Yeah I saw it.  Each team held serve on their home court in this rivalry during the Mullin era. That's 1 and 1 lifetime for Mullin against one of the true blue blood programs and a hall of fame coach.

What you try to use as anti-Mullin slander is actually pro-Mullin ammunition.  You're so bad at this.

If I was in the business of bad mouthing a college basketball programs living legend on the least appropriate forum possible - I could formulate an anti-mullin argument way, way better than you can.

You think you are winning what ever so called argument we are having? Your boy was a joke. 1-1 vs duke. Who cares. The duke win means nothing when you lose 11 conference games in a row, your PG quits the team, and 2 more players transfer out. Tied for last place and get killed AGAIN in big east.

Who cares? You care.  You're the one that brought up Duke in yet another failed attempt of yours to denigrate Mullin. 

Allow me to refresh your memory; "By the way great point foady. Not quite as good as pressure defense not flummoxing opponents. Coach k did nothing complicated vs shamori ponds. Ponds and St. Jean looked plenty flummoxed."

Obviously St. Jean didn't look "plenty flummoxed" as they were beating Duke at the garden. You're so bad at this that I just can't resist setting the record straight and beating you like a drum.

I like debating. And I am far from bad at it.

Your idiot was going on and on about nonsense. 

As much fun as the duke game was it meant NOTHING! That season was one of the worst in school history. We played well for 3 games. Who cares? Last place AGAIN! Watching amar play. Not seeing yakwe get better or even get into games. Getting killed AGAIN in the big east tournament . I could list 20 more reasons why that season sucked. But not for you. You enjoyed watching st. Jean do the yeomans work of actually coaching the team. (It’s sad that you don’t know that St. Jean can’t coach for shit).

This season would have gotten ugly. Coach fxck you would Not have done well.

I am sure you remember things differently.

But your boy who brought us to the tournament and sold out the garden was SHIT CANNED!

Rationalize that!

My OPINION is that Coach Mullin would have improved his team record in season 5 and again led us to the Ncaa tournament. I formulated this opinion based on the fact that Coach Mullin improved the teams record every season in years one to four and I have no reason to surmise that that impressive trend wouldn't have continued.

Obviously there is no way to know what would have happened since it's never going to happen.  Only an idiot or We Are Nostradamus would claim such knowledge of the fictional future.

How can I remember a future that never happened?  You can't possibly be this obtuse.I am well aware that St. Johns' living legend is no longer the coach. With pleasure. Lavin, Roberts, Fraschilla, Jarvis, Mahoney...heck even Carnesecca and Lapchick departed Union and Utopia unceremoniously with their tails between their legs. No coach ever leaves here in a blaze of Glory. That's not how we do it here at the "coaching graveyard".

P.S. Even I am too young to remember Al Destefano, Buck Freeman and Frank McGuire as coaches here but I wouldn't be surprised if the same evil fate befell them too.

😂

Spot on.

St. Jean and Mullins are getting better with age!

“I never said I enjoyed watching St. Jean coach”
Carmine- he was the fxcking coach.

When Coach Carnesecca retired, he was treated pretty well from what I remember, but maybe you didn’t hear the speech that PJ gave at his retirement dinner in 1992 in Manhattan? It was quite the speech from what I recall. Plus, Coach K, Jim B, Bobby Knight, Jim Calhoun, Rollie Massimino and Rick Pitino were all there to honor Coach Carnesecca.

They probably had another retirement dinner for him in Queens, but I didn’t attend that one.

The team’s talent improved each year as well. Do you believe this year’s team would have been more talented than last year’s team?

I don't know. 

On the one hand it's difficult for me to fathom how a team minus Walden could be described as "more talented". On the other hand we'll never know if Garfunkel and Matt would have remained if Chris stayed and what Abdulamassah, who was extremely adept at the transfer game, would have pulled out of his hat last minute.

who knows.

Exactly. 

I'm not very good at predicting the future (other than a bleak one for us on Union and Utopia obviously). Astute, objective analysis of real time St. John's basketball events are my specialty.

You're the best Carmine
