Providence Flex O, Ed Cooley and Dr. Tom

[AestroHogs]

One of my favorite YouTube basketball accounts HoopVision has a great primer on the rise and fall (and evolution) of the flex offense basically invented by Dr. Tom Davis, and used at one point by Providence Coach Ed Cooley. Watching this video is like seeing the Iowa teams of the 80s and 90s, but with different teams and players. Very cool basketball nerd history. (I’m not sure if Cooley still runs flex but the Friars don’t shoot a ton of 3s).

I am am an infrequent posting rookie...for sure...but Ed Cooley was the coach at Fairfield during Fran's time at Siena. If memory serves me..
Ed's Fairfield team had some pretty good battles with Siena during the last 2 or 3 years of Fran's tenure at Siena. Ed has been the Providence coach for at least 10 years.
