Great choice.  Frankly we should have considered Louie Orr for Associate HC.  Solid coach and recruiter.   That's the type of guy Mullin needs at SJU...

Supposedly, his inability to recruit played a role in him losing his job at Seton Hall.  He was more than likely hired to be Ewing's "right hand man."  They also briefly played together for the Knicks.

Orr brings plenty of coaching experience, good hire by Patrick

We need the in-game coaching a lot more than we need another recruiter.

Orr plus two great recruiters is what we needed.

Frankly, I think we need both equally.  Hence, why I would've been all for someone like Mike Rice coming aboard (or a similar coach).

I say coaching more because if they had a guy like Rice then this squad returning should take the next step to near 20 wins. But I agree, with the lack of recruits for next year that area isn't looking great right now either.
