That is good. Last night Moore must have done the scout. He was up calling out info to the players and Cox was sitting further down the bench.Iggy1979 wrote:I don't think Boswell is doing any scouts, which means Cox and Moore are doing them all where they used to split them between the 3 assistants.
We had the same observation at the GMU game - to the point where at times if you just arrived at the arena off a space ship or something you'd think Moore was the HC the way he was comporting himself on the sideline.Rhody83 wrote:That is good.

Yeah, not to turn this into a Carr thread or anything, but I think your last point there is pretty valid. My memory could be failing me, but I even want to say they took him off of the scouting games later in the season.TruePoint wrote: That is not a knock, by the way. It's awesome we have another guy on the bench that is head coach quality. Makes Dan's life so much easier, I'm sure, and it is clearly not hurting the on-court product at all. No reason to pick on a guy who is not around anymore, but I did feel there was some pattern to let downs coming in games where Carr had the scout. Certainly could be coincidence but whatever the reason there have been fewer of those this season.
That's why the last couple years I've tried to have a thread to keep track of the scout, but it's never maintained tractionTruePoint wrote:We had the same observation at the GMU game - to the point where at times if you just arrived at the arena off a space ship or something you'd think Moore was the HC the way he was comporting himself on the sideline.Rhody83 wrote:That is good.

It’s also indicative of a really connected staff and a secure head coach. Not all head coaches are ok with a guy on the bench who has more experience or who could be seen as able to do their job. I think Dan does see it as a positive. He knows Moore’s likely to be a head coach again but is taking advantage of his time with them in an assistant role. As noted in the article, Moore’s also learning and will be able to take away things he’s picked up at URI when he moves on.TruePoint wrote:We had the same observation at the GMU game - to the point where at times if you just arrived at the arena off a space ship or something you'd think Moore was the HC the way he was comporting himself on the sideline.Rhody83 wrote:That is good.
