In his defense, Rhody has been decimated by injuries the last couple seasons more than just about anybody in the country, and he had them playing very, very good basketball in March (one of the forgotten games of the tournament is URI-Oregon - the Rams had that one sealed away in the second half a couple of times and just could not hang on. It's more than conceivable, had they won that game, that they would have played a little longer. This wasn't some Cinderella trying to play spoiler, this was a squad that straight outplayed a loaded Oregon team despite their best player having the worst game of his career.). The A-10 conference is maybe the biggest victim of recent conference realignment that we don't talk about (the Big East and AAC took a lot of their teams), and he's an underwhelming 35-19 in conference play over the last three seasons. He's a lot like Calhoun in that he is a hell of a program builder. Time will tell whether he's in that stratosphere as a coach. [/QUOTE]
