He is chasing the cash like they all do after all the Bull about family etc. Spent more time arguing with refs than coaching his team. Showed in the Duke game. Veteran team blown out by freshman and didn't compete. You would think with all the great games last week his team would show up and they didn't. Good move for Rhody.

I think he is going to struggle some at UConn, he has some coaching defiencies.
But, I think he is a good recruiter and a good motivator.
He will do OK at UConn, but I do not think that he is a great coach. I think Archie is better than Hurley.
Not a good move for
Rhody though, they would be better off if he was still at Rhody, but they obviously were not able to hold onto him.
I wonder if there are any notable external candidates interested in replacing him, even though Cox is apparently replacing him.
Good luck to Rhody.
