Mitch Richmond needs to go!

I am fine brining in an entire new staff but that is not going to happen. We don't need  an X's and O's coach, we need a basketball coach. Bring in a young guy who has COACHED before, doesn't have 50 million in the bank, wants to work, is not just the friend of the head coach, will tell the head coach no that's a bad idea at times, and who runs so sort of offense.  Let st. Jean assist him .Mullin can be the face of the program.  Maybe he will learn something. If our head coach was anyone else every fan would agree. This team has been awful since day one when they couldn't handle the press from a division 2 team.

We were not prepared in our non conference games last year. We got out coached vs Minnesota who isn't good. We came in 8th place here . Plenty of talent to NEVER win!

Shit post of the year.

Disagree. The last coach was bashed worse after wins! And he was bashed because he wasn't a very good basketball coach and the team didn't play up to expectations. Their is no expectation of this team except to lose, not play defense, and have guard jack up 3's.

This team is pretty clueless. That's true. Still, that doesn't mean that Lavin knew what he was doing. There is only constant that always gets it wrong, and that's St.John's.

It's really tiresome hearing you bash the University.   We get it, it's a young team that is underperforming.    That doesn't mean the school is a disaster at decision making, or that the coaches need to go.

It is more tiresome that they need to be bashed 25 years after Coach retired. Sorry if you don't like it. Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

It is impossible to know at this stage whether Mullin is a good coach or not.    The sample size is so unbelievably small and he's working with  one of the youngest teams in the country.

That is fair, but my point about the University is undeniable.

Do you take Steve Pikell and his staff over ours 6 games into the year right now?

what I saw in Atlantis of Richmond impressed me.

Mid day yesterday, we noticed Richmond sitting in a corner semi shaded spot near one of the pools across from us.  A few minutes later I see Bashir Ahmed come up next to him.. they were there for what seemed at least an hour or more.

I have no idea what was said, but it was pretty clear that Richmond was coaching him as he routinely had his hands, arms etc up in demonstrative positions and speaking to him in a very direct way.   Bashir seemed to just watch and listen the entire time. 

Short while later a "hug/handshake" and they walked back off.

If anything, it's this kind of thing that players gravitate to and respect as I don't think another mid level x & o coach would get that same type of mindshare.

I give Richmond and credit.  He doesn't need this and what he and zMullin may lack in coaching experience they might make up for in respect.

I get your point Johnny23, that wasn't my intent that he's doing us a favor...

Rather that no coach is perfect, experienced or not and it's showing that our guys need to do a lot more listening and learning....and hearing it from a guy who had been there doesn't hurt.

It's painful to watch but more to be encouraged by than throwing arms up and saying get a new staff and players
