+1. It's why I never got why people were so upset Munford missed all-A10 teams. Snub? To some yes. But what does it matter? All-conference teams tend to be a celebration of team success as much as individual. Especially in the case of a senior, one who finsihed his career 8-26 in conference games, what is there to really celebrate? All-freshmen gives you hope for the future, that you have promising pieces to build around for up to 3 more years. Means URI is maybe 2 players away from getting a consistent, tourney-potential team, IMHO.Seawrightspostgame wrote: That is probably the best thing to have if your team is not very good.

Re: RUMORS: Shaka Smart to Marquette? (and other Coach moves
It matters to us. URI FANS.
We watched a hard working kid come here and do everything he was asked to do.
That the team was not equal to his ablity is no fault of his.
Getting honors was recognition for what he did, not what his team didn't do.
So, why were PC fans pissed that Cotton didn't make All American?

And I'm just saying, if on a mediocre team I told you could either have: a) Matthews be all-freshman or b) Munford be 1st team all A10 this year, which would you choose? I'll take the kid, or two, every single time, and twice on Sunday. Experienced players who put up numbers on bad teams, I'm sorry I could care less about.

Obviously that is a false choice, though. In no way was it one or the other. We couldn't be more proud and excited for what EC accomplished this year. That doesn't mean that we can't think X got screwed and want the kid to get recognized because we think he deserves it.rjsuperfly66 wrote:Because Cotton put a team on his back, and nearly won them a game in the NCAA Tournament by himself, as well as many other occurances in having to come up clutch to win games throughout the season.rodfromcranston wrote:It matters to us.

URI for the last 15 years had many player that came into the program and left no better than they came in. Player development has been poor to non existing.
I have gone to first games for all those years and came out thinking, wow we have potential.
X is another victim. Finally this year I have hope because Matthews and Martin have improved game to game.
I am hoping that the over complex play calling will not destroy their progress. 40 play in one game against UMASS!! are you kidding me?

Re: RUMORS: Shaka Smart to Marquette? (and other Coach moves
Slightly OT, if anyone has HBO on Demand, there's a really
interesting film called Prayer for a Perfect Season.
It's about St. Patrick's High basketball's 2010-11 season.
They had Michael Kidd-Gichrist, and Derrick Gordon.
Great look at the inside of a big time high school program in NJ.
Dan Hurley does some commentary near the beginning of the film,
and a bit near the end, and lots of Bob Sr.
Both St. Patricks and St. Anthony's went into their playoff game that year,
undefeated, numbers one and two nationally.
Hurley always stops the other team's big scorer. He did it to Kobe, and in this game, held
Gilchrist to 7 point, and beat St. Pat's with a 23-8 blitz at the end of the game.
Lots of F-bombs from Kevin Boyle, who was St. Patrick's coach.
Loads of interesting look ins on the players and families.
Good take for any basketball junkies out there.

Re: RUMORS: Shaka Smart to Marquette? (and other Coach moves
I se indecision due to confusion caused by to many options. Division I basketball is tough fast paced play.
I am not a coach but I watch a lot of basketball and enjoy good play that pays off.
Plays only work if they are done well by each player. Why bother with different plays if they break down
because of a poorly set pick or poor timing. I suggest less plays perfectly excecuted .
How many games did wee lose at the last second due to poorly played play.
Repetition makes perfection. How can you work on repetition 40 times? Not enough time available.
I would also like to see more fun in player morale , kids need to have fun.

Re: RUMORS: Shaka Smart to Marquette? (and other Coach moves
It's like when a team brings in a new QB in football.
They make the playbook simplified so they can have better execution on fewer
plays.
I've heard announcers say how many plays we have. So what?
Non-execution of 8 gazillion plays doesn't help anyone.
Considering that we had no point guard for much of the year, made it look
even worse.
Dumbing it down a bit, might be a better thing for everyone.

John Wooden story holds the key. Granted they had Jabbar,and Walton, but the supporting team knew exactly what to do down to the last player on the bench.
We had Green and Clay , not as good as Jabbar and Walton but a supporting team that made it happen and they had specific talent that was well used to form a team.

I think the entire system is a work in progress.
We saw major improvement in our half court offense toward the end of last season. We still struggled in execution at the end of games, but that should get better with a pure PG [Garrett] and EC gaining experience in that role too.
More bodies, more talent should mean better results.

Maine axed Coach Ted Woodward today. It appears that the recent transfers of players was the last straw. Woodward was never particularly successful having had only one winning season during ten years in Orono. Woodward, who grew up in South County, is the grandson of former URI President Carl Woodward and son of URI hoops historian and author Bill Woodward.

He wasn't paid much (approx 100k/yr). According to the Portland Press Herald, Woodward had two years left on his contract, but the buyout will cost the university only 13 months of salary, or $113,800.rodfromcranston wrote:Pretty wild, when Maine buys out someone's contract.

Many of their fans have wanted him out for some time and Maine's largest newspaper called for his ouster just yesterday.

1. Virginia Tech has made one NCAA appearance since 1996. Cal has made nine, including four since 2009. That's not even close. And it's a hell of a long way from being a 'bottom feeder.'seanmc94 wrote:1. V tech is slightly better than Cal over the last decade
2. ACC is the premiere bball conference
3. Buzz left mainly over concerns over the way he would be allowed to recruit
2. The Pac-12 put three teams in the Sweet 16 this year. The ACC had one -- less than the American, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and equal to the Atlantic 10 and Mountain West. Small sample size, yes, but that's what recruits see. They all want to play in the NCAAs and the NBA.
3. Elite programs allow coaches to do as they see fit so long as they don't get the university in trouble. Marquette and Buzz Williams weren't a good marriage much like Tennessee and Cuonzo Martin. But all factors being equal, Williams did leave what is supposed to be one of the flagships of the new Big East for a worse program.

Bar,

Also,
Anyone who denies that the ACC isn't the gold standard in college hoops is an IDIOT.

anyone who says Va Tech is a better gig than Cal and then is proven to be wildly wrong with facts is likely a PC grad. why didnt you comment on the gross discrepancy in NCAA appearances between the two schools? the difference between Va Tech and Cal is far greater than the difference between the Pac10 and ACC. but dont let cold hard facts get in the way of your one way opinions.

You're right. Wojo is a former star guard at a blue blood program who has been the right hand of a HOFer for years. No comparison at all. Don't misinterpret. I'm not saying wojo is going to win the national championship; but I would be shocked if he doesn't have success.

Re: RUMORS: Shaka Smart to Marquette? (and other Coach moves
Wojo was a glorified role player and gamer, who was a Dickie V overhyped guard bc he played for Duke. Nice player but please do not call him a star.
Ollie played 11 years in the league for multiple HOF coaches, was a star at UConn who was pretty much groomed for the job by Calhoun. The only similarity is that they were both assistant coaches. You can see it however you would like, but basketball experts all agreed between playing for Calhoun to his longevity and experience in the NBA to the season he sat as coach-in-residence that Ollie was poised for quick success. "Former Duke assistant" has not translated to big time success yet, we will see if Wojo bucks that trend. He probably should start by preventing all of his Top 100 recruits from walking out the door. He is 0 for 2 on that.

Not to mention, Ollie walked into a staff with former D-1 head coaches
on it, to help him through the transition.
Wojo has no such makeup on his staff at MU.

Maybe so, Sean, maybe so. And maybe not.
Marquette has one of the biggest BB budgets in the country, Fox money or no Fox money.
However, having big money doesn't always translate to big success. Hiring the right people does that.
Check out Oklahoma State and Indiana lately.
So, we'll see.

Isn't Marquette the same school that Rick Majerus (who would later lead a non power conference team to the Final-4) coached at and wasn't able to get them to the desired level? Seemed he did better in subsequent jobs at Utah and St. Louis. I guess it isn't always a given that a coach will find success at Marquette. I believe Bob Dukiet would have agreed.
