I'm too lazy to read it in a newspaper for myself, so I will ask the board to inform me what URI's AD has done that Xavier is finding so attractive. It's obviously not his ability to manage a basketball program.

Apparently he sits on NCAA Division I women's rowing committee.

Is that it?

Makes sense, thanks.

I believe a serious answer is URI arena and Cintas are comparable and ticket/event sales are better criteria than coach selection; but then again maybe there is a Hurley in XU future.

If he was recommended by Bobinski and has the support of the basketball staff, then I'm not concerned.

I'm sure they have found many things about him that they like. I'd just be interested in knowing what those things happens to be.

His name is Thorr Bjorn. Come on people. This man is easily the best choice.

I HATE dayton.

Hurley was pushing that team pretty hard. I didn't think his body language was all that good towards the end of the year.

Considering the serious lack of talent on that URI team, it was pretty impressive how close he kept them in most of their conference games in his first year.

From a URI fan on the A10 board:

"If the rumor that URI's AD Thorr Bjorn has already accepted the job at Xavier, it is a bit of a conflict of interest if he is at the meetings and voting. There could be some legitimate concnern on whose iterest he was voting on behalf of (URI or Xavier?)."

dana's spot on: if Mike ID'd him and Mack likes him, he's the right choice.

What an odd thought process.

Thorr is at the meetings as an employee of URI.

I love messageboards, just toss whatever thought that pops into your mind and then assume a conspiracy.

That mystery call with 1.4 seconds remaining was a conspiracy by the A-10 to punish us for bolting.

The refs also called a mysterious technical foul on Brad Stephens today...who never gets a T. Right now, Butleris hanging on against LaSuck. 6 points up with 13:50 to go. #conspiracytheory
