URI Fires David Cox

You're looking at this wrong.

If TM (or any kid with a similar profile) were in high school today and we were going head to head with URI for his services would URI stand a chance?

I’m not looking at it wrong. Is the URI coach the next Danny Hurley? Because Danny Hurley got him to go there. You’re being elitist and obtuse.

I’m struggling to understand your point here. It feels like you’re just being contrarian for the sake of it. TM was ranked in the 200’s coming out of high school and Hurley was not recruiting against top college programs for him. The player TM has become has nothing to do with the ability to recruit to URI. The reality is whoever ends up at URI will not realistically be competing for recruits on a regular basis with UConn or Providence. That should not be a controversial statement and the suggestion that it makes someone “elitist and obtuse” is laughably dumb.

Nope. I cut bait right before you turn it into a political debate. Have a good night.

What on earth are you talking about? The topic was recruiting to URI vs UConn. I applaud your attempt to distract from your position here with complete nonsense though.

Your path is predictable and I’m not feeding the beast. You’re so right!
 
Why are we suddenly sour on Cox? I remember the whole board was hoping he’d lose the job at URI so he’d follow Hurley over here.

I get that sentiment for sure - but I watched the vast majority of their games This year as we mentored a key contributor for URI earlier in his career.

Negatives:
KO level energy (read: no energy)
Team had super low collective bball IQ (again, KO)
Team found new ways to lose winnable games (cough, KO)

Despite many High profile transfers, ran offense through two centers mostly at same time all year (not an X&O guy at all), while teams played small vs them a lot.

No adjustments in-game (2nd halves were often blowouts After relatively close first half)

I know he had big rep as recruiter, but I’d rather go a diff direction. Watching the trainwreck, it sure looked a joyless, toxic situation from afar. Not sure what he adds that a zillion good recruiters couldn’t.

Had some talent, but had no idea what to do with it. Game management is awful and ongoing discipline problems with the Mitchell twins. What’s not to like.
