Re: FIRE COX
I will say this, the A10 in particular is a guards league and our guard play has been very weak. Cox I think rightly identified the need and brought in El Amin but he has been underwhelming. Leggett is a tough guard who has value but can’t really shoot well, same with Martin. Shepherd is an enigma (he should be one of the best every night but isn’t), Carey is still a year away from being a really good player and Thomas also can’t shoot. Worst group of guards I can remember in a long time.

Jalen Carey is 22 (23 in October) and has played all or parts of four seasons in college basketball and managed to get only 15 minutes on a really bad team this year. I’m not sure he’s a year away from being a really good player.rhodylaw wrote: ↑2 years ago I will say this, the A10 in particular is a guards league and our guard play has been very weak.

Re: FIRE COX
Ace, I really enjoy that you participate in our forum and are a valued member. You have a relationship with us from the Hurley Days. You have great insight and know many in the basketball circle. I would love for your input on our next hire(If Coach Cox is relieved). I'm not trying to put you on the spot and I completing respect if you decline but...
Your List young lady?
I would put the full court press on Kimani first! I don't think we get him... he is going big time but just maybe Danny's influence can help.
I don't see us getting a splash hire. Archie or Wojo ect.
I would like Shaheen Holloway over Coach Mason.
No to Grasso.
I do think this time around we could get a real good hire. Danny did a lot of heavy lifting and placed the program in the National spotlight not too long ago and made us relevant again. The program is not a graveyard.
Just would love your thoughts! I greatly appreciate you sticking around here and helping us through this Rhody Debacle!

It’s not a secret that the majority of here wanted Cox.

I haven't seen any progress, growth, or development of the HC or any of the players. When you have players verbally telling the coach to F off when they're sitting on the bench, that's a formula of disaster. Absolutely need this to not happen again.

Cox was not my first choice at the time, and I didn't consider myself "pro-Cox," but I wasn't anti-Cox, either. I saw the merits behind the decision, it was a gamble I wasn't opposed to taking. But I'm looking forward to moving on now.

Other than Leggett everyone is scrawny as hell
I said all last year and in the offseason that the twins needed to put on some muscle and they didn't change their bodies at all.
Especially Makhel. He would be an absolute beast if he filled out his frame. He might even shoot 50% on his lay ups!

Re: FIRE COX
Heard Larry Brown speak once at a clinic. He said that he wanted to name his autobiography "800 times a MFer". (The number and math may be off) He said this is because he coached Allen Iverson for 400 games. Based off rotations he took him out towards the end of the 1st quarter and towards the end of the 3rd quarter. Each time Allen Iverson walked up and down the bench MFing Larry Brown for taking him out. He reasoned that as a result he's been called an MFer 800 times during games.LoveThoseRams wrote: ↑2 years agoReported by more than one person who sits near the bench, overhead 3 different players using F word to Cox after being taken out of the game.Taylor Swift wrote: ↑2 years agoNot necessarily verbatim "go F yourself", but let's say they're disrespectful to him on the bench.

Walker seems especially frustrated every time he gets taken out. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of them.

Re: FIRE COX
I don’t have a major issue with the disrespectful language - the team is losing, everyone is frustrated and the guys getting pulled out of the game think they can help win. That’s just competitiveness. I want guys who hate losing. I want a coach who hates losing. Then I want guys who will execute down the stretch to make the winning happen. We were very close in a lot of games this year until the last few weeks, a couple plays or FTs would have changed some Ls to Ws. Instead the season derailed (again) and Cox was not able to right the ship (again).

Re: FIRE COX
105, I totally agree with that.
They can swear all they want, but not at the coach.
Just goes to show the lack of respect some of the players have toward Cox.
Does anybody think Coach K or really any coach worth his salt would allow it?
Once respect is lost, it's almost impossible to get it back....and that goes for marriages too lol.

Yes - he should be fired.

The twins and Carey have no case to be mouthing off to the HC over playing time. They are sitting because they have sucked and have made little effort to improve and play like they are part of a team.

Jalen has identical assist/TO ratio as Leggett but is better in almost every other stat category. He plays 10 mins less per game though and Leggett can’t hit any open shots most games, he has a reason to bitch about that.

What has he done with it? Either made terrible hires or not trusted his hires to do the work themselves.
A CEO doesn’t go down and manage the day to day of front line people - he has managers for that.
A head coach isn’t supposed to be as involved in everyone’s day to day tasks - scouting, practice, etc.
He also lets his guys run stuff so they get experience.
Hurley lost assistants nearly every year to bigger programs with more money. That was frustrating for him, but he always made the right hire next.
Next to moving Dowtin off the ball, this was his biggest failure.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

Leggett is a solid A10 guard but he does not do enough offensively to command as many minutes as he is getting,
Somehow, Carey has averaged LESS minutes this year than last. Which is incredible seeing how he's bee the best guard on the team this year.

Re: FIRE COX
Carey should not have been getting more minutes last year. Every time he went on the floor, he would be a turnover machine. However, he has played much better this year. His shot looks better, and his decision-making has improved. Like all of our guards, I don't think he's a starting level guard on a solid A10 team, but he's shown us he can make an impact. I hope he's back next year.Rhody15 wrote: ↑2 years agoI've been saying this for two years that Carey needs to play more. Good to see others are hopping aboard.

Re: FIRE COX
Leggett works harder defensively than any other player on the team and deserves to be starting.

Re: FIRE COX
Agree about Leggett defensively, but he regressed big time offensively, dropping 10 percentage points in most shooting categories and going from pretty reliable with the ball to 49 assists/50 turnovers. Despite horrible numbers he was third on the team in minutes because he plays D. Unfortunately, URI lost most of the rock fights.

Re: FIRE COX
I think Leggett was hurt by our two big men strategy. He’s mostly a slashing, physical guard that wants to get most of his points in the paint. There was a lot less room to operate with no Fatts and two bigs.

Re: FIRE COX
Why is there so much immaturity on this board? Negativity is expected, but so much childish stuff lately. You can want Cox to be fired and be an adult at the same time. It can be done. I think it's clearly time for him to go, but I am not going to crap all over him. He did his best.

Re: FIRE COX
Someone doing “their best” means getting worse each game? You cannot be serious with this. There’s people who spend a lot of money to support a successful program. To know that people provide such a large investment of time and money to support this program and have players tell the coach to F himself? That’s not doing “his best”.Rhody_NYCT wrote: ↑2 years ago Why is there so much immaturity on this board? Negativity is expected, but so much childish stuff lately.

His best was when he was AHC.
