Excellent point. The whole conference needs to improve as is often stated on this board. Including, and especially to me, Rice, same as you feel about your teams.
I think what sets Rhoades apart so far is he comes across to me as the kind of coach who desires to earn every victory and accomplishment rather than just back into them. Either way, I guess, the accomplishment is there, but I sense a difference in how it is achieved. After games, in his post game interviews Rhoades has a lot more of "bring 'em on, bring us the next" comments than I recall hearing myself from any other recent Rice head coach. It is hard for me not to get enthusiastic about that kind of attitude. I understand not everyone responds to that attitude in the same way. I hope he keeps his post-game candor and doesn't pull back too much in the future. I find it refreshing win or lose.
