Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette..........
Duquesne (18-12), which was picked to win the Atlantic 10 but had a disappointing regular season, set a school record for points scored in the first quarter (42) and points scored in the first half (66), finishing 10 points shy of the record for points scored in a game, which was set in 1990.

If she was half as good of a coach as she is a promoter via twitter this program would be one vying for the conference title. Too much turn over via the members of the team and not enough cohesion. All surface material.

You are basically what your record says you are
There is no reason why URI women's sports should be in this situation
What are the odds that Year 6 will be any different?
There is no reason why URI women's sports should be in this situation
- Why are Fordham and Duquesne always at the top of A10 Women's Basketball?
- We have the best arena for women to play in - the Ryan Center is 1st rate
- We have a beautiful campus, beautiful beaches, ever improving scholastics
What are the odds that Year 6 will be any different?

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
Ramster right on the money! Time to send this abomination of a coach packing! Bringing her back proves that administrators just don’t care about women’s basketball and are not willing to save this program!
It’s not like there will be a miracle next year and she will suddenly turn it around ! Bring in someone like the Duquesne coach. He ran circles around the rhody coach!

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
The exodus of players begins. Streeter on Twitter bidding adios amigo daniya, colome jetting to sunny Florida and finding a new home and more to follow. Anybody know how many coaches and players have bolted on this toxic coach the last three years? Wrong people leaving! She should get the boot for this disgrace of a program. Anybody in administration have a clue?

The time is now! The women’s program needs a new coach. Too many incidents have been covered up, too much talent to have an awful record and players are leaving. Wake up Athletic department before it is too late.

Fordham is ROLLING the Dukes early. Currently up 26-9. For all the (well justified) trashing of Fordham men's hoops, their women's team is quite good.

Yes
Fordham actually finished with identical record with VCU
Both finished 13-3 in A10 and 23-8 overall
Fordham list 47-44 to VCU on their own homecourt
So VCU got the tie breaker
Fordham is finishing strong with 10 straight wins. They beat URI by 18 at the Ryan

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
Fordham is a model of what can be done with the right coaching staff. Prior to the current coach arriving the team struggled thru 5 consecutive 20 plus loss seasons and a history of mediocrity that was abysmal. Sound familiar? The current coaching staff has turned Fordham into a perennial A10 power getting to the NCAA’s with smart recruits and better coaching . Facility and campus wise we have much more to offer. How about poaching their associate head coach? See how fast things get turned around!

A coach can be fired for cause if he or she has broken rules or been caught in misconduct. Don’t necessarily have to buy her out.

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
I believe the way Thorr set her contract up was that she had a 5 yr contract and an option for a 6th that would be decided after year 1. IF I'm correct, it makes sense that they would have picked up that option after her successful first season. It will be interesting to see what happens, seems like there will be a number of roster spots to fill this offseason!

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
I don’t know anything about the women’s program, but I know that if they’d have to pay the coach for next season if they fired her I’d prefer they wait a year. The reality is that the program doesn’t produce enough revenue to justify eating a cost like that, and there is very little chance that the team is going to get good next year no matter who the coach is.

No reason at all that URI should not be in the upper tier of A10 teams. The coaching hire is crucial to accomplishing this. URI needs to do something different with this hire - it’s been a long history of being in the bottom half of quadrant
Beautiful facility and campus

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
I feel like if someone is going to attack or insult an individual publicly here, they need to give some sort of an explanation for it. Again, I know nothing about the women’s program and maybe this is all common knowledge if you’re close to it, but calling someone who just lost their job “the wicked witch” seems pretty low rent. Without any context, it definitely looks like a gratuitous pile-on and a drive-by cheap shot.

The extreme turnover in the roster year after year was a tell-tale sign of the dysfunction....but we could have left it at that for all of us to reach our conclusions....I know I did long ago...I just don't like name-calling.....

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
It is my understanding that the girls sign each year at the end of season so as it stands at the end of June they are all free unless they sign when the providence womans coach came in he cleaned house dismissed 3-4 players but were given release without having to sit a year Julia Thissel a strong URI recruit who chose providence was dismissed and found nowhere to go ended up at St A’s d-2 considering what has gone on in this program I hope the new coach keeps some of these girls

I hope Thorr goes young. The coaches who come here after being fired elsewhere has not worked. Find an up and coming assistant at a successful program who is a proven recruiter.

At least one person mentioned Tom Garrick, how about his wife, Shea Ralph? All American at UConn in 2000, assistant coach at Pittsburgh from 2003-08 where they made the tournament her last two years there including the Sweet Sixteen in her final season, then UConn assistant since 2008.

Re: 2018 - 2019 Women's Basketball Season
As of 2015 she had a base salary of about $172,000. This article talks about the potential of taking over her own program a little bit:
https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-wo ... story.html
For comparison La-Force was making about $185,000. I'd imagine if we want Ralph we'd have to raise that figure slightly and we'd probably have to make a lot of the same type of program enhancements that Hurley was looking for when he first got here. We're about 15 minutes further away from UMass Lowell (where Garrick is the head women's coach) than Storrs is, so that probably wouldn't be an issue

Mann hits game winner? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Could care less. Mom left this program in shambles and that is the only thing she should be judged on. Ralph coming to UConn has learned from the best. Culture at UConn second to none. They take no juco players or transfers and that says a lot. Geno took over a nothing program and turned it into the icon of women’s college basketball. The question is can you find another young Geno out there somewhere? It can be done at URI with the right person.

It’s only applicable in that on National TV (or Internatinal in this day and age of streaming) the University of Rhode Island was mentioned on a ACC Tournament Telecast of FSU and Virginia Tech in the exciting OT. And during the greatest week in College Basketball leading up to Selection Sunday!!All In wrote: ↑5 years ago Mann hits game winner? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Maybe from a positive note we got some free advertising that there is an opening at URI?
Thought it was worth mentioning that’s all.
Don’t see how this has nothing to do with a Nationwide Coaching Search that is in motion now. To me any level of National publicity helps.
This should be a happy time for URI women’s basketball fans. A chance for a new beginning. I’d like to see URI search nationwide and not just locally. A nice example is women’s Softball where we are recruiting California, Texas among many states. Think big - now is the time!

We don't need another Geno....just someone who can get URI into the top half or third of the A10 on a consistent basis.
If Fordham can do it, we sure should be able to.

Got you ramster, good point. Rambone I said a “a young Geno” not the god that exists at UConn today. There are 10 young genos out there just waiting to be discovered and given their chance. Daniya obviously wasn’t one of them.
