We get it. He’s a nice guy. Opposing coaches love him too especially when his team never contests for a rebound and he never makes any adjustments during games. They love him and hope he stays UR coach for twenty more years.I understand and get the gist of this thread. That being said, I read this article many years ago and have never looked at Coach Mooney the same. I'm not certain why it affected me so much, but I have always felt it was an incredible story.
I'm as disappointed as everyone by the way this season turned out but I do think Coach Mooney is a stand-up, classy guy who is loved by his players and willing to help those in the Richmond community.
If you haven't read this article in a while (or ever), give it another look and hopefully it buys him just a little extra respect from everyone.
Chris Mooney shows real class
We can only hope.Yes, Mooney will take his UR student’s and parent’s $20,000,000.00 and laugh all the way to BC leaving this train wreck behind.
No body on this board doubts Chris is a very nice man, but he is also just an 8th place coach.
What did Food Lion do to piss you off?The real issue being that we’re paying $1.3M per year for a nice guy that finishes middle of the pack. If we’re paying him $500k (which isn’t chump change), it would at least be a scenario of you get what you pay for. We’re paying Whole Foods prices for the Food Lion experience.
Don’t talk bad about food lion!What did Food Lion do to piss you off?
At least food lion boxes out. I’ve actually seen them put their boxes out.What did Food Lion do to piss you off?
Sponge Bob comes to mind.I bet we can find a guy who is just as sugary sweet and super nice as Moonpie and not have to pay him over a million dollars a year.
