Title: Mike Anderson's contract
Post by: Redy2Rumble on January 19, 2022, 01:50:45 AM
Why aren't there any details on Anderson's contract anywhere?

Cragg will get burned. It's going to be interesting to see when the new President gets tired of being middle of the pack and brings in his guy.

It will be interesting in the sense that it's what happens at St.John's.

What are the terms of the deal? How much is he getting paid? What is his buyout?

I know nothing will happen because Mike Cragg is an amateur and he has to stand behind his decision.

If this team doesn’t make the tourney he should go. Half court offense and defense haven’t improved since he arrived.

I was a St Jean guy a few years ago. I don’t know that he would’ve been the answer, but it should have been a young, hungry coach. We aren’t going to get a quality established coach, we’ll get someone with warts like Lavin or Anderson (and I’d take Lavin back in a heart beat between the two).

It definitely matters if they negotiated a buy out. This school cannot afford to fire another coach and pay out  a salary for 3 years.

We can’t just keep firing guys and expecting better. We lead the country in coaching firings over the last 25 years. The only guy that should have been fired in that so is Norm Roberts.

Calling for Anderson's scalp is absurd. Yes, the results this season are disappointing thus far, but we've only lost one game where the team was favored. Partly a product of the non-conference scheduling, which is absolutely worthy of criticism along with last offseason's recruiting haul. But other than Pitt without Julian and the margin of loss last night, we really have not performed much worse than a reasonable outsider would expect to date. Missed opportunities, no doubt, but wins at Creighton, at UConn, or at Providence would literally have been upsets. Recalibrating expectations is in order, crappy as that is. I also feel pretty confident that this team will string together a few wins to make it interesting.

Missing the tournament would totally stink but that is no basis for a coaching change absent a complete collapse down the stretch. I like coach, I like the players he has brought in to date, I like the style of play, and I like the institutional stability he brings to the program. We should be looking to Seton Hall as the blueprint for long term success here, and unfortunately that probably means a longer arc rebuild than we would all prefer, and it means doing whatever it takes to bring in the talent level required to win.

St. John's made their bed and now they're gonna lay in it. When Mike Anderson was hired I compared it to Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech and that's pretty much what we've been so far. We'll be 18-20 win team that's fringe NCAA tournament with a consistent floor and limited ceiling.

This was Mike Anderson calling card and why Arkansas ultimately moved on from him. I think the school is ok with that which is why they gave him the extension to cement that floor.

No shot does the school fire Anderson. Have to hope that recruiting improves. I think we have enough talent to win but I've been very disappointed in distribution of minutes and rotations this year. I'm concerned players are losing faith.

I’m not up for firing coaches, but I’d be very happy with Pitino if he could commit to 5 years here. That’s the only sure way to right this ship.
Title: Re: Mike Anderson's contract
Post by: Redy2Rumble on January 20, 2022, 12:34:27 PM
I don't think anyone expects Anderson to be dismissed this year. The reality here is that Cragg made his bed and we'll suffer as fans. It was such an uninspiring hire. It was a safety net. It's how St. John's operates. It's a systemic issue. The reason some of us have such a short leash is because we know how this story goes. We are irrelevant under this coaching staff.

This was his year though. Champaigne in year 3 along with Posh and a roster of his guys. All we heard was how they upgraded. The truth is he doesn't know how to even use the guys he has in place. Hes so in love with his philosophy that he never adjusts and doesn't allow players to excel. His rotations and sub patterns are mind boggling.

Anderson stinks: he's a lazy recruiter and an atrocious in game coach whose vaunted style of play (aka "the system") hasn't worked since the dawn of the internet. The players are mediocre except for Posh: JC is a one trick pony - the only league he'll play in is in Serbia; Wusu will be good, eventually; the rest of them are cast-offs from the island of misfit toys. The only reason he brings "institutional stability" is because dopey Mike Cragg gave him what's essentially a lifetime contract. Imagine that you're making the most important decision of your career and you call Jeff Capel for advice, and then even worse, you follow it. Too bad he couldn't get Cherokee Parks or Sheldon Williams on the phone, things might have turned out differently. Oh well. On the bright side his original hot takes Bobby Hurley and Porter Moser are both languishing in 9th place, so I suppose that's some cold comfort.

OTOH I agree that you can't fire him. Not because he doesn't deserve it, he does, he stinks, he should never have been hired. But they can't get rid of another coach - it'd be an  admission of incompetence that Cragg doesn't have the stomach for: he'd have to resign in disgrace and the program would become more of a laughingstock than it is currently.

Should have kept Lavin. Should have kept Mullin. Needed to fix the problems rather than blow it up.

Anderson will be consistent which is what I think the school wanted. Never be bad and potentially could be good.

Consistent in what sense? This isn't the young Arkansas guy. It's year 3 now and no tournament with a mediocre class coming minus Champ and eventual transfers.

No pressure at all against Creighton.

Only pressed during the final minutes against Seton Hall minus Bryce Aiken.

It's baffling that Mike Anderson did not use a clear advantage on an opponent and attack it. It almost feels like he has checked out.

The scouting is incomprehensible. What does TJ Celevland really do?

We are the least athletic team in the Big East by a wide margin. This is also the least athletic team we’ve had a St. John’s since I’ve been following.

Champagnie can’t guard anyone. He has a very laid back style on defense. Posh is an animal. Wusu is somewhat too although he’s limited in quickness. Wheeler is a terrific athlete bit frail. It just seems we don’t have guys suited for the style.

I think it was realistic to think we would be on the bubble after last season and the experienced transfers that were brought in.

Coburn averaged 15 a game with very good shooting #s in a solid conference and Stef Smith scored double-digits and even beat St. John’s with a good game. Both are very experienced too. They’ve done next to nothing.

Mathis bas been good. Soriano has been solid and looks promising.

That’s a lot of experience and production to bring in. It certainly looked like an upgrade on paper.

The biggest thing is there don’t seem to be any team wide improvements. Sure some individual players have gotten better but it hasn’t worked out to improve the group.

It’s reasonable to expect an NCAA tournament berth or at least be on the bubble when you have the freshman/defensive player of the year and the conference leading scorer both returning.

LOL!  No my screen name is in tribute to the legendary Sex Pistols singer aka John Lydon.
Yes, if this year's results are duplicated next season coupled with mediocre recruiting  he will definitely be on the hot seat.
However, remember that some of the losses this year were due to key player absences.  I am not a fan of coach Anderson's in game coaching and substitutions but he gets paid the big bucks and I am a casual sofa coach.
This discussion always takes place when St. John's underperforms which is a perennial issue. :)
Over on the redmen.com board it has been the topic du jour forever.  I don't give much credence to what I read since it is the same characters who post the same thing daily.
Most of them are innocent observers to our annual train wreck but a few are bona fide sociopaths like Ohio Fan who has universal veto authority and Beast of the East who forensically tries to figure out personal information about you to leverage his influence over the Ohio misfit. It is almost comical to read their comments blasting anyone not in their tiny circle of friends.
I rarely have posted there because you never know what side of the loyalty issue they take as they turn on the team, coaches and each other depending on the teams performance.
I checked this site last year and early this season and thought it was abandoned because  JJ was a topic this Fall on redmen.  I was happy to see posters coming on again because St. John's fans deserve more than the stymied viewpoints that has become redmen.com.
I always enjoyed reading fans like Marillac and Fun and few others but it appears they fell victim the Ohio nut job.

I think best case scenario is some recruits come in, leads to a decent season next year and he resigns.

I didn’t follow Anderson before so I don’t know what worked then, but it ain’t working now. This system would work well with Lavins recruits btw.

If both Champagnie and Wheeler leave and no front court replacement is signed who can make an immediate impact I don't see much better results next season because we wouldn't have forwards who can score up front.  Schools like Rutgers and Seton Hall are outrecruiting us for talented front court players.
I don't think he is capable of closing on 4 or 5 star players and 2 and 3 star players will keep St. John's in the lower half of the league.
If he goes four seasons without an NCAA tournament bid he should be fired.

Welcome to the board.

God forbid you have a difference of opinion on Yesmen.com. They were so busy up Mike Anderson's ass, acting like he was a program changer that the site became unbearable. Several of us have been beating the drum here since the beginning that Anderson wasn't a good fit and his best years have long past him.

Anderson will 100% get a 4th year and probably even a 5th year. St. John's hoops will fade further into oblivion. Our only hope is Father Shanley stepping up.

I've never heard of "Marillac" but that Fun guy was hilarious.

Sadly, they banned every poster that made redmen.com readable. It went completely downhill in 2020 when three Woke "moderators" began a purge of fans that had expressed moderate political views on a non-basketball thread related to the upcoming presidential election.
From that point on those fans were targeted on the basketball forum and the slightest dissent from the norm of opinions was edited or deleted.
Ironically, the Woke girls there were offended by posters like the greatest humorist of all time on a college basketball forum, Fun, while protecting the integrity of a site called "REDMEN". 
Sadly, the ones responsible for turning redmen.com into a hermit kingdom were mods like OhioFan, Redmennorth and Lawmanfan.  These Woke mods have a few Stasi storm troopers who regularly report posters. The leader of Stasi is a pompous blowhard named Beast of the East who has a double personality. The result is they basically all agree with each other and regurgitate the same topics of blame to enforce those beliefs.
Kudos to the owner of this site for allowing a more open discussion. 
Finally, those who failed to see the humor in Fun's posts on redmen.com missed their relation to the comedic management of the St. John's basketball program over the last 20 years.
If you want to really make the redmen.com mods heads explode request that FOAD write a weekly editorial here on JJ.

The RM moderators run a kindergarten. OhioFan is a bag of sh*t. I was banned once for saying something slightly unkind to Moose — who is a friend in real life.

Then I was suspended for having the audacity to talk back to another moderator during my “second chance.” OhioFan sent me some impossibly c*nty, condescending message about shots at moderators not being tolerated. He actually wrote that the moderators had a special privilege above other posters.  He added that it was “not open for debate.” The only response there was to tell him to fvck himself and that I hoped he died.

I have an issue with authority to begin with, so following orders from volunteer hall monitors like that is just not possible for me.

They lock threads if they anticipate it going off the rails. WTF is that? What kind of remedy is that?

The mod on RM known as OhioFan is a bona fide sociopath.
I know there are a few fans on that site that are borderline psychotic but this guy thinks he speaks for all mods and makes unilateral decisions on right and wrong.

I think he has that power because he may be a seminary dropout like Paul.  Beast of the East is another odd ball.
Recently a guy named Proud Alum has been posting and it appears that he may be the alter ego of either OhioFan or Beast. 
It's like watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Sadly, the ones responsible for turning redmen.com into a hermit kingdom were mods like OhioFan, Redmennorth and Lawmanfan.  These Woke mods have a few Stasi storm troopers who regularly report posters. The leader of Stasi is a pompous blowhard named Beast of the East who has a double personality. The result is they basically all agree with each other and regurgitate the same topics of blame to enforce those beliefs.
Kudos to the owner of this site for allowing a more open discussion. 
Finally, those who failed to see the humor in Fun's posts on redmen.com missed their relation to the comedic management of the St. John's basketball program over the last 20 years.
If you want to really make the redmen.com mods heads explode request that FOAD write a weekly editorial here on JJ.

This is funny to read. The moderators there are definitely not St. John's finest alumni. They play favorites and have double standards, cater to armchair experts groupthink, and abide by some crude trains of thought. That said, Beast of the East is a good man who does a lot for St. Johns.

Proud Alum, Beast and OhioFan have a threesome thing going on.  This unholy trinity isn't fooling anyone.
OhioFan is the terminator. This thinned skinned skin head arbitrary bans fans whose posts he personally dislikes.  He must have something on the site owner.

Haha! OhioFan can't stand me. I think you've misread things quite a bit.

This is definitely St. John's T-shirt guy aka NJLovett from Twitter

I like Beast. I also like Paul and I think that’s mutual. Mkras is cool as well. Paultz is fine too, but he can’t take any ball-busting AT ALL. And he’s protected like he’s the group shaman or something.

OhioFan is a bag of sh*t and really hurts that site big time. He PM’d me, “hey lay off Cragg if you know what’s good for you.” Meanwhile, it was fashionable to rail on Mullin at the same time. He should be stripped of his pseudo power and then his fat ass should be stripped on real life, tarred and feathered before our next home game, then someone should slap a strap-on over his ugly face to look like a beak, and send him out as Johnny Thunderbird for the game.

I should qualify- not ALL moderators there are bad. But they have more than a few, along with some favored posters, that are low level.

In my earlier days on BEB I always got you, mkras, mjmahar, and mcnpa mixed up. I’m sure thats offensive on some level lol.

Whichever board has the most St. John’s discussion is the best board. Simple as that for me.

Haha my ass!  You targeted two rookies recently and worked with Ohiofan to ban them.  You're a redmen.com insider and now come snooping here.
You are obsessed with the fear that Fun (Foad) will return in some form.
Are you still taking satellite pictures of people's mailboxes?

BEB in its prime was the best forum by a mile. What a run it enjoyed.

I expect more posters to migrate here from RM as the losses mount since there is no ability to speak openly there.

No theory pal!  Your posts on redmen.com clearly align with OhioFan and especially Beast.
Tell the fans here when you joined redmen.com and when you started to post.  Who is able to manipulate the content of that forum, delete posts and delete members????
Come out of the closet!
