How many Christ the King players have you coached that have played on a Division 1 level?
Around seventy maybe.
How many to St. John’s?
Let’s see. One, two, three, four, five. (Carl Beckett, Jayson Williams, Erick Barkley, Omar Cook, Malik Boothe)
What is the main difference between recruiting styles of Fran Fraschilla, Mike Jarvis, and Norm Roberts?
The hole that was left behind for Norm put him in a tough situation to recruit. … Once they changed the situation with the dorms they killed everything.
What can you tell us about Malik Boothe that we may not know?
I don’t think there’s anything you don’t know. He’s a great leader, and he needs players around him.
Do you think his jump-shot will improve and that he’ll be a Big East caliber starting PG as a senior?
Yeah, I think so.
Sophomore center Roland Brown [on Christ the King] seems to have a lot of potential. But what does he need to improve to be a Division 1 player?
His quickness.
Do you believe Brown will improve partially with the graduation of Erving Walker and Ryan Pearson, making him a main option?
I don’t know if he’ll be the main option. I don’t think that, but I think he’ll improve.
What colleges are interested in him so far?
I think it is too early to say.
