Serious question: Do you think he would have stepped out of bounds any less?That guy had one of the most underrated careers in UConn History.
Three seasons averaging 11–13 pts per game.
Scoring 17 points and going out on his shield in the NCAA loss to Kansas.
He was a great athlete forced to play the three at 6’3” maybe 4” because of roster depth. He had a brief NBA csreer
He was a natural 2 but seldom got to play there.

That’s the spirit!dham & purvis got us to 2nd round, good luck with this team
Anytime anyone steps out of bounds in any game my kids or I say Purvis! Seriously, kid was a warrior for us. Easy kid to root for, he’ll be successful in whatever he does On & off the court.Serious question: Do you think he would have stepped out of bounds any less?

A @tcf15 highlight reel of Rodney stepping out of bounds remains something I keep thinking that I really really want to see, but I fully understand that I might feel badly and misunderstand the point of it if I actually got to see it.Serious question: Do you think he would have stepped out of bounds any less?
There are guys who play a career and never inadvertently step out of bounds. Guys may get forced out of bounds on a drive but actually receiving the ball standing out of bounds is another thing. Nice kid though.A @tcf15 highlight reel of Rodney stepping out of bounds remains something I keep thinking that I really really want to see, but I fully understand that I might feel badly and misunderstand the point of it if I actually got to see it.
Without it existing, I can fantasize that it would be affectionate, light-hearted, and funny...like a great blooper reel, or one of those compilation videos of the too-tall trucks that one-after-another drive into the too-low overpass.
I know it's a bad idea, and that it won't ever happen, but I think of it every time Rodney is fondly recalled, and I join in fondly recalling him.
That’s what happens when you coach from a bar stool.View attachment 77883
Yeah, I think it’s fair to say he has/had some issues with KO. The alums that played with him still seem to pump his tires, but I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen one of the guys who played for him come out and really go to bat for him. Maybe I’m mistaken, but that’s awfully telling and not really surprising given the vibe around the team at that time
Maybe, but it is surprising to see it just put out there plainly.Purv just saying what we all knew
I’m sure this site will have a field day with this one

I frequently have said on the board that Kevin was the only person who could have coached the 2014 team to victory. Afterwards, he was abysmal, but during that season he was the right man at the right time.
I may need to rethink that.
