On two occasions last season Ed Cooley was so disgusted with what he saw from his team that he walked off of the court before the final buzzer went off.

His other early exit came as the Friars’ season came to an end after a shockingly lifeless effort in the first round of the Big East Tournament against DePaul. The Blue Demons finished the season with a 2-13 mark in league play, yet they outscored Providence 35-26 in the second half.
