Richmond men’s basketball head coach Chris Mooney joins Spider Sound Off for an in-depth conversation on leadership, player development, and navigating the new era of college basketball.

Coach Mooney reflects on joining A-10 legends like John Chaney and Phil Martelli on the conference’s all-time wins list, shares why he believes this Richmond team can be dangerous down the stretch, and explains what the Spiders are doing well — and what they’re still chasing — on both ends of the floor.

The conversation also dives deep into the transfer portal, retention vs. roster churn, developing young players, redshirting, leadership inside the huddle, and how Richmond continues to build its program the “right way” amid constant change in college athletics.

A thoughtful, candid look at Richmond basketball — past, present, and future — straight from the head coach.

Plus: A-10 context, NET implications, roster development, and early thoughts on the transfer portal landscape.
