Jon Rothstein 1 on 1 with Lavin

Some of you guys are miserable. We are getting national exposure. Instead of being happy or proud their are complaints. Being critical is fine when it is warrented.

Never has a statement been so true. It is a shame that people would be happier if St. John's sucked this year cause it would make them right. After this year Coach Lavin in 5 year would have taken St. John's to 2 NIT & 2 NCAA's. With his Health and Family issues he has done a good job overall, not great but good. I think St. John's future looks bright as part of the new Big East. I hope Coach Lavin is at St. John's for the next 10 years. Go St. John's

The NIT means jack. Can we stop calling it postseason basketball and making it seem like an accomplishment? * We saw how much it meant to the players and even the coach last year.

People enjoy college basketball and follow their favorite team differently. Some are very positive and outwardly express joy at the surprisingly good beginning. Some enjoy complaining and being extremely critical of the team even when things are going very well. Many fall somewhere in between. Neither is right or wrong and one group are not better fans than the other. So don't worry about it. If you want to judge fans there is only one criteria that really matters. How many games you attend (if able to). Period!

He made the decision this August to concentrate on baseball. He transferred in order to keep playing college basketball, because his coach kicked him out.

Again, why would he "kick" out Amir and not some other lesser value player on the team? I'm not buying it and nothing anyone has said answers that most important question. I would have found the door for Jones before letting Amir go. Amir left on his own accord.

Amir was buried on the bench behind Sir'Dom and Jakarr his sophomore year, with the addition of Hooper and Sanchez at his position and with Sheed coming in which would shift another guard to Amir's position there just wasn't any playing time available. Christian was willing to redshirt so he was more valuable.

Marco, Felix? I dont buy amir getting the push.

I'm not saying he made the wrong choice and I'm aware he is strictly playing baseball now but he left SJU with the intention of still playing basketball. To say he left SJU for professional baseball is a flat out lie. He left because we had too many players under scholarship and he was the player Lavin needed the least.

Dave-if original plan was Amir for only 2 years because he would go to NBA obviously those plans had to be revised so still doesn't explain the transfer to continue playing basketball at another school.

And folks think Rysheed is delusional...at no point did Amir display any ability that projected NBA...unless that is a typo and you meant MLB...

Garret came from Findaly Prep and around a top 40 player out of HS. Ranked around Harkless. Not much higher then Jordan.
