OT: Providence

Lol, Cooley just said "I hope Kim leaves Providence College better than he found it."

Was that a backhanded slap at of Providence as an interim stop?
 
I was on Hartford for the Georgetown game 2 weeks ago. The players from Georgetown players just got on the court and the boos were a lot louder. When Cooley shows up, oh boy!

I have not looked forward to any non-UConn game in years as much as I have for this one. Decibel level should be through the roof. Keep us posted @gsmooth with what your seeing and hearing.

As much as a scum that Cooley is, I hate Providence more. Go Hoyas.

Me too, but as much as I hate PC, I'm with them on this one. F Cooley.

Same. I absolutely respect their hate.

That said, Georgetown winning at Providence and Cooley doing the shhh! gesture at the crowd afterwards would be the icing on the cake.

I heard that too. It's a reasonable sentiment, but geez man, it's like he's intentionally trying to rub salt.
He could have said that 100 different ways. He could have said something other than Divine Providence. He is a smart man. He is not that obtuse.

That may all be true, however, he has won 3 NCAA Tournament games in 17 Seasons. He did them a favor by leaving. The ceiling will be much higher under a really good coach.

Hard to win tourney games at Fairfield. I believe that if he was still the PC coach, and was still there for the foreseeable future, he could have had a tenure that included F4 runs. Would he have been consistent? Probably not. But PC likely would have been better off with him long-term. Now it’s just another restart.
 
I also think if Cooley had taking team to final four before he left there would be no hard feelings if he left, but he left Providence on the cusp of getting job done without actually doing it.

eg Hurley can do whatever he wants at this point and I will still respect him and like him. I wanted Ollie out as coach because he wasn’t doing well, but will always like him because he lead team to a championship.

When did Cooley say that?

He's definitely taking shots at the Providence fanbase.
 
The season ticket holders here just told me they have never heard the PA announcer warn the crowd about good behavior in the other games. BTW I see Jeff Goodman
 
I saw fear in Cooley's eyes when he entered the arena.

Hats off to Friars fans. The energy there seems electric. Think I just heard a "I hate Cooley" chant. Correction: I believe that i is a "fuq Ed Cooley!" chant.

Just watching from TV, it feels like the roof is gonna come off that place. Powder keg ready to blow.
 
Two things. 6 million a year. He kept Providence relevant for a long time. Very unusual for a coach to go to a conference rival. I don’t hate him for that.
 
OK. Back to reality. This was a fun distraction, but it’s just another college basketball game. We only really care about UConn basketball. Go Huskies!
