Marketing Ideas for Spider Basketball

idk if this is really marketing per se but do a 50/50 raffle and the school's 50% can go to NIL. Everyone does a 50/50 now, raising $ for youth orgs or in the pros for charity. May not be a lot but its something, and ppl like to buy because they have chance at winning $.

I'd be interested in a 50/50 raffle where the fans stand to win half and the other half goes towards Mooney's buyout.

OMG. We have a Top 25 women's team and we are throwing out t-shirts from some left over box in the Robins Center basement to our new fans who were are trying to get invested/excited about our program. Please be better than this.

I don't think I'm the contrarian on this but glad to be if I am. See other thread for my thoughts when Trap brought this up.

I think if they have a surplus of vintage T shirts we should take more advantage. Announce they'll be part of the cannon shots. Sell them on the website idk. I'd buy it. Guarantee these T shirts r 10 times better than what they sell on URSpidershop. The in house gear is always better. & if u gave me the choice of a mens 1988 shirt or one from 2025, I'm taking the 1988 every damn time. I have an old Spiders Club shirt it's my fav & lucky shirt. wish I had more from time in school.

I get the young girl who received might not be the happiest idk. But let her parents explain.

Box Score Plus Minus

so ... I'm a believer in a bunch of advanced metrics, one being +/-
you can't look at it for an individual game. not only because I can't find any site that posts it, but also because it doesn't mean much sometimes in an individual game. it depends a ton on the guys you're on the floor with. but there are things that happen on the floor where a player has an impact that don't show up in a normal box score. things like communication, help defense (and recovery!), boxing out, "hockey assists", etc.
+/- simply shows how the team performs overall while each player individually is on the floor. and after say ... 19 games ... I think it's meaningful.

in the attached, look at the "Advanced" section and sort by BPM.
GW3 leads but in such few minutes it doesn't mean much.
next 5 are Dusan, DeLonnie, Walz, Beagle and AP. that rings pretty true. (it's a big unsettling that Beagle is our 4th best of our regulars and his BPM is negative, especially with our uninspiring OOC schedule, but it is what it is).

what's shocking to me is how far down the list Tyne and B Artis are.

Tyne and B. Artis are not surprising at all, they use a ton of possessions on offense when they are on the court but don’t actually score, and are easily abused with switching on defense. Best move Mooney has made is playing AP at guard to reduce Tyne minutes.

Coaching incompetence

every time we get close to possibly letting Mooney go (with his contract being short enough), he puts up a good season and we extend him for 4 more.
One would think the extenders would see this trend too and maybe wouldn't be so hasty in giving out extensions after 1 good season.

Just the safe mentality existing at UR. The student17 mentality that u must extend. He says he wants UR in the Big East yet very accepting of running it back with Moon and his clear 20 year results. I just don't get how that works. But not student17 fault this is a admin and big booster fail. Heck we even extended him once without any of that - by David Hale during his fake AD search, in that gap btw Gil and Big Hat No Cattle. So they don't need any reasons. NCAA and beating Iowa, yes we get it. This summer not a chance, not with the prior extension & what he had left on deal. However I predicted they'd do it anyway because it's UR, not because it's smart. But without more years they get into a less than safe territory. They can't say there weren't a million alarm bells ringing either. His metrics r obvious, his 20 year tenure results r obvious. Just read the board we used to get criticized by Coach for Life crew but there r smart ppl here. Status quo is extension, & that means we like the safe yet underperforming status quo.

I didn't get a picture, but attended a game in December. They threw shirts out and a little girl a few rows in front got one. She was so excited - opened it up and I believe it had the years 98-99 on it across the front. I just shook head when I saw it, don't think the girl cared too much as she was so young - but I looked at my friend and was like - did they find an old box of shirts in a back closet of the Robins Center basement and decided to give them out today?
Can confirm, although the one my wife caught had 2016-17 on it.

What did you expect from UR Marketing team? I would not be surprised if they get a shipment of shirts with a misspelling, and instead of sending it back or destroying them - they look at each other and go - this would be a good shirt to throw out to fans at the next home game. But the shirt says UR Spidrs. Its missing an E. Ahhh - whatever, they know what it means. We don't want to waste $500 on more t-shirts.

Students of the Game: Break Down How White Ended Up on Avila on Crucial Possession!

Softest screen of all time, no switch was needed.

BUT - even with that mistake. Once they saw Avilia with the ball on top of the key and just backing him down, a double team should have came. SLU had right idea - everyone spread out - so it would have been a mad scramble of help - but at least make Avilia kick it out, and make them make the extra pass and hit a 3 pointer instead of back down layup.

Mens - SLU @RC - Saturday 1/18 2:30 PM USA network

... but in the last 5 minutes, I saw AP step out of bounds twice, for no reason, Dusan force two horrible driving layups for no reason, then miss a bunny, Beagle miss a bunny, and White take a terrible long two off the dribble. I don't think any of those were "coached". Those were on the players.
could anyone read angry coach's lips in that timeout? I'm not sure but I got "are you f'ing kidding me?! are you f'ing kidding me?!".
I agree with the announcer though, that on the 2nd AP out of bounds Beagle was too close to the sideline. AP didn't have room.

Cam said he has been gambling on his success since Middle School. NFL has
always been his goal. I see similarities between him and Kyle where Kyle hung in
at UR all his career with a degree and a chance at a NFL career. If you are an athlete, you
have dreams and aspirations, but you first must look at a career outside of football, due
to fact such a low percentage make it.

It was mentioned that at some of the women's game - they are using old t-shirts (some from the 90-' and early 2000's) to shoot out and give to fans. To me - that just looks bad, as it looks like you just found some old shirts laying around and decided to get rid of them.

I find this totally hilarious. Did someone on the board get one of these shirts at a game? If so, can you post a picture?

Yeah - the prizes have to be big if the contest, like that one is big.

Quick google search of the same exact contest you took part it - I see a car was won by a student at Auburn, Indiana State gave out 10K, Baylor did 5K - so yeah, not even a $500 amtrak card would be enough.
I missed the putt but was kind of close, so I think the consolation prize should’ve been an Amtrak gift card!
