The above explanation fits perfectly with the events that actually happened over the past year. Occam’s Razor

And that's not even considering the amount of money spent on facility upgrades and game promotions and Mooney himself.
We are reliving the Lew Mills days record wise in a much nicer on campus venue with a much higher paid coach. Lewis Mills (1963-74) 11 seasons 110 wins 170 losses .393 winning percentage.
"Mooney hating" as you and others like to term it has nothing to do with me. I don't know the man personally, so please stop with your "hater" lies. My grievance with Mooney is that he doesn't have the coaching skills to take the Spider program were I want it to be. His record (including his mediocre year at Air Force) speaks for itself.
Your statement that "conference titles and sweet 16's will not make you happy" is false, so please stop with that lie also.
Your statement that "so I guess that when other coaches win with talent, it is because they coached them up, but when Mooney wins with talent, it is because this talent bailed him out" is YOUR statement. I did not say nor imply this, you have no idea how I evaluate other coaches. So, please do not attribute your assumptions to me.
Different people have different levels of understanding. When one peddles unsubstantiated hyperbole (as in your post) they set themselves up for incredulity.
Damn you two sound like politicians going at it in a debate.
All we're missing is Bernie Sanders putting his finger up trying to get a word in just to keep getting cut off.
I kid, but I did get a little bit of a feel of that with the long posts lol. I think both of you have merit, just in different ways. We could really use some good recruiting news right now.
So with that being said i have some big recruiting news
Breaking:
Sources say Spiders will not lose Golden, Sherod, or Gilyard! Suck on that ETSU

Wow. Interesting post for a message board, where opinions are the main form of posting. I guess I was supposed to put IMO maybe or possibly in front of my statements with ? at the end so I wouldn't "lie" so much. Okay, for you I will post this way since my other post obviously bothered you so much. Shoot, did it again. Sorry, about that. Let me try agan. Maybe my last post bothered you so I will post to you differently?
I should have said IMO, maybe you are hating on our coach since you seem to criticize him even when discussing a sweet 16 run?
You have replied this is false, and I will now apologize for "lying" there.
I should have said IMO, maybe sweet 16s and conference titles upset you since you mentioned how frustrated you were with his coaching during these years?
You said this was a lie also, so I will again apologize for "lying" there.
I put "I guess" in front of the one about different coaches with talent, so I don't think I should have to correct that one.
So, sorry for those 2 awful lies I told on an innocent message board where crazy opinions and sometimes "lies" (not always intentional) get posted all over the place.
I am not sure how to comment on your last paragraph except to say this is a message board, so good luck asking people to prove their opinions. But, with you I will try to use exact words and make sure I can back up everything I say with proof. Sorry again for the awful lies.
I agree and will try to do better. I doubt anyone enjoys reading long, politician sounding posts on here, if they even read them at all. Thanks for the heads up.
The day we are rid of this coach we will all be able to get along again.
I remember that game well. That was cool, how we took a 4 point lead with over 7 minutes left in the game, then didn't score a single point for the last 7 plus minutes and lost by 15.
That was a tough one to explain to LFS (little future Spider) on the way home.
Coincided with right around the time I lost my voice, crowd was loud so had to yell pretty loud to be heard. The bench fillers stared me down most of the game and got flipped off by a few of the fans behind their bench. As far as just my experience at the game it would have to be top 3 games I've ever been to. Hard to top getting into that meany people's heads.

Pop the champagne. Unfortunately may have to put it on ice for what is it...3 or 4 years?
Sadly my best memory of basketball at the Robins Center was watching St. Benedictine vs. Oak Hill courtside. Ed Davis vs. Brandon Jennings. Best basketball I watched at Richmond unfortunately... some very down years when I was in school...
JM would take a hit on here if he had not come to the table and signed CM to a long term deal and he is also taking a hit for doing it. if any of you recall, most all of us were calling on the admin to sign CM no matter what it took, me among them. would add that thought 10 years was wrong but maybe that is what it took and it had to be done.
I was on an early morning JetBlue flight to Boston with CM which turned out to be his interview with BC. I was shocked that we signed him to a 10 year contract. I thought we would come through with a 5 year deal which I think at that time would have been more than enough to keep him here. His agent must make Jerry McGuire look like an amateur.
More likely the unwitting or subconscious application of Bayes' Theorem i.e., a Bayesian inference or based upon subjective probability.
Ah, the era of "Losin Lew". Our basketball program is now in the Groundhog Day movie mode!
I've made thousands of bad guesses, but two were right on...Told Bill Dooley do not be the coach that follows the legend, be the coach who follows the guy who follows the legend. Number two don't sign anyone to a 10 year no out contract, again Gillen and Groth were two good recent examples of why not.
Good riddance. You were getting on everyone’s nerves big time!
I take that as him saying “I’m not leaving, we’re gonna do big things at Richmond” so I wouldn’t be worried about that post at all
I honestly have no problem going for a 10 year contract as long as we are willing to fold when it is a losing proposition. Knowing that our unwillingness to pay a buyout is for ALL contracts, no matter the length, I am against 10 years here now. It’s just stupid, bad business. We have an albatross.
Do we know definitively that we won’t buy out a contract? I think this is generally thought to be the case, but am curious if it’s been openly discussed.
No one wants to lose a good coach but the handcuff to a bad coach seems even less desirable.
I agree that's how I interpreted it. But the thing about cryptic messages is nobody can really know what they mean. I can say I'll be checking his Instagram every day now just to see if he's posting anything else. Great catch by whoever first caught that, I believe it was Eight?
I have heard today all three remaining starters are solid, staying and love the school. But then again, so did Buck and Khwan
As far as I concerned the UR/Buck days are over. Wonderful kid, wish him the best, but he is gone. Time to let him move on to what is next for him, and us move on to the future of UR. No need picking at that scab anymore.
