Mooney is going nowhere, and in my opinion - he shouldn't be going anywhere after this season. College sports and coaching is all about - what have you done lately. And lately - Mooney, minus this season - has been good. Look at the last 5 years.
21 - COVID Short season - NIT Quarterfinals
22 - A10 tourney champs, win first round NCAA game.
23 - 15-18 - Mooney has medical issue.
24 - 23-10, win A10 regular season title - NIT first round
25 - 10-22.
So in 5 years - Won an NCAA game, 2 NIT appearances. 2 losing seasons, but one is asterisk with medical issue.
SO in reality - I don't even think his seat is warm at this point. Given the new landscape of college basketball, I think it is more likely for most mid-major schools to have the roller coaster up and down year to year because each year will be a new team. Gone are the years where we could say, yes, we went 10-22, but we gained experience and guys coming back will be better. Next year will be a whole new team. Remember Mooney when he first got to UR, he was able to build that first few years with KA, Gonzo, Butler, Geriot, Harper. They struggled early, but got experience. Those times are gone. You get players for 1-2 years max. Each year you will have at least 4 new players and building HS Kids is a thing of the past.
So if Mooney has another losing season next year - the seat gets warm. But if he finishes .500 or above, the administration will be happy with the "improvement".
