David Cox officially let go by URI (formerly, "Fire Cox")

[ramster]

To each is own.

Wouldn’t blame people for doing either one.

Not surprised one bit. Wouldn't have expected anything else from you.

Also, probably 90% of the people at the women’s game last night were bandwagon fans, kind of the exact opposite of “loyal” as you said.

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but let’s not call last nights crowd loyal when this season, and last, they averaged what, like 250 people?

So let's just call them more loyal than those who went to the PC Game instead.
Attendance averaged about 500 first 9 game of the year.

Last night was 2nd highest attendance this century with the Dayton game being the highest this century. 500 compared with 1346 last night. Not 90% bandwagon. Plus bandwagon fans can become loyal fans. The fans the last 3 games of 1253, 2415 and 1346 tend to be young and very enthusiastic. A lot of young girls including a big contingent from Westerly last night. Positive, upbeat and energetic who are having a good time and the likelihood of them returning seems to already be in the recent numbers.

Attendance, fan support and overall enthusiasm is a big part of what a coach and team desire. I remember Dan Hurley being disappointed at times with the less than expected fan turnout when the team was doing very well.

We all have choices. Go to the URI Game or go to the PC Game. Maybe one day the choice will be more obvious for more people.

[TruePoint]

I didn’t go, but god forbid people want to go watch a good college basketball game, in a sold out arena. in their own state. Shame on them.

Imagine looking at PC with that view, instead of looking at URI saying “why don’t we have those same expectations for ourselves?”

What PC is doing is a direct result of their expectations and investments.

What URI is doing is the same.

See if you can spot the problem.

I hate them as much as the next guy and want them to go 0-30 every season, but also can completely understand Rhody fans wanting to go watch a NCAA second weekend contender in their own state with a great atmosphere.

I watched the game on TV. I normally don’t care either way but (a) URI being bad has greatly reduced the total amount of college basketball I’ve watched this year and (b) PC being good stinks but it’s fun to root against them. I have a ton of friends and family who are either PC or PC-adjacent people; my dad, who is a lifelong Rhody person and who started bringing me to games and around the program when I was a baby was at the game last night with a friend of his who is a PC season ticket holder. I usually go to a game every year with people I know who have tickets and invite me as a guest. Watching or going to a PC game isn’t disloyal to URI if you’re also a basketball fan in general.

[PeterRamTime]

It's only okay if when you're there you cheer very loudly against them.

That game was absolutely nuts....I also was rooting for PC because I out money on them....it didn't feel right but the lil bit of cash is good

It is Friday, 02/25/2022. It is my firm belief that David Cox will no longer be head coach two weeks (03/11/22) from today. The A-10 PIG games are to be played Wednesday, 03/09/22. The PIG winners and seeds 5-8 then play Thursday, 03/10/22. I then think it a very safe bet that URI's season will be over by 03/10/22. Would think an announcement or leaks would follow within 24 hours. The next chapter of URI men's basketball is about to get underway.

No doubt definitely better happen sooner than later

[Obadiah]

The ineptitude of David Cox is only exceeded by the Jerry D disaster. Cox was given the job based on the recruitment of what was then considered to be the best recruiting class that year in the A-10. How wrong were the experts because that class imploded from the first game casting doubt about Cox's ability to recognize talent. We already know that Cox shows no ability to develop players nor to recognize winning combinations given the deterioration of every one of his teams as the season progressed. Even his best team of two seasons ago collapsed in a remarkable fashion in both games versus Dayton. Yes, Dayton was a final four team, but URI's horrible performance versus them before a sold out crowd at Ryan in that last game was stunning. Built into his 5 year contract was the notion that under adverse consequences his salary was actually based on four years, so there is no problem with a fifth year buy-out. Early March can't come soon enough.

This is definitely revisionist history. Only given the job based on the recruitment of the best class in the A-10? Are we ignoring what he did as an assistant coach? He had served on the staff at multiple high major schools, including spending time as an interim head coach in which they went 3-0. People around him spoke very highly about his basketball knowledge. He was much more then simply a recruiter and was deserving of the job. Just because it hasn't worked out, don't make it seem like he wasn't qualified.

I agree. This wasn't able to be forseen but I'll stick to my guns Cox was the right hire.

You just never know if a guy can make the pivot from "promises" to "decisions" until they try.

Cox tried to do too much. He tried to do everything. He hired a poor staff. As a result he looks exhausted and defeated.

He needs to probably get another assistant job, maybe under Hurley again, and refocus with a new perspective.

Like building a house - you think you know what you want because you've been in homes your whole life, and then once you do it - you realize there's a lot you could've done differently but it's too late to change.

He'll get another shot at a lower level, either immediately or after another assistant stint.

Guys a great dude, knows basketball, and is an asset to whichever university community he joins.

He's just not a good head coach and his tenure here can be described as nothing but disaster.

[bigappleram]

His alma mater's job is going to up soon

He is going to UCONN. To complete the URI Staff at UCONN

Sorry, you misinterpret what I said. First, I used the word "only" in reference to Jerry D and did not use that word in reference to Cox recruiting class or skills as your question posed. Obviously he had other qualifications. Keeping the recruiting class, however, was the swing factor in making the hire.

Besides the recruiting class we felt like he would maintain the culture Dan built. I think he gets hired regardless of the recruiting class. Almost everyone believed in him. It was the logical choice. To be like Xavier and other successful mid-majors able to promote from within.

[bigappleram]

Great recruiter. 3-0 interim coaching record.

Great recruiter. 1-0 interim coaching record.

Cox and Kimani. Cox was the right hire it didn't work out. Kimani may be the next right hire, he could also go in any number of directions.
That is the game with hiring an AC. All you can do is try to hone in on an archetype with the information available and roll the dice. Some of them become HC stars and some reveal themselves to be better suited as the good cop/player relations role.

[Big Bob]

I am totally frustrated with coach Cox. He has trouble generating any kind of offense, and lacking in basic fundamentals. Too many times the offense has come down and thrown up a 3 pointer without trying to work for a better shot. Players are not blocking out, and rampert with turnovers even this late into the season. Many of the turnovers were unforced errors. Overall, the team shows a lack of discipline. I believe they may be close to a record amount of technical fouls by a certain player.
It is also apparent that the players do not develop much under Cox.There is little improvement by the players after their first year here.
We are now further away from making the NCAA Tournament than were 4 years ago. This program is in a downward spiral. Any mometum gained under Coach Hurley as been squandered. I can only hope that this is Cox's last year. He will probably follow Jim Barron's footsteps and land a job in a lower level program.
A 5 year contract for someone that was never a head coach before was unbelievable. Cox only other option at the time was to remain an assistant under Hurley at Uconn. We were only bidding againt ourselves. I hope the AD has learned from this, and use a sharper pencil in the next hiring. I can only hope we are looking now at possible candidates to replace Cox.

What? It’s literally part of his job to retain and develop players and not have them leave for basketball blue bloods like Kent State and SMU and Florida Gulf Coast.

I'm giving him a pass because it's really the only time he's had a really bad team and I don't think he's ever had a problem with guys transferring out like that before.

To each is own.

Wouldn’t blame people for doing either one.

Not surprised one bit. Wouldn't have expected anything else from you.

Also, probably 90% of the people at the women’s game last night were bandwagon fans, kind of the exact opposite of “loyal” as you said.

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but let’s not call last nights crowd loyal when this season, and last, they averaged what, like 250 people?

Or hopefully new fans that will return and become loyal fans.

“Loyalty” is built by consistent winning - very few losing programs have a lot of fans showing up to watch losses.

Also, on the main subject here, I am not convinced Cox is gone yet. I just have a feeling he sticks for another year after we get word from one our bigger coaching targets they won’t come here. We need a massive influx of energy into the program and I don’t think they can him unless they are very sure they can get one of the top targets.

The Projo is also going to write-up when East Greenwich wins a Division II HS title, though. There can be fan excitement for succeeding at a smaller level that's worth coverage, vs. a bad or middling season in a better conference, which doesn't really move the needle much at all.

Maybe that's why they are struggling then, over publicizing Bryant with such a low interest level in the State for a tiny private school. I've been a huge supporter of the Projo over the years. URI can now play a game at 4pm on a Saturday and it doesn't make the Newspaper until Monday morning. In an era with instant communication. This is the first year I've noticed this. A 2pm Saturday game might make the Sunday paper, and maybe a 12 noon. Play a 6pm Tuesday night game and it gets in Thursday morning paper. Slower communication of the news instead of faster in a faster world.

Just keep in mind that, the vast (v-a-s-t) majority of this board...wanted this coach...and this is what we got.
So, next time, it seems like "everybody" thinks a certain way....take some time to ponder it on your own.

I'd be submitting my app to work the Archie campaign, but as long as The Rick is still a-coachin', I'm still holding out hope.
My gosh, I mean...that might be the best thing to happen to RI since.... I challenge someone to name it....

I’ll be quite surprised if Slick Rick leaves Iona after this season

Same...but a guy can still wish/hope/pray....right?

Couldn’t agree more was always a dream of mine to have Slick Rick coach URI

LOL...everything I hear I hear between now and whoever gets hired is either 'Charlie Brown's teacher' or The Rick, with maybe some Archie mixed in...

Doesn’t Pitino have like a $10m buyout? If so, you dreams are more dead then people already 6 feet under

Unfortunately he had no buyout 4 years ago

I KNOW.... but a lotta folks here, were concerned about, 'the look'...
THAT is what cost us, more than anything...with The Rick on board, we'd probably be looking at where we meet for the NCAAT, for the 3rd year in a row....
