Just heard Mark Jackson with Michael Kay--He is extremely positive about Chris coaching at SJU.  said Chris probably knows more than any coach he has dealt with.  Talked about what Louie did for the players--more than coach but also made them men with life experience.  Believes Chris will do the same (hear that Rasheed).
Mark deflected the question about his becoming coach 5 years ago or currently with wonderful handling.  Last question was regards to 1985 and Kay said he felt we would have won it all if Mark started which he handled like a well school politician but we know and agree with what he really feels :)

Pretty darn good story on Chris!  Impressive!

I think she is right on about the fan base coming to life, both physically (to attend games) and financially (donations).

I know a lot of family that went to SJU and they are already talking about getting together to go to one game and even some of them are talking about donating to the program...That's just at the basic level. If he can hit the ground running he can really draw in big donors and alumni.

Ironically Lavin got crushed for teaching life lessons, making men. It's all about the W's

Underperforming and having no team for next year with one year remaining on a contract didn't help either...

Lavin was good to the kids, probably too good that some took advantage.

Better for a coach to be tough and fair, a good balance

Has anyone watched the Dean Smith documtary, wow his players loved him.

But again it gets down to the W's as Dave alluded to

The President sent a letter to all students and staff to invite them to the press conference tomorrow. He also encouraged everyone to wear red to welcome home Mullin.

Exciting times to be a Johnny!

Yes, because a coach does not make basketball players into men. He makes them into better basketball players. Sometimes.

if you register, it appears you're in. There's even an "other" category for non- alumni.

it's not who we heard of, but who the students would know and like. There was a discussion like this for Turgeon first MM too - lol.  I knew who J cole was because he was just emerging on the scene. He played at UK's MM At that time. I think Drake performed there too

Thank you. He is making a nice splash in the music world. Probably Poison didn't know he also is a SJU alum. Anyway, I just threw out his name because one of his songs was playing on the radio as I was typing.
