Dave Cowens
Bill Musselman

Any others or input on above?
The above is a power house list.

no need for this, why even start this when it's a rumor he may be on Rutger's list?

Talk about putting the cart before the horse

PLEASE CUT THE BULLSHIT!
Hal Kopp hasn't made a single serious post ever!

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:21 pm**

Hal Kopp is satire and should be taken as such. Don't get bent out if shape about his posts. They're actually kind of funny of you get what he's doing.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:23 pm**

Silly Hal. You know we hire sucessful UCLA coaches who get fired. They take us deep into the tournament. No need for lists.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:29 pm**

I heard Thorr agreed to stay with the understanding he will become basketball coach when Hurley bolts for Rutgers. No list is needed.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:35 pm**

Fantastic list. I actually know Russ Cordua, and had no idea he played at URI a while after I met him. He is a teacher at a Maryland high school that is competitive in football and basketball, but he does not coach.

Rusty may have been the best pure shooter I ever saw in 50 years watching URI basketball.
He didn't have the 3 point line, either. Incredible range and quick release.
Too bad he left after his only year at URI. He would have
been one of the greats here.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:53 pm**

OK,will remove Pepin and Musselman.
Will add:

Kevin O' Neill
Danny Nee
Mike Deane

I saw the following posted in the comments section underneath the Yahoo article and almost puked:

"Former Rhode Island coach, and current Canisius coach Jim Baron would be a great choice.
Solid character, solid teacher.
He does things the right way."

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:02 pm**

Yes, CFL would be the best choice for Rutgers.
Why not Jerry D?

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:10 pm**

CFL is an expert in driving a State basketball program into the ground!

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:13 pm**

But in a respectable way, though.
Besides, Billy could go 4 for 4 in schools.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:49 pm**

I'd really be impressed if he could get Ray Pepin to come back....

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:55 pm**

I thought only Jesus and Lazarus ever did that.

And Ciccilini.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 8:07 pm**

Oh, yes. I forgot about him.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 8:35 pm**

Buddy Cianci can ball... Top of my list right now.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:13 pm**

Max Good
Mike Csingiser
Tim O' Shea
Jim Christian

This is really firiming up.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:28 pm**

Jim Harrick Jr.

The tradition continues......

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:31 pm**

Gerry Gimelstob! He's an alum, a former benchwarmer, and he got fired by GW.
Perfect!
Is Brendan Malone still alive? What about bringing Claude back?

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:44 pm**

Sara Palin would be a good choice. Unfortunately, she never seems to finish a job.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 10:31 pm**

Why not Jerry D?

jerry d assistant coach AND Billy B can transfer again. !

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2013 10:48 pm**

Cindy Baron would be ideal - no relocation expenses for URI and she has Jim's rolodex.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:26 am**

Say it aint so Hal Kopp !!!

I'm pretty sure he is busy with the new league stuff and all, but Arlene Violet might be available. She'd whip them into shape... literally...

Salty Brine

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 8:55 am**

Scott C.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:36 am**

Chaffee? Pretty sure he's not busy doing anything right now

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:40 am**

I say we offer the job to Pat Clarke and call it a day.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:47 am**

Tom Drennan, Mike Fratello and Pat Skerry. And Bob Walsh, of course, and Bob Hurley Sr.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:01 am**

Gina raimondo

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:21 am**

Dave Cowens, Red Klotz and Vivien Stringer.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:34 am**

Didn't Kareem Abdul-Jabbar toss his hat in the ring after Harrick left? Let's see if he's interested now!

Speaking of great UCLA big men, how about Bill Walton? Since (as seen in the Bob Ryan thread) he knows exactly how the game should be coached "these days," let's give him the chance to do it!

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:39 am**

Billy Hahn
Jim Dougher
Charlie McGrath

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:46 am**

Lou Gallo should be our only choice!!!!!

Joe Formicola ....

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:09 pm**

Sandy, Hurricane. She's familiar with the South County area.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:54 pm**

That's actually a pretty funny list. I haven't laughed in days.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:00 pm**

I almost forgot about the most obvious choice .... Stannis Baratheon.

For the uninitiated: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Stannis_Baratheon

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 12:49 am**

Just say no to Salty Brine and C Vivian Stringer !!!

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 6:49 am**

Jim Donaldson is reading my list,let's add:
Billy Coen
Bob Walsh

Joe Walsh would be cool. Bet he'd straighten out the Pep Band too....
