If? He's already screwing URI. I would imagine he will at least go after the 4 star forward.

Of course, he'll wait until Cox gets hired though before doing it

Fasciatelli is the public gym for everyone on campus to use. It's located where RoJo's used to be, across from Hope.

The Athletics facility is located in the gym formerly known as Tootell East - across from the pools in tootell. Tootell west is up the stairs on the other side of the building.

Thank you Coach Hurley. Now it's time for Coach Cox to build on that success.

Dan's going to do what he is going to do in his best interest. He may be a man of great integrity, but there is a point GREED takes over. He is not a person who has these incredible moral values and different. He IS THE NORMAL human being he wants to win at everything and make the most money possible. Just don't act like you are from the Waltons, (Tv show not Walmart). Its all business I understand. Coaching is a great business. Win, have success, a contract that you signed is ridiculous and not worth a thing. But you lose, the contract becomes everything, doesn't make a difference you didn't succeed at level that was hoped when hired. And kids that transfer are quitters. OK, that is rational , reasonable on honest thinking. It may be a little different to me, because I said that or its me , I am different.

On the scale of Tom Ryan? You might want to do a little more research on this one. Fascitelli Tom Ryan? Seriously

Fascitelli is worth nearly a billion dollars, so there are not too many scales after that. I didn't say they were worth the exact same amount of money, just that they are swimming in the same pool.

Shut up with your Iona nonsense. First of all Oats has actually won a game in the tournament, Cluess hasn't. Second of all Oats' teams are significantly better on defense than Cluess. In 2015-6 it was 134 to 145 in favor of Oats. 17 it was 114 to 211 and this year it was 136-218. On average it is 128-191 in favor of Oats.

We get it. You went to Iona and they're irrelevant, so you have to go somewhere to talk college basketball. But you are the only person here who cares about Iona, Cluess sucks, and he would be a disaster hire for us

Oats has three more seasons of college basketball head coaching experience than Cox, two more NCAA appearances as a head coach and one more NCAA win. You grossly underestimate Oats' resume.

I'm starting to get uneasy about this Cox situation. He's qualified, and I think and hope he'd be a good hire, but there's really starting to be a cult like vibe among some of the people supporting his candidacy

He may become a star in the coaching world. But so may David Cox. I think Coach Cox has recruited very well here. Maybe Dan closed all these "great " deals, but Cox was typically the guy who did the leg work and got the ball rolling. And he is not just a recruiter, but a very basketball savvy guy with experience I say move o, continuity something we have never had in these situations.

Whatever happens, happens, it is certainly not going to be decided on debate on KB.

Maybe I am in the huge minority, but its been 45 years of following programs, with many more downs than ups, but Coach Cox is a guy I think we are blessed to have and hope we do next year.

I am with you on Coach Cox, but I don't think we need to denigrate Oats to elevate Cox. They would both be great choices, but in our current situation I think I'd prefer coach Cox.

oh, Im 100% in Cox's corner. He's the only logical choice to avoid a step back. He's also proven he can do the Xs and Os and recruit. Hell, I said it back on page 1 here

Everyone should listen to the Yurview podcast interview with Cox.

The host mentioned that he spoke with Luke Murray (former assistant here, now with Xavier) and he said Cox was the best X's and O's guy he's ever been around.

I listened to that entire interview -- thanks to whoever posted it! -- and here's my takeaway on Coach Cox:

- He's intelligent
- He's experienced
- He's talented
- He's dedicated
- He's a basketball lifer who lives, breathes, eats and sleeps for the game
- He's well-regarded by his peers
- His players and recruits love him

I think he's the right man at the right time, and I want him to lead our team to even greater heights.

I am not denigrating Oats in any way. I dont think I have and don't mean to if i did. I did say he may very well become a star in the coaching world. But David Cox has a very good resume as well. Forget about assistant tag please. There are different directions you can go, in this case there is NO need to go outside of our "family". Absolutely zero. You may hate Rick Pitino, but Nate Oats is NOT Rich Pitino coaching wise and I will guess will never come close. Maybe a more "sexy" name to some, but Coach Cox is the man for this program. My opinion without a doubt. Many of most can disagree, fine.

I think URI fans need to stop saying "We need to hire Cox so we can keep our roster in tact". We need to hire Cox because he's a strong, experienced, up-and-coming coach who is the next step forward for Rhode Island. If players stay, great. But that's not why he's the right move in my opinion.

Here's my two cents...I was very disappointed this morning. Really down. I wanted Hurley to stay. But, deep down we knew that he wasn't with us forever. Bottom line is that we had a good run with him and he gave us lots of great memories over the past few years. We will be talking about them for years to come. The program seems to be in a good place now. We have to thank Hurley for moving things in the right direction. I am very optimistic about the future especially if this team stays together and recruits are still on board. Hurley turned the program around, but he's not the only coach who can be successful here. There are a lot of good coaches out there, and maybe Cox is one of them. Maybe he will do an even better job than Hurley. Our fan base is strong and we want a winner...I think the school knows that and wants to deliver. Hurley leaving does hurt a little right now...but we are going to survive and win without him. I wish him the best.

Mike was at URI the same 4 years I was. I played against him in high school. Yes, he played JV with Percy and Willie, all three RI high school players. Mike went to Harvard Business after URI. He became one of the most successful grads URI has seen. There was a time there was only one person in the NYC area who was a bigger name in real estate. His name was Trump.

I'm not 100% sure about age, but I believe he's actually a couple years older than Danny.

Regarding charisma, I think that's one of his leading qualities. He was always the one holding Danny back from refs, he was always the one talking to our players on the bench when they sat down... He was always extremely attentive with our bench and appeared to have his hand in on most of what was going on, hence the promotion to associate head coach.

He really seems to be a high-caliber guy. What remains to be seen is his ability to source a staff... that is a MAJOR component to maintaining success. He needs another version of himself if he hopes to sustain our current level of play.

I assume since cox has the buyout clause in his contract it was a known fact that Hurley would move on at some point and the administration would be on board with him being next coach.. Probably the reason he has stayed here so long.. Would not be surprised if there was another opportunity the last few years but he knew what was coming and this has become a pretty good gig especially for a first head job... Like that he has already reached out to recruits and current players... Something to be said about continuity.....

We have a great class coming in. We have been recruiting '19 and '20 kids for awhile, so the pipeline has been established for next years class.

One thing to consider is that Rothstein's tweet, that Cox is the coach in waiting which now appears to be the common accepted perception, will likely deter potential quality candidates from inquiring about the job. Many will forgo it if they think they have no real chance to get it, especially those that might be current head coaches (would not want to tip their hand). It does look like things have been set up and leaked to orchestrate Cox as Dan's replacement.

Where does this idea come from that coaches are going to be faxing in resumes? This isn't the weekend shift st the GAP. Thorr has the names of people he will consider and reach out to their agents. Even if they think they're unlikely to get it, they will meet with him to discuss the position. If someone really wants the job and isn't contacted, that coach's agent will reach out to try to get a meeting with Thorr. There aren't going to be coaches that want the job that decide not to talk to us because they think one candidate has the inside track.

I was posting even before the URI 2pm press conference that URI could never have ironclad promised Cox the position. All they could possibly have done was give him a buyout if he did not get the job. The state has hiring polices and practices that must be adhered to.

However, regardless of what Thorr is saying about a national search, the perception is out there that it is going to Cox. Whether the job is truly wide open or not, it will have an effect on possible applicants.
