Now we know why SJu is waiting until after the season to talk about extensions.

Being evaluated at end of season.   You may get your wish.   Although some day making the Tourney was the mandate.   .
Any new info?  Please share

I could see a situation where we lose bad round one.  Staff is evaluated, offered an extension ( a lowball) one , and Lavin decides to walk.   Definitely.  I'm indifferent at the moment.  I'd support an extension or a parting.   I don't think things would be significantly better or worse with new staff.

Serious question. Is anyone seeking Lavin?  Why offer extension?

Lavin walk? Even if his salary was cut in half, where else could he earn that kind of money?

You want a lame duck next year.  Might as well fire him then.  Can't recruit without a contract.  Do we really need to rehash this crap again?

Year 6 coming bro. We shouldn't be in recruiting to build a team

I am fine firing him, but don't want to lose the recruits.

 Again, that irrelevant.   Fire him then.  Either fire him or extend.  You can't recruit anyone if you can't tell a kids parents you will be there for 3-4 years.  Everything else is irrelevant. 

I personally don't care either way.  I won't lose any sleep if he's here or not.

Are you happy where the team is now?

I am not a big Lavin supporter but this is a ridiculous discussion at this time. We are definitely in the tournament and not in materially worse seeding shape after the loss.

Not particularly.   Then again, I'm down on college basketball in general.

It's not just St Johns.  Pretty much the whole thing is bad.  The quality of basketball , particularly offensively , is horrendous  and often unwatchable .

I've always been a huge CBB fan. Last couple of years I've migrated back to NBA.  So much better.  Imagine guys actually make shots?  Crazy, I know. 

So in summation,  not happy about St Johns.   Not happy about CBb in general.  The result,  I don't really care who coaches here unless its Calipari, Pitino or a handful or others,  nothing will substantially change around here.

We will never be a national power.

Perspective doesn't exist here.

My friend texted me this morning saying how he hopes we're in the Kentucky bracket. And I replied how I would kill him if we were.

He then reminded me that if he told me that at the beginning of the year we would lose to Kentucky in the second (third) round of the tourney how ecstatic would I be that we won a game in the tournament?

That's probably why I didn't take today too harshly. Let's win a game next week.

My sentiments exactly... doesn't matter if its Lavin or some other name, results will be same.  They have been for decades

In regards to CBB it is unwatchable, was a huge fan now have very little desire or patience to watch the product that is out there now.
Although, can't stand the NBA either, fun watching individual ability but that's all it is
