We haven't had issues on the court. You can't seriously expect our coaching staff to regulate every stupid decision college kids make off the court.

Is it wrong to like, watch this on a loop for 10 minutes straight, like an amateur Zabgruder film? Should I not do that?

Exactly. Rose colored glasses. No, you can’t have your eye on everything 24x7, but in a position of leadership you are held accountable, and it’s a reflection of your leadership regardless. True far beyond coaching.

There might be one or two people who haven’t heard you mention it yet. Maybe work it into another thread if you can.
88% of Bryant's enrollment is from outside RI. Northeastern states such as MA, NY, and CT each make up a bigger portion of Bryant's student body than RI.

You are AH. It simply is not true and a far far variance from most of our reality. The University was top notch for those who applied themselves and worked. Could you spend 7 years in the Jungle? Sure. Today's UCONN is a direct descendant of the students from the 1970 era.
I have degrees from UCONN & UCLA. I guarantee you the rigor of a UCONN degree was greater; in most disciplines. Why? I rarely had 200-500 student lecture hall classes in Storrs past the first year; in English, they demanded I write ... a lot. The calculus required for my degree was stiffer than UCLA. The Professors were excellent. UCLA IS THE NUMBER ONE PUBLIC. I knew the contrast.

Just refuting what another poster said about no discipline issues under Hurley. Sorry to point out the truth and give your thin skin another boo boo.

Discipline, as in, bad behavior on the court. Bouk has some off the court issues, but I don't remember him, or any other players in the Hurley era, showing bad sportsmanship.
Hurley can be fairly criticized for lots of things, but we don't see clownish on court behavior like Kiss'

Agreed. I was accepted by some pretty good engineering programs out of high school, but UConn rejected me. I would have had to start as a business or English major, or something like that, and work my way into the engineering school. (I elected to go to another engineering school for 1.5 years until UConn accepted me - hence the handle)

That’s why I’ve said I love the players and not a fan of the coach. Sadly, the players have handled adversity better than Dan Hurley. You see them pulling Dan Hurley away when he can’t keep his cool. Complains to the media about refs - not good sportsmanship. Swallow your pride, credit the other team and move on. Lead by example - he’s showing his players that it’s ok to act like that. It’s fine to be fiery and emotional. There are plenty of coaches that do it with far more class.
@Pudge - your anecdotal and inconsequential post doesn't outweigh what UConn has to say about itself, and its own "Transformation". Any university can be top notch for those who apply themselves and work.
From UConn....
The extensive building program at the University of Connecticut has allowed the state to reach its goal of retaining Connecticut’s top high school talent. The institution has had eleven years of steady increases in the SAT scores of incoming freshmen and has attracted more than 100 valedictorians and salutatorians for the freshmen class in each of the last two years
The school students once viewed as a safety school now is in demand. Applications over the past 10 years have doubled for freshman slots in Storrs and the acceptance rate has gone from 70 percent in 1995 to 51 percent in 2005. UConn has also increased the number of minority students in its Storrs freshmen class by 61 percent since 1995. It has also increased its freshman retention rate from 86 percent in 1998 to 92 percent in 2004.
The last ten years (1995-2005) have been ones of tremendous growth for the University of Connecticut, in terms of quality, reputation and physical infrastructure. Indeed, the changes at the institution have been so profound that this period is sometimes referred to as, “The Transformation.” A fundamental part of this transformation has been based on a two billion dollar, twenty-year capital improvement initiative funded by the Connecticut General Assembly, the UCONN 2000 and 21st Century UCONN projects...
...The dilapidated state of university facilities was a major cause of many Connecticut high school students electing not to attend the University of Connecticut campuses. Further, the fundamental physical and technological infrastructure of the institution needed repair and upgrading. UCONN 2000 provided the University of Connecticut with the resources to address these problems.
Sorry, not sorry.

I am guessing you are younger than 50. Because that you cut & paste is a Political statement. Someone is pumping up their shirt or blouse and making this on data boosted by state legislature funding: which we know rose from the push from the Calhoun/Auriemma buzz.
You don't remember the guys who came back from Vietnam that we met when we arrived. It is total BS from you ... because you weren't there. You dare to tell Pharmacy kids - a school that was top 5 in the 70s that it was a safety? You accept this like a putz talking about Jewish lasers. The Finance staff was Nationally recognized in the late 70s. The strong Psychology department; the rising of Education to Neag; the high regard of the Nurses produced. On & on.
There is NO doubt that the campus became run down and had very little capital budget for decades. Guess what? You will not find peer Universities spending money during that period either. It was not something politicians or educators prioritized. Simple test: go number the major 100 universities who built new arenas like Gampel between 1970 and 1990; it wasn't a period anyone was building. UConn - to make you laugh - royally screwed up on a Library and wrapped it in plastic for 15 years.
Go ahead and accept your view. Seems like we are in an age of guys living in their own Private self absorbed space shooting at whatever history they can make up.

Kudos to you for acknowledging one of the reasons why UConn was a safety school, while arguing it wasn't.
I'm sorry the truth has you triggered, but the quotes in bold below are FACTS. You can disprove them, or you can keep mentioning Jewish Space Lasers.

11 years of increases in SAT scores of applicants, while applications doubled.
But....Jewish Space Lasers.

You are just being a ignorant ace. You don't know and you spout nonsense. It is useless explaining real life experiences of those of us who were there. Because you know it all ... you know-nothing.

When people start throwing around “class” you know they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.
Know it all? Go look in a mirror.
Ignorant? Why do you continue to ignore the evidence I shared?
Probably because it is very descriptive of the school’s perception at the time.
But sure, your calculus course was tougher at UConn than it was at UCLA so therefore a decade of data is completely irrelevant.
Ignorant indeed.
