That is a point. But, I think most people would be more than understanding about a man taking a position that pays 3X his current salary. Also, URI and UConn are not rivals. That was the case about 40 years ago; but no longer. Most definitely, this is not a UD-X kinda thing. More likely the URI fan base is proud that they have a coach of such stature as to be coveted by top-tier schools.

URI takes BB (men's only) seriously and strives to have a good team. The school is a good A10 member. The Ryan Center is relatively new and one of the best in the A10...very nice I find the URI crowd to be courteous and mature...friendly and respectful toward opponents.

There's a lot to like about URI and RI in general. I hope everything works out for the best for URI...and for UConn.

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892. Located in southern Rhode Island, URI is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York URI currently offers 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.
