Message: [QUOTE="Friarsnoop, post: 4547532, member: 7339"] Not trying to gloss over the comments at all. When Cooley came to Providence, the season ticket base was down to 3000, and there was no student interest, primarily due to a number of off the court incidents before he got there. Now, the season ticket base is over 10,000 and the vast majority of the student body shows up for every game. He's mentioned many times how proud he is of our fans, so that's clearly what he was referring to. He's also talked about wanting to bring a championship to Friartown, but making sure everyone doesn't lost sight of enjoying the process. He was also definitely sticking up for Hurley. He did the same thing when Hurley was at URI in year 4 or 5, when their fans were bitching about him. If you want to make a bigger deal out of it, have fun. [/QUOTE]
