Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5290157, member: 71"] I remember hearing quite a few who sat near me at the Civic center complaining that we didn't hire Penders. This was after we won the NIT, Penders took URI to the sweet 16 in 1988 and a lot of people (who believed a UConn grad should get special consideration) felt Penders was the better option, even with our NIT win. I didn't understand it then but those people fell into the category of those who didn't believe we could ever win as a BE school and thinking that we could one day compete with schools who were trying to win championships was foolish.
