Mas may be the best long term. But I think he would be the worst short term and that includes Lavin.


SJU his dream job--just the same thing FF said and he was shopping himself by the end of year 2.  Mas is not the answer; his non conference and reg season records should be looked at.  Danny, while not my choice, is heads above him in coaching experience.

Bottom line is get a HC ASAP as we need to get into the recruiting arena NOW or next year will be a disaster.

We never really got a straight story on why Fran was fired. I've always believed that Harrington saw the success he was having, and didn't want the program to get too much attention, so he leaked some ridiculous BS complaint about Fran pulling his pants down to show Felipe and Zendon what ball looked like because apparently they didn't know what they were.

Actually, I think both Felipe and Z knew what balls were because they knew who Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Kerry Kittles and John Wallace were.


Fran was let go because he showed no loyalty, that was from the horses's mouth

Anything to the pitino angle? Feels like someone making a story to grab some headlines
http://m.nydailynews.com/sports/college/rubin-st-john-eye-louisville-coach-rick-pitino-article-1.2165956

No one would accuse Roger Rubin of that right?

I think Pitino is trying to talk up someone from his coaching tree

I disagree there…

Never underestimate Coach P's love of all things NYC. Including his wife's desire to be back in New York area.

Could be the "last challenge" of his distinguished career and his monster ego would love every second of making SJU truly great again. I think its unlikely but not impossible, especially when you have a billionaire backer of the program pushing you to do it.

The one thing with Coach Pitino at this point, it would not be how much SJU could pay him. He is an extremely wealthy and successful person away from basketball. Taking this job would be to show everyone he thinks he is the best in the business.

Rick Pitino is a repulsive disgusting abomination of a human being and a tortured little dwarf. But he's also too smart to take this job.

The guy left the knicks right before they were going to get good to go to kentucky. Now he is going to leave Louisville which is also a great college town to come to Union Turnpike. He either really likes bagels or some of you are crazy.

What is digging deep? I'm not sure he's as big of a donator as people make him out to be. Not to say he isn't a fan or a donator but his contributions may not be as legendary as the internet claims.

In total he hasn't contributed even 500k over the past 6 years. Even if he doubled that what is getting done with that?

I thought your connections were to the basketball community?

With information like that you would need connections within SJU.

Or he wasn't a AD or prior President fan...It would be dangerous for SJU to have only one donor that totally invested in the program. That is a whole hell of a lot of influence. More donors need to become involved in the program as well. SJU needs to show that they are committed as well.
