And you know what - a lot of people would try to hide his scalp issues - he does not give a flying Spartacus.

Point for Ed.

BTW - Easy Ed is a better coach than Hurley.

100%

I'm sorry but did you watch Temple vs Wichita State? It was far from "yawn." It was back and forth all night with a lot of high shot making ability displayed by both teams. It was a very entertaining game.

Nobody watched. Nobody was there. That’s the problem.

All opinions as to the quality of Ed Cooley as a basketball coach aside, I was riveted to the screen during the Providence-Xavier game. The atmosphere was unbelievable. Shot-making, big-time defensive plays, players being clutch. The building seemed Electric. Then, at the end of the game, I switched over to the American Tournament...Wichita State and Temple. Yawn.

I know there are significant reasons why UConn will never go back to the Big East, but boy, do I miss those tournaments. Boy, do I miss games that matter.

Most of our best-remembered BET moments over the last 20 years have been against programs that aren't currently in the BE: Pitt, Cuse, Louisville.

LOL Jesus. PC not afraid when the game is on the line.

They may lose but it’s pretty obvious... hopefully the expensive search firm can do better than second best coach in Rhode Island.

One thing you look for is how do they perform in the postseason and what do they do when the game is on the line. Cooley has passed the eye test in those 2 departments when I've seen PC play.

Well, I'm not a huge Cooley fan, but you can't teach this kind of hustle:

Cooley rips pants, coaches under cover of towel

Can we have more of the same posts?

I trust others' opinions over yours.

Bully for you! Lots of people around here embrace ignorance at every turn. Some even brag about it.

Cooley took over a much more prestigious program, gets better recruits and has the exact same number of NCAA tourney wins. Barring a second weekend performance, this current team will have underachieved.

Agreed. Cooley is very underwhelming. He’s competent, but that’s about all.

And you are excited about Danny Hurley?

Someone who has done less in a lesser conference and has his best team sputtering to the line this season.

It’s gonna get fun around here.

Wait until we can't land Hurley.

I think he’s a better coach and recruiter than Cooley, who is limited by being at URI. I think almost anyone is an improvement on Ollie, so I’m excited no matter what.
