That’s in their contract for all former coaches, right? Or was this just a scheduling quirk?

Scheduling quirk this time, although it is in each VCU’s coach’s contract that they owe VCU a 2 game series (1 at VCU) if they leave for another job.

In that same vein, I’m almost afraid for Cooley going back to Providence. :joy:

One of my odd TV production pet peeves: you’ve got a former coach going down the handshake line, with former players, etc. why not linger on some of those interactions? Was it really that much more important to show one or two random highlights and then kick it to the LSU propaganda film?

Results haven’t matched process, but they do seem committed to a style of play: they shoot 47% of their shots from 3 even though they are only making 30% of them. Tons of turnovers too.

Edit: stats before today, if that’s not clear

We gave this kid and Maliq Brown brief looks from that team loaded aau team. Dont think we were that interested in Nickel and Epps i think it was mutually not a fit

Billups is the most talented player on their roster IMO. He, Jackson & Shulga have the potential to be a good big 3 at the A10 level, along with a couple of nice, athletic, upside bigs.

That’s awesome! Love how you’re giving Dean the “hey, pretty decent coaching today, Coach!” arm hug there. :wink:

Haha. Yea they wrecked us that night but Fresh had a solid game. He grabbed me after to let me know. Coach Smith was always really nice to me.

May have shared before but after we lost to Cincy in Sweet 16 UNC played them in the 8 2 days later. I stayed in the area and called UNCs basketball office and they gave me 2 tickets down in front. Felt like that was nice if Coach but I would have rather been playing them that day
