If you are talking Murphy Jr, he is a 22' recruit, will probably have several open scholarships.section(105) wrote: ↑3 years ago ......do we have a scholarship open.......for Murphy son......?

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Same as Jimmy and his dad, 105.
Hire Preston as Asst HC, and he could take over when Cox leaves.
I don't think Preston has been a 1st assistant yet. This would be the perfect opportunity, but it might have to be Thorr's decision.
77 that's true. Would be a perfect fit. Only question would be if the admin would hire Preston due to his issue at Creighton.
I still think [no proof of course] he was acting on McDermott's orders.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Of course, hiring Preston would seem great....but we would still be hiring another who has no D1 head coaching experience if he were to take over.
Not sure Thorr would want to go that route again.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
My goal in this hire would not be to get the “next coach” - we need to be looking for the guy who can help Cox fulfill his potential. Bring me a guy who can help coach an offense. Bring me a guy who is going to scout games and put the guys we have here in the best position to win. Cox is a good recruiter on his own, he has an eye for talent and has I think made a really strong roster. Need a coach to help mold those really talented players together.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
I know no one wants to talk about it but the circumstances in which he left Creighton were pretty murky. And, to a lesser extent, BC as well. He hasn't been on a staff since. Not sure any AD would want to take a chance like that. Definitely not for a first time HC.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
If Preston is the choice that Cox makes- that’s fine(I don’t fully agree). If the reason he gets the position is that his son comes with him- that’s not fine. Those situations don’t play out as great as people think.

How bout Danny Manning and his Dad at Kansas. Bergeron and Mitchell very similar at Umass.
In any event we need a stud with lots of x and o experience including using unused fouls at the end of the half with few seconds left to prevent the other team from getting off a shot.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Christian would be a GREAT hire here.
Unfortunately, unless Thorr were to fire Cox really soon, this window of opportunity will pass.
I don't think he would take the top assistant job here.
And I don't need anyone telling me Cox is staying...I know that.
However, I would love to know what our top donors are thinking.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Preston Jr isn’t a top player like those listed. He isn’t even a top recruit for URI. He also broke his wrist and is just starting to play again.
I don’t think URI is going to hire a coach who can’t get a job anywhere else. There are a lot of top assistants looking for jobs right now due to the coaching carousel. If they combine Sutton’s salary and John Carroll’s salary, I believe they have $300,000 to spend on one position.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Checking the UConn board on assistant coach discussion, their poll favored Luke Murray, with Dave Leitao running 2nd.
I would also be happy with either but Christian or Murphy would be my favorites.

From the article :
Sutton was the top earner on Cox’s staff, taking home $183,859 last season, according to the state’s transparency portal at ri.gov. URI’s other two assistants, Buchanan and Carroll, were paid a combined $184,999.88. The elder Carroll earned $128,793.08, bringing the staff’s total compensation to just shy of $498,000.

I feel bad that the elder Carroll got sick but there's no way he should make more than any of the assistants.
I hope it's not true that younger Carroll makes 69,000.

I think it's more a feeling that his salary would be better used to up the assistants' pay.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
We're not paying any one assistant 300K for sure, right now anyway.
Although the 188K that Sutton made, needs to increase substantially if they want to get someone good.
For instance, if we were to offer Christian, we would have to offer him a good deal more than Sutton made.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Considering Cox didn't get a contract extension, I would assume the elder Carroll's money doesn't come from our coaches pool. The pool is established in Cox's contract, and it's set at $425 for 3 assistant coaches.
This stuff is all public record and Bill Koch does a great job of putting it out there. It's just a google search. No excuse for just throwing shit at the wall when literally you can just read his contract.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
I think Christian is probably priced out of this job unless he had some sort of offset from BC for whatever is left on his BC deal. Private schools don't have to let out any info but if he was getting paid 2021-22 or beyond (I think most of his last extension was in name only) then it would just be a question of if he wanted to be on a bench this year. He might take $1 salary as an FU to BC.rambone 78 wrote: ↑3 years ago We're not paying any one assistant 300K for sure, right now anyway.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
You can go to the RI Transparency portal and see what they made last year and what they made YTD. Though John Carroll salary is listed at 128K, he is coded differently than the other staff and his YTD was no where near what his salary was posted as.Rhody83 wrote: ↑3 years agoI thought that also but Bill Koch listed what each of the assistants were paid last year in his article about Sutton leaving.LoveThoseRams wrote: ↑3 years agoJon Carroll is not getting his full salary.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
Interviews, decision, contract negotiations. The new hire could have to wait for his contract to expire.
There is also a start date. Sutton’s contract hasn’t expired yet.
State job will not allow URI to officially hire a coach = walk through the door” until the person in the position walks out the door.
I am not sure if Sutton’s contact goes until the end of April or May. You can go back and look at Sutton’s hiring and TJ’shiring to figure out contract dates. You can also see how long it took for them to be officially hired.

And don't renew both Carrolls, instead bring in either Murphy or Tyson Wheeler.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
I don’t think there is enough money in assistant coaches’ pool to hire Christian and Murphy or Tyson.
Also why would Tyson leave a job to come to a lateral position when Cox could be gone after this year.
Preston’s Creighton baggage is too much right now. There is a reason he has received zero offers.

Christian is still being paid off from his BC contract, so his salary here wouldn't make a difference to him.
Some of the salary shine from PM has probably been compromised, and I think we can afford Tyson if you compare the salaries of both Carrolls.
Whether or not he would have any interest is another matter.
To get a quality hire, I think URI would ante up. We aren't talking a fortune here.

Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball
As I said to get Christian and/or PM there would not be that much additional money needed if any, because of the circumstances,
If they go another route, we are still not talking that much more $ for a quality assistant at our level.
Besides look at all the additional $ they were willing to spend in order to try and keep Hurley.
If they realize the need to improve our staff in order to help us get back to the next level at a minimal additional investment, I don't think that would be an issue. IMO
If they end up having to replace Cox down the road, just how much do you think they will need to pay in order to get an upgraded head coach?
Also if you are able to somehow get that coach he will want a quality staff and we will need to increase that salary pool.
