Over $348,000 a year to coach a basketball team. What a joke.

historically, its just been really hardto recruit at
uri, look at the football team over the last 30 years
look at basketbal the last 30 years, except for the
lamar years, its always beentough to recruit
even with the ryan center, its still tough,
limited student support. almost no local support.
