http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/141217768Q: After non-conference wins against Siena and Temple, many thought St. John's could be at least in the middle of the Big East pack. What has gone wrong?
A: I thought they would have some good pieces. I am a big fan of D.J. Kennedy, he's a really good player and they had some new players who came in. But it's so hard to climb the ladder in that league. You can play well against the top half of the league and lose, you can't say that about most conferences. They got punched in the stomach a couple of times in the Big East and it's just hard to recover.
Q:Do you think Norm Roberts will be the coach next year?
A: I really have no idea. Everybody now wants to play the A-list TV schedule and have packed houses and all that. Is that kind of thing concerning? Absolutely. I am the last guy who likes to see coaches get a hard time, especially really good ones, and I think Norm is a really good coach and a great guy. I just hope they can pick it up a little bit.
