• 4:57 AM Harvey Williams on Jimmy Adams, former URI star and coach of dominant Central High hoops teams, dies

  I first met coach Adams(JA)in 1970 at Central High School.I was a sixteen year old,cowboy boots wearing,hick from Virginia.Loretta Brown a cheerleader introduce us and told JA I wanted to play basketball.He said,"lose the boots,find some Chuck Taylor's and be in the gym at 3:00. That was the first of many times that he change and guided my life.Looking back now,having no father of my own,I wish I would have listen more. To the Adams family;Remember,Jimmy was apart of God's family before he was apart of your(God says, "I knew you before I form you in the womb.)If you miss him so much in just 8-days, can you imagine how God felt having to wait 73-years to hold him again? Let thou will be done. All my love, Harvey

  Coach Adams was a fine person and a good coach. He was the backfield coach at Central High School under head coach Tom Caito when I played there. He was also head basketball coach and I played briefly for him in that sport. Looking back, I wish I had stayed with basketball and played for him. Central's remarkable run in basketball started while I was a student there. Jim Adams will be missed.

  J A was an incredible coach but more importantly a great man. It was my great fortune to play for him and coach with him, but most importantly to be a friend of this giant!

• 10:20 PM sonar on PC to play hoops tournament in Cancun

  Trust me Phantom, newspapers aren't circling the drain because they don't do enough 20-character "Tweeting," microblogging or other social-media sawdust nonsense.....it's because they don't cover real news in real depth anymore...

  Great review, thanks for sharing. I heard that Michael and Kyrie killed it up there. I am looking forward to next year as they should be the best 1-2 combo in high school ball.

  I'm glad the flagship newspaper in Rhode Island is getting the latest news about PC hoops from Twitter. Any wonder why newspapers are going out of business.

  Irish, PC was actually very pleased with the response to last year's seat license increase. They had a better than 80% renewal, probably better than they could have hoped for in the current economy. As for the radio shows, travel to road games you bring up..only a handful of fans do either. That is irrelevent.

  Joe, the roughly 3,000 season ticket holders control the 7,000 or so season tickets. As you can imagine, most people buy 3,4 or even 10 season tickets.

  Well maybe a either a lot dropped out with having to the "tax", "fee" "donation" on top of the ever escalating prices for the seats or they mailed the letters only to the top donators on the list. Regular season ticket holders are looked down if they don't go to all of coach's shows, to all the road games (in the Northeast at least) etc. Don't forget what the future costs will be to pay off all the bonds issued for the renovating of The Dunk, including the cost over-runs. Hopefully Keno can build the kind of program that Mullaney did and Gavitt did and Barnes could have done if given the chance.

  3,000 ? I could of sworn our season ticket base was between 7,000-8,000. Unless that's just premium seating.

  Yeah, poor high-major big-shot playing with maximum national visibility. Right! There's no excuse for striking a woman. WVU will drop him and he'll end up somewhere.. hopefully not at URI.

  How did Brett Roseboro look? Any more to the rumor that he may attend a prep school and forgo his Marquette commitment?

  The Expressions 16-u team was lead by point guard Tyler Strange ( # 15 ) who, without question , was the best defender in the gym ( 16 or 17's ) on Sunday . The kid locked down the New Heights pg's and Albany CR's point guard in the semifinal and finals . Without his D , the City Rocks would have won the championship. Should have been some mention of that .

  Kev, What shaking down at URI? The silence in Kingston is as loud as I can remember it? Is Baron a lame duck coach at this point in time as far as recruits are concerned or did he simply lose a guy he cannot replace in Skerry? Of course the option is there in that all is well in Kingston and the "silent are mighty". Which one is it?

• 3:14 AM buy wow gold on What Happened to Rhody?

  Yes, I'm very disappointed with the new look and as an avid fan of the team, I would suggest that they better create a new concept that is better with the current design if they don't want to hear some more rants.
