

I don't know enough to judge a coach.

But as a fan, What started me thinking was when Cox, after a win where Fatts went against coaches orders, was like "well he does his thing" or something like that. Not acceptable.

But this year watching the twins bring the ball up, and continuously put the ball on the floor and turn it over I couldn't believe Cox let that happen for several games. Is he afraid that good players will transfer? Is he afraid mom will take them elsewhere?

Yes it's hard to not become friends of the players. We've all been there in the workplace. But he's losing the respect he needs, maybe even with the other players.

The team has absolutely blown it with the La Salle and GW performances. The students were GREAT for the BU, Bryant and BC games. I don't think we'll see crowds like that again.

I did a 7 hour round trip Saturday from the greater Portland area with my daughter and grand daughter and was a guest in the President's suite. I did get to show my grand daughter who is a high school junior part of the campus. We also hit the bookstore for a Rhody ski hat. We had a great time in the suite and enjoyed getting to spend some time chatting with the new president and his wife. The food was good and also got to chat with some of the administration.

Obviously, the game left a lot to be desired. Felt bad for the new president as the foul shots continued to clank off the rim.

Anyway, it was good to get down to the campus and escape for a while Saturday morning's below zero weather.

It's amazing how far this program has fallen under Cox. From back to back tourney game winner to the depths of A10 irrelevance. Yet, we keep kicking the can down the road as if something is going to change. Cox is a nice man who is in way over his head.

Thing is, is he really still a nice guy?

Seems absolutely miserable on the sideline, very disinterested.

Postgame comments are always bland and boring, no substance.

Some wins? Or at the very least, not playing like garbage.
Bleed Keaney Blue!

Ahh that sounds like such a nice Saturday for the three of you. It's so nice to hear this, seriously. Aside from the outcome of the game it will at least be a nice memory of family time. :)

Hopefully people are conveying their unhappiness with the program to the new prez........letting him know what we had a few years ago, compared to now.
