Not that I saw. One would think we down at the end of the game and with Loyola have not 1 but 2 sub 50% FT shooters on the floor, that we would have exhibited maximum pressure and fouled either of these 2 players if our pressure didn't create a turnover. That's not what we did though. Just ran the same usual sets we always run.
Yep, it is embarrassing how far this program has fallen. But it is more alarming that it appears our leadership doesn't fully know, understand, or frankly care to honestly see where our program currently sit.
10-25 against A-10 teams the past 2 seasons. There is no justification for not having a new coach next year.
I think most of us who have wanted Mooney gone for the better part of 10 years have lost faith and view him as untouchable. However, the past 2 years as you point out are the lowest of his 21 years here and he has very little on the roster that gives hope for the future (outside of AA, we don't have an A-10 caliber starter on the roster).
Until they prove otherwise, theres no reason to think his seat is even warm at this point.
One of the things I take consolation in, is that if UR academic performance over the last 2 decades mirrored the basketball program, the administration would have the same response…
See Mooney enablers, H, H, and Q. Wait until they come asking for more NIL money.
We will not know his seat is warm until it is red hot and he is gone, cause that is how these things work. But yes, I do agree with everything else you said. He should have been canned a long time ago if anyone was paying even close attention to the ins and outs of our program.
My confidence will flip one day. Unfortunately it will take the admins making a change. Certainly nothing has shown concretely that there’s one foot out the door.
Hence why it is so intelligent!
They said his ankle or leg was injured, think it was wrapped up. I think they were just limiting his minutes due to that
