Mooney A10 Coach of the Year?

[spider23]

Congrats to Dji for Most Improved, well deserved! Should have been all defensive too. Congrats to Coach Mooney, probably his best A10 regular season work so far. Seems to have his fire back. Doing work in portal and recruiting.
Big congrats to Jordan. If you look back to when he committed, I was super excited to get him. I thought he would be great for us. He exceeded my expectations this season.

Let's finish the job!

A couple other notes:
1. I have Bigelow on my "ALL Bad ASS MF'er Team" as the captain. Hope we win tourney and he is MVP (Ill take anyone from our team, but would love to see Bigs)
2. CONGRATS to Jordan King - All Academic Team. Mooney must have been sweating getting him past admissions

I'm convinced it was his comment at the net-cutting about going back to do homework that earned him a bunch of votes.

I was thoroughly impressed!

Congrats to all of them. I wonder if Dji being most improved hurt his chances a little for all defensive team. Sometimes, voters will try to get more guys on these teams. Bottom line is Dji was great at both ends this year. Big time congrats to King and Mooney. They 100% deserved it. And, congrats to Quinn. I'm surprised to not see Bigs somewhere on there. He was just too good this year to not be at least 3rd team.

Biggs’ will now have a chip on his shoulders! Prove them wrong!!

Yep, I was looking for him somewhere as well. Thought he was great all year, and really really set the tone some games. Think getting quick fouls and sitting a few games may have hurt his stats

Great point but still adds fuel to the fire!

Aside from King - who really is the main reason we will either win or lose a game, the next most important player to UR is Bigelow. He can get us points, he can shoot, he can finish near the basket, he can make FT's, and he brings toughness. Fouls are an issue with him. But he is a key to our team behind King.

I totally agree, he needs to make his presence felt in this tournament!

We also need Tyne to step up as a sophomore and not as a freshman.

Congrats to all, now let's load up the all tourney team.

 

[SpiderGuy]

No Dji on the defensive team is a crime...but it is what it is

Well, he gets my vote. He more than earned it.

Outright snub! Something else to prove!

 

[SFspidur]

Dayton fans acting like whiny little brats, as if Holmes was required to win by himself despite leading his team to third place.

They really are being insufferable, lol.

 

[SpiderDad75]

They really are being insufferable, lol.

I’ve been cooking them all day 😂

 

[Section9.RowD]

I’ve been cooking them all day 😂

They are very well-done at this moment after your cooking

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

Great accomplishments for everyone. Does anyone know how common it is for a school (A10 specifically or schools in general) to have both the men's and women's coaches be coaches of the year?

 

[spider fan]

Congratulations to Mooney and Rousell - great accomplishment(s)!

 

[SFspidur]

Hey, there are classy Dayton fans out there!

 

[GKiller]

But do we really believe him after the bullet comment?

 

[Eight Legger]

Lol, he would get shot to save DaRon Holmes? Is that his dad? I think there's not enough to do in Dayton and most of their fans have lost their damn minds.

 

[8legs1dream]

new poll just dropped:
which Richmond Spider would you be most willing to take a bullet for?

 

[spider23]

I would have spiderman and Gkiller take a bullet for Jordan and DLo.

 

[GKiller]

I would have spiderman and Gkiller take a bullet for Jordan and DLo.

well we owe u. for taking that bullet from Grasso at Blackie's.

 

[spiderman]

I would have spiderman and Gkiller take a bullet for Jordan and DLo.

a bullet is extreme, but I'd take a paintball for the Giper.

 

[SpiderRick]

I would be willing to get in the dunk tank for whoever hits the winning shot in the finals. But the water needs to be warm.

 

[KE Spider]

Luke warm fan?

 

[plydogg]

Bonnies leading LaSalle by 1 with just under 4 to play. So far the A10 tourney has not disappointed.

 

[plydogg]

LaSalle missed a putback dunk at the buzzer to lose. What a game though! Feel like Loyola will have an easy time dispatching the Bonnies tomorrow

That was painful to watch - but think Bonnie will make Loyola stress a bit

They sure did in Olean!

Go Spiders!

I wonder if this requires another net cutting ceremony. At least a banner for Mooney, Top 20 Phelan award winner, right next to his litany of KenPom Top 100 banners.

I'm sure his agents will somehow squeeze a couple hundred extra grand out of of Hardt and Queally for this.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

I was gonna say, this is really going to trigger some people. But 97 got to it first.

 

[spider23]

Mooney had a good year. I don't see a national COY type year, but a good year.

 

[plydogg]

Mooney had a good year. I don't see a national COY type year, but a good year.

Agreed. But I would hope the A10 COY always makes the Top 20 national list

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

Chances of this based on the last three games are absolutely zero. But it was a good year until then.

 

[97spiderfan]

Mooney had a good year. I don't see a national COY type year, but a good year.

You would think a Top 20 COY would have his team in the NCAA's, but that is just me.
