Bring back Norm Roberts.

He'll be dancing

You touted the Mullin hire and and took shots at Lavin and others as he left.

That's particularly my issue with a handful here, but mainly my issue with many at Redmen.

Effing clowns made it personal with Lavin, Obekpa, and Jordan.  They acted as if their lives would change, based on what Lavin, Obekpa, and Jordan was doing (or, not doing).

Mullin may actually turn things around, but my gut tells me this probably won't end well.  If not, several will be getting their dose of karma, based on how they made things personal against those mentioned.  They should've kept it on the court and sidelines where it belong. 

Lavin deserved all the criticism he recieved and probably more.  He quit on the program and generally made a mockery of the job responsibilities. 

With the players I never felt like there was undue animosity.  I wanted them both to succeed after they left here.  As a rule I don't like bashing players on their way out.
But, if things with Jordan and CO became "personal" it's probably because it was their personal failings, and not performance on the court, that let the team down and led to their exodus.  There was no point in criticizing their play, that wasn't the issue with either of them.  Although neither had a complete game, how many players do?

Personal is personal.  There is no need to get personal with folks you don't have any, daily interactions.  I already know you're petty, and, truthfully, I knew you'd respond to my post.

Leave it to what they do the floor and sidelines.

I was agreeing with you Dinkins, I don't approve of people getting personal with the players either.
But I was providing some possible explanation for why various posters took out frustration on Obekpa and Jordan.  It was their personal failings that let them team down.  Not missing a shot or lazy defense. 
You can't say keep it on the court when those two did numerous things off the court to hinder the team... they missed practices and refused to go into games.  That makes it personal for many fans.  I'm sorry you can't understand that.

I'm using my phone, so I guess I misread it.  My apologies.

I would just like for fans to not get personal with players and coaches.

Lovett and Ponds 6-26, 9 turnovers and 5 assists.

So I guesss Ellison deserves some sort of participation trophy?

5-7 is the only stat that matters. The disease is the University.

I think we beat Depaul once and pull 1 out our hat

What they really need more guys from the inner cities - hard nose type of ball players
European ball players are nice one or two the most but they have to many on the team
Go back to playing up tempo NYC ball run and get some players that can go up strong to get to the foul line.
Make Owens and Yawakie spend at least an hour a day practicing ten foot turn around jump shots.
Ahmin has the right idea but have Mitch teach him how to drive under more control
Like when Ellison penetrates and same with ponds if they have players that these guys can kick it to out to for ten foot jump shots they would be better off
Get Mitch to teach them to go to the basket more - go back to old Big East style of play

Rutgers seems to have made a great hire. 

Yes, they hired a basketball coach.

That is fair, and a good goal for all posters.
To the extent that I go overboard speaking about Lavin, that's a mistake upon my part.  And I will reel it in.

The team will win a few more than last year just because there will be games where they will shoot it like they did during the Tulane game

Rutgers seems to have made a great hire. 

Certainly seems that way.
They'll have to recruit to take another step foward.

Seton hall also looks happy with the Willard hire. 

He's not going anywhere.

As long as he is committed to getting this right we should support him.  But he has to understand he doesn't have a bottomless well of support.  It does have limits and he is already testing them.

That's it in a nutshell.

Has this season made you question at all if Mullin has what it takes to be a head coach?

That was nice. I will try and do the same. I seem to be antagonizing many recently.
