Head coach speculation for 2022-23

[steveystuds06]

I would rank my preferences as follows.

1. Archie Miller/Chris Mack/Tom Crean
I think these are pretty unlikely (maybe Archie there is a small chance). Obviously these would be big splash hires that would make the program relevant again and turn things around very quickly. However, I think all of these guys could have their pick from better jobs unfortunately.

2. Matt Langel (Colgate)
I think to win consistently at a place like URI you need to run a solid "system". Kind of like Bo Ryan did at Wisconsin, never got the top recruits, but knew what guys would work in his system and could get the best out of them. The more I look at Langel, I think he is that type of coach. He runs a great system, motion offense, good shooters. This is the type of thing that really works in the A10. Colgate is not an easy place to win at and he has turned that in to a really solid program.

3. John Becker (Vermont)
He is just a winner. I don't think he would beat the world at URI, but he would have URI in contention in the A10, and make the tourney from time to time. About as good as you can realistically ask for.

4. All the rest
Everyone else that has been mentioned don't really get me too excited, just since they are a little unproven, but you never know. Mason or Holloway could certainly be diamonds in the rough.

I totally agree. I really hope we go after Langel if we can’t land a splash hire.

Well, if anything, he graduated from Wharton. So the guy is pretty smart. His last 4 years have been solid. Interesting.

Edit. He was instrumental in recruiting Juan Fernandez at Temple so there's that. LOL.

Edit2. Only problem I see is they don't play anyone. They did beat NC State and Syracuse this year OOC however.

[SGreenwell]

The hole in Becker's resume is he's never recruited as an assistant or head coach at this level.

I'd be worried about this more if his team was more like Bryant, which gets killed OOC most years. Vermont is #66 in Kenpom right now. They were #133 last year, but in the 60s to 80s the four previous years. I kind of assume he'd get access to better talent recruiting at an A-10 school vs. Vermont, and it's not like the trip from Vermont to Rhode Island is like going to some completely foreign base of operations, like Southern California.

Why can we not land a big splash coach. We have the Ryan Center, the University is expanding with new buildings and upgrades, football is moving forward, the weight room, the future practice faculty, the upgrades to Meade. Lets get the best that is out there!! Why not!!!
You have the players and the coach you can beat anyone.
Tired of being 2nd best. tired of it. I want to win. As we did with DH, Penders and Harrick

[Rhody74]

I’ll probably be booed to oblivion here but I’d like take a run at Kimani Young. I’m not against Holloway either if you want an existing D1 coach.

I'm with you, Young would be on my short list to.

Why would you be booed about Kimani? He’s been brought up many times on here as a great option…

I was away for awhile for mental health reasons. It seemed a consensus was forming that only D1 head coaches need apply. Not all assistants should be overlooked just because Cox wasn’t successful.

[reef]

It’s a pass for me on Holloway barely over .500 @ St Peters I would think we can do better

It isn't great, but so far, they've lost one game in 2022, and it was in overtime. It suggests to me that the team is always prepared to play, even when the opponent isn't good, which would be a welcome change. (Not sure if that holds for past years as well.)

Again, I do prefer Archie Miller, but if he's not available, my second tier is anyone with a long track record of winning D-1 basketball games. I think the most important thing is some stability, not on the job training with an assistant turned head coach. Someone else mentioned Chris Jans in passing, and I probably like him as a candidate more than most because he's managed to win at New Mexico State, Bowling Green and three different junior colleges. (I don't think he's actually a candidate, because he has zero ties to the area.) Let's just hire someone who's won a shit-ton of games at a lower level school and see how it works out.

[PlayMikeMotenMore]

I bet people in this thread wouldn’t want Drew Valentine at Loyola Chicago because he doesn’t have enough Head Coaching experience.

That's the problem with assistant coaches. We made Cox head coach on a NCAAT team. He flamed out so bad, I never would have expected it. Drew goes to the NCAAT year 1. That's what we expected with Cox.

Loyola returned 4 of 5 starters from last year's team, including a 5th year senior. A little bit different than a lot of other assistant takeovers. Drew came into a great situation and did very well.

Cox inherited 3 all conference players in Fatts, Langevine, and Dowtin.

Also had Tyrese Martin, who would have been a multiple All conference player had he stayed here.

I think PMM is correct.
Let's not take anything away from Drew he did an excellent job.
But the situation he came into the first year was much different than Cox.

We did have some promising young players but lost 4 starters and almost all our scoring.
Loyola, returned most of their core group.

No analyst or basketball insider picked us to receive an NCAAT bid in 2018-2019.
We weren't going to finish among the top A10 teams that year.

I'm not defending David Cox but let's get your facts straight. Stick to the facts of my statement. Loyola returned 4 of 5 starters for Valentine. Cox did not inherit 3 All-Conference players. Don't make stuff up just to make a point. None were on the All-A10 teams the previous year.

Dowtin was a returning starter. That's all. Langevine and Fatts were bench/role players the previous season, 18 min/gm. Tyrese WAS a mercurial freshman. Don't gimme woulda/coulda/shoulda. Stick with 2018-19...that's what we are looking at.

We're talking about evaluating how good a coach is based off of their first season. You can't talk definitely about Valentine after this season nor could you spoken definitively about Cox after season one.

Now after 4 years, we can definitively say that Cox cannot get it done at URI as a head coach. But stop with the year-1 assessment. Totally unfair and inaccurate comparison to Loyola.

Schmidt’s name gaining momentum in the UMASS message board.
Becker from Vermont losing interest with UMASS posters primarily from the Vermont Swimmer rape case involving the Vermont MBB player a year ago. Protest on Vermont Campus by students just recently regarding this situation.

UMASS is much closer drive for Schmidt to visit home in N. Attleboro than Olean. 80 miles vs 400 miles roughly. He may want closer to home as he gets older.

Skerry is an absolute BLAH candidate, has been extremely average his whole career.

At least Grasso has shown the ability to build a program, taking over a team that went 3-28 the year before he got there.

Delaware the 5-seed. Couldn't help thinking I was watching a Baron coached team. Skerry from the Baron tree. NIT for Towson - just like Baron.

I feel the exact same way. The ceiling would become middle of the pack in the A-10 with no recruiting power or excitement

[steveystuds06]

I like Grasso. If he beats Wagner and has a competitive showing in the NCAA, he’ll have options.

I’ve been impressed with him ever since I watched this video on his recruiting style

I hope we can do better than Grasso, but I think he’s a much better coach than Skerry.

I just listened to his interview on "The Basketball Podcast" with Chris Oliver. Gets a bit more into X and O and player development. Beyond their game vs URI, I've watched Bryant twice the last two years, both conference tournament games vs Mt. St. Mary's. I wasn't overly impressed by Saturday night's game. Mt's best player and PG got hurt at the 4 minute mark with Mt up by 6 or so. Bryant pressed Mt. and was able to get them uncomfortable especially with their loud gym. I will say, Bryant hit ft's. They also shot 29 fts to Mt's 10.

I think with the loss last night, we'll see Skerry move down the list for some of the Northeast openings. May be a different story if Towson qualified for the tournament.

Delaware's coach win one game against Towson on national tv and all of a sudden he's a better candidate than Skerry.

Now obviously I don't want Skerry, nor do I think he should be a candidate.

But Martin Ingelsy is 94-85 overall, with a conference record of 45-54.

He has never finished higher than 4th in the CAA.

The big difference between him and Siddle is where the program was when they took over.

Loyola/Chicago has been very successful

On the other hand, UNCW the 3 seasons prior to Siddle's hire:
2019-2020-`10-22 (5-13)
2018-2019- 10-23 (5-13)
2017-2018- 11-21 (7-11)

This season they are 23-8 (15-3) and playing in the conference final.

You're not taking any coach from the CAA seriously? Ever? Why? You realize Mike Brey, Rick Barnes, Lefty Driesell, John Kress, Jay Wright, are all coaches from schools that either competed or currently compete in the CAA?

And just so I'm clear...if Martin Inglesby takes his 5th place team to the NCAA's that means he's a better coach than Pat Skerry? (Even though Towson beat Delaware twice in the regular season and finished the season in 1st place.) Got it. A bad game in the conference tourney and you write a coach off?

Guess URI ought to fire Tammi Reiss too. Get the "Fire Tammi" thread going!

I'll repeat because you didn't read it or hear it the first time..."Please stop with making coaching evaluations based on results of conference tournament games. Thank you."

No I'm not taking any of the current CAA coaches seriously

Why would you think I would NEVER take a CAA coach seriously?

You just keep assuming shit.

You also completely overreacted to me saying Delawares coach is better. It's not like I was sitting here breaking down his entire resume. But since you're pressing me I'll prove he's better IF they win tonight.

First he was an assistant under Mike Brey for a long time

Mike Brey over Jim Baron +1

His brief tenre is very similar to Pats first 6 seasons, but last year I'll give an incomplete because they only played 14 games.

He inherited a team that was coming off back to back 20 loss seasons and improved the team by 6 wins immediately and has improved the team's record every single year up until this point. He's done that despite losing good players like Ryan Daly and Justyn Mutts to transfer. By year 4 he got them to 22 wins, right now he's got them in the CAA tournament championship game.

How many times has Pat Skerry gotten Towson to the Championship game in 11 seasons, 6 of them finishing in the top 3 in the league? ZERO times

Martin Inglesby +1

How many times in 11 years has Pat gotten them to the semifinals? 3 times. Lost every time.

Martin Inglesby +1

Pats overall CAA tournament record? 3-10

Inglesby? 6-5

Martin Inglesby + 1

Pat Skerry is Jim Baron deluxe

Kinda liking his resume a lot better and it's 100% better if he wins tonight.

GO BLUE HENS

Martin Inglesby forever!
