Heard hoyas are diving into portal...focusing on that and backseating the coach hire

Stink Norris is rumored to be on at terps.

Haven't confirmed yet.

Aau source noted it

Shutting down


Will affect recruiting for sure.

RN, until things change and it may take years, everyone is a free agent in college sports.

Do not become too attached to any player. As soon as u do, he/she may leave. Turnover rate is equivalent to working in a fast food restaurant. This is gonna happen every year until systemic changes are made.

Hate to see it, but it makes sense. The writing is on the wall that they’re recruiting over him

Losing at home to BC not helpful to its argument for being left out of the NCAA tournament

needed a new one as last year-s was too long amd last year's

gonna port a few posts over

Clearly Stats were used to justify personal conviction, as were injury.

That has never been used has it...injures??

thomas and ryan are up 3, with 2 minutes left.

imhotep tied it with like a minute left.

the place is rocking

i'm getting this from my man in the crowd, who is simultaneously cheering. hahahah

widely believed, like before, imhotep's guards would dominate. ryan is battling!

i really think hoyas CAN get this. the staff does too

will they? likely not unfortunately. an older team would...which kind of exhibits my position on the game.

hoyas find a way to go home.

His teams always play good defense and this year is no exception.
Yale defense is next level. He is a great coach

The Cooley saga...now this. They egged tickets car??

A coach in the state told me something was different and wrong with them

He was 100% correct

Any more on possible assistant coach.

goes to show you how quickly things can change

Our Assistant is leaving. Good for him wish him the best. Does he take any coaches or players with him? Would seem like a guy like Bristol would benefit in playing a step down in competition.

I hope Cooley adds some DC guys to the staff.

made the tourney


feel bad for Bristol Jr

he should have stayed


EDIT: I know nothing about Howard's squad but this kid Bryce Harris's stats are pretty nice

great shooter and an absurd rebounder for a 6'4" guard

Hes resigned from Calvert hall

Had to

Was showing up drunk

Hope he gets the help he needs

cooley on the year

It wasn't a good year. And i think all these losses, i take. I gotta do a better job as a leader, and I will continue to get better. But ai thought the struggles this year helped me be a much better coach. Helped me be a better listener, more attention to detail.

It's obvious we have to add a lot more talent

cooley dapping carter and provy

im really happy for Devin being player of the year - I voted for him. I think he should also be the defensive player of the year. I voted him for that as well.

Credit Providence. They made the right plays, they withstood a run. We didn't execute from the free throw line.

What did Cooley tell his guys afterwarwd?

You have to have gratitude. We as leaders have to understand, we have young men who are emotionally distraught, know what I mean? I told them, 'Let's keep the main thing, the main thing'; 99% of college basketball players are going to need a J-O-B. And you have one of the greatest academic degrees in the world. Let's keep that as well.

You know, hug 'em up. Let them know, be open, honest and direct with them. And be real with them, don't try and B.S. your kids. They will smell that anyway. If you are open, honest and direct, your men will respect you.

I feel for them.

Cooley on going forward

We have to continue to build, to get better. the better team won today. it's not the end of world, the sun will come up tomorrow. i got a helluva job, i work for a helluva AD, work for a helluva President. We're going to move this program in the right direction.

The BIG EAST is going to be healthier, when we Georgetown gets to where we're GOING to go.

How the programs builds per Cooley

Ohh. Obviously we have to add some pieces, right? We have a really young core that's coming in. The nucleus we feel like we'll have a good nucleus and will be some carry over.

Given how our jobs are challenging now with the landscape of college athletics with the portal and NIL, we as coaches would build teams instead of programs. Hopefully the carry over with the men who will be in the locker room, can build on that culture and that philosophy.

So that's something that I'm grateful about, going into year two. Hopefully we make a big, big jump.

How did he get his guys to play hard in BIG EAST Tourney play?

This is the first time I'm going through something like this as a head coach. i had a similar situation as an assistant coach, in this building at Boston College in 1997 i believe, played against a very talented Syracuse team. Before the first media timeout, it was like 30 to two.

And again, when you;re having this type of years, it's a credit to our coaches, its a credit to our team that they still fought RIGHT to the very end. A lot of people would have thrown in the towel, a lot of people.

So ti's a credit to the culture we're building, the DNA of the men, the care of the men, the pride of the men. it just wasn't the year to write about, but it's definitely a year to learn from.

Wide ass open. Haha

So glad this S show of a season is over but I’ll say Cooley has really put himself behind the 8 ball. He’s got to get at least 8 BE wins next year IMO. It’s not going to cut it if he only gets 6 or so. We should be pushing for a tourney bid next year with how much he is getting paid, but at this point, that’s looking highly unlikely. He basically lost a year in some ways. Now, I hope as I said in another thread we have some building blocks, but I could easily see departures too. Going to be a long offseason.

This is the 40th anniversary of the National Championship Team. Did the University do anything to honor these guys or this team this year?
