I was just asking how is just making the tournament considered a success with this team this year

Because were St. John's, that's how.  We've been to the tournament once in the last 13 years.  Any time we crack the final 68 it's a break out the bubbly fire up the marching band event.

Perhaps that's part of the reason the reason we've been so mediocre this past. If mediocrity is accepted there's no motivation to become great

We haven't been mediocre.  We've been bad.  If we were to start making the tournament on even a semi-regular basis,  than the fanbase might elevate their expectations to include an Ncaa win.

The link is from the WSJ that talked about the new SJU Preisdent...I defiantly think he will be engaged more in basketball operations. Being a quant guy he is definitely into stats and numbers.http://www.wsj.com/articles/st-johns-moves-on-from-scandal-with-first-lay-president-1423878184

can you post the article?
If you good it you probably be able to pull up the whole article. That's what I did to read the whole thing.

All these "what ifs".. Just let it play out..    What if they get in and somehow win two games?  Then he is a great coach and deserves one?  IF they get in and lose a 1st rounder at the buzzer he should be fired?   Makes no sense...  Let the damn thing play out. 

 Brining in a Hurley or a Massielo next year isn't changing the program overnight.. If you think it will, you are lost...

Couldn't agree more

Read Zach B's column in today's Post-Lavin thinks it is a positive that SJU fans are saying "get rid of the coach".

I must've missed the "fire the coach" chants.    What game did he hear them at?
Or, is Lavin reading the message boards, or hearing that some prominent alumni are no longer on his side..

The funny thing is Lavin thinks its a sign that the program is now relevant (thanks to him in his mind) that the fans call for his head after a loss. He must not have heard the Fire Norm chants from Bristol

He is an eternal optimist...Maybe if this whole coaching thing doesn't work out he can go into politics. He is a spin master...

I find his personality annoying like most you. However the players seem to like him. To us Hammer to Rock is silly. The players believed in it.

Congratulations, many awards are still up for grabs, but without a doubt you are the Troll Of The Season.   

Was there a reason to revive this thread?  Of course not.

Desco, we have a honest,  or on my part,  an honest disagreement.  As anyone on this site knows, u  irrationally hate Coach Lavin.  I don't.  I feel sorry for you.  Fortunately, it's never too late to grow up.

I am sorry your hatred of the Coach for whatever reason gets in the way of you enjoying an enjoyable season.  Where you get your sense of entitlement about what you have a right to expect as a fan is a wonder to me.

Please send me my plaque for troll of the year.  And there was a reason: You owe Coach Lavin and his staff an apology.

It's good to revisit the lies and distortions.  Just look at the first post on this thread.

I must've missed something, did Lavin get an extension?

You missed lavin resigning as you said on this thread.  You missed Jordan leaving.  You missed diallo going to knetucky and on and on and on....even a broken jock is right twice a day.

Diallo signed here too?

And Jordan did leave, a few times.

Plenty of time to rehash all of this in the offseason.

Baldi:

"Thanks Coach Lavin, good luck

    Quote

Hearing this is done deal. Time for both parties to move on. Get Massiello on the phone ASAP."

Baldi, just about one year since you misled us.  You will be right...... some day....... he will resign....just not last year and highly unlikely this year......and Diallo is not going to Kentucky as of this moment....and Jordan did not quit the team and....and.....and.

And when desco gives me my award i promise to give it to its rightful owner.

Baldi, if you werent trolling your obvious answer would be that he was gone but saved his ass with a run no one saw coming.  If you were trolling, you'd be defensive.

You sound defensive...want to adjust?

And if I said that, someone would say why is this being discussed now on the verge of our first NCAA tournament in years.  Kids don't deserve this, blah blah, blah.

There is nothing to adjust. There is no contract extension. Lavin has a lot of bridges to mend
