PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – New Providence basketball coach Ed Cooley vowed Wednesday to win at the school he grew up watching.
“Not only will we win here,” he said, “but we’re going to win and win big.”
Cooley, 41, is a proud Providence native who was hired on Tuesday to replace Keno Davis. A day later, Cooley, who left his post at Fairfield to take over the Friars, spoke enthusiastically to a crowd at the Mullaney Gymnasium.
Providence finished in 14th place in the Big East this season, going just 4-14 in league play. The Friars have not made the NCAA tournament since 2004.
