We're officially doomed

Good list VT. I'm going to watch Yale play Wilmington in the NIT tonight and was thinking about them. They played at Howard OOC late in the season. Did we call Yale? Again just one example but after JMU put us on blast I really think the problem is more effort from our coaches rather than the excuses they offer.

Not sure Coach likes to play teams he played against while in school either ...

I don't think he likes to play teams that have better than a 300 NET.

BB admitted that this years schedule wasn't designed to help the team make the NCAA Tournament. So it was designed for one purpose: to get CM to 20 wins which for some reason UR still values. How do you have a coach in place for 21 years in the A10 and not even try to put yourself in position for a bid? Posters here with about 2 exceptions care way more about winning and NCAA appearances than those in control at UR do. Can't make this kind of stuff up. Hopefully we will continue to bring this to light at least in the local media when given the chance. Fitz is much better about honestly covering the program than Matt Josephs is. MJ admitted on his show that he is friends with Mooney and isnt comfortable seriously covering UR because of this connection and because the station is the flagship for UR athletics. Very unprofessional to not cover each team fairly regardless of personal feelings/friendships in my opinion.

Appears that Mooney is very strategic with friendships.

To my brethren on this forum - the regurgitated stories and endless excuses are beyond getting old. No end in sight. We deserve better. Everything for one coach, and no one else matters. It’s tiring.

Better so than in game strategy.

It is crazy that its ground hog day year after year with Mooney. Same excuses, same schemes, same shortcomings, same blaaahhh. Over and over.

Probably good I can't open the article. I would be throwing things if so. Help from the A-10 office? Like we needed Lunardi's help??

You want some help? Here's some help. Look at the NET. Find quality mid majors in the top 100 and top 150 and freaking schedule them. They might not have the same NETs next year, but maybe they will....and they won't be 300+!!!!!! You can still schedule 3 or 4 250+ games like every team plays. Here are some teams, and there are plenty more in the top 100 that I could mention.

Tulsa 52 NET.....Mooney's Uncle went there.
Akron 54......His high school friend thought about going there.
Yale 68....His friend's Mom went there.
UNI 72.....1st grade teacher went there.
High Point 75....didn't want to hear jokes about us being at our low point when playing them.
Wichita 78....His wife knows someone there.
Hofstra 88....His son has a poster of them on his wall.
Bradley 113 ( they were begging for games last year). He hopes to be friends with their coach someday.
UAB 118.....He met their film guy in an airport.
