It looks like they're gonna have a hard time with Myles and with getting rebounds.

Lots of turnovers, layups and dunks.

Don't know if this means great job security or who the hell cares what happens on the court.

Ruud Lutterman? Honorable mention all names team.

Ruud Lutterman sounds like one of two things to me: Either a one-episode character on an episode of the Simpsons... or one of the players on the RU roster when they first played Princeton in that famous rugby-style game.

They care. He entered the 2019-20 season with a career coaching record of 580-457 for a .559 winning percentage in 36 total years. In his 31 seasons leading the Cougars, Corino has amassed a record of 485-409. The university dedicated the playing floor at the George R. Newman Center in honor of Corino for his extensive contributions to the department as the director of athletics and as the head coach of the men’s basketball program. Mark A. Corino Court was officially dedicated on December 8, 2018 that featured speeches from Caldwell President Dr. Nancy Blattner, and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Commissioner Dan Mara as well as special proclamations from Caldwell Mayor Ann Dassing and West Caldwell Mayor Joe Tempesta Jr.



This video (shot 12/8/18) is sad, knowing Dennis Gregory passed away just three weeks later. Gregory, who was Caldwell's Associate AD at the time, is seen throughout the video.

No, RU is not in Essex County (unless you are talking about RU-N). We are in central Jersey

So he's been the HC ever since they went Co-Ed? It was a women's college till the mid 80's.
