Why?

The program can do better, especially if Coach Mullin wants Slice on the staff

Is there a rift between Pinckney and Slice?

Not that I know of. .  but what roles does Pickney play if he brings in 2 main recruiters.

Ed was not blowing anyone away during his time at Villanova.

game planning/scouting opponents?   Maybe that's what he does for the Bulls

But I see what you're saying.   I just don't think a lot of good coaches will want to be the 4th fiddle in the band.

George Blaney type?

does he coach big men?

Thibodeau is arguably a top 3-5 coach in the NBA....I find it hard to believe somebody that has been on his staff for 5 years wouldn't be a valuable asset.

I'll trust Mullin on Pinkney if that his choice.

does he coach big men?

And as for this question, I don't know, but if he does...look at the resurgence of Pau Gasol this year and the MVP caliber year Joakim Noah had last year.

That to me is it in a nutshell. If he's good enough to be on Thibodeau's staff, he most certainly must bring some value. Additionally, Thibodeau is one of the top defensive minds in the league, I'm sure Pinkney picked up plenty of defensive principles and teaching methods during his time there. Can't see anything negative if he should come on board.

He shouldn't mind being John Paul Jones, or Ringo

Chris Mullin has been busy recruiting & putting staff together. Sources say he's contacted Kentucky's Barry Rohrrsen and Iona's Jared Grasso

Ugh. Yup

Backup plan in case slice has change of heart?

@mabde33: Well the last 72 hrs have been a blur. A lot accomplished in a short time. Couldn't be more excited about the future #newyorksteam #STJBB

So, what's the noise on the Iona board about Grasso?

Grasso

Backup plan or "The Guy"?

I want slice 100% but Grasso also a recruiting demon.  I still think Slice is coming...

@TheBBallDiary: Hearing Barry Rohrssen to St John's. But do not know the logic behind it.

SIAP.   Hopefully this guy knows what he's talking about.  I love matt and could see grasso being good here but our head coach  is great friends with one of the nation's top recruiters who's at least thinking about how nice coming home would be.  I'd hate to see all those aligned stars go to waste.  Slice changes the game for sju period
