A play that hasn't been mentioned is the pass Trimble threw to Owens cutting into the land for the short jumper. Didn't know BT had that in his arsenal

78-73 St. John's.

Ponds goes for 40.

Very good pass, solid offseason from him could be huge for us.

Think he needs to get on the Myles Powell program - kid lost 40 plus pounds before he showed up in South Orange and totally transformed himself as a player.

Just a note and a positive thumbs up to RedmanNYC, Foad, WASJ and likely many i forgot . Clearly there were many , who totally could not comprehend my post about X ‘s and 0’s and Coach K . If you didn’t understand it and thought it a cheap shot at Coach K , you are wrong ! Mike  is the winningest Coach in College B.B. history . Class guy and what you would expect from a West Pointer .  Many Journalists use Satire to emphasize a  crucial point . Often in a absurd tense , like I did .. I purposefully used much of the Anti Mullin faction posts and words they have used much too frequently .    They knmw who they are .. Willard , SHall Coach today , had no up the sleeve strategy to stop Nova from their end of game run that turned  into a  Rout.  Is he a bad  Coach because neither he or his players had any Answers ? Of course not . Why shouldn’t Mullin be afforded the same  standard ?

Willard vs Wright is not the issue . I just think Mullin has taken some unfair abuse . A lot of it from  amateurs  posting as if they know B.B. inside and out . And , I will  pay you a rare and unlikely compliment , you do know the game . When you restrain yourself to true analysis , you have quality posts .  I also believe Mullin gets a full Amnesty on the Year 1 Record . Lavin left the til nil and when Chris was hired in April , there wasn’t much he could do in bringing in talent .  So, while it is officially on Mullin’s resume , it needs a Asterick . The post I made was Tongue in cheek . If some were offended , so be it . That’s their opinion . But, I am equally offended by the constant  and often  less than fair criticism of Mullin . Who is the best Player that St John’s has ever had . That , in itself , buys Chris a lot of wiggle room in my book .

during SH-Nova game they showed a b4 and after of Powell after transforming his body. The b4 was very similar to Trimble. Hopefully, he does likewise.

Won post game beer from my friend. I bet him a beer that Ahmed would foul a 3 point shooter.

So, why mention Willard at all? 

Mullin is also an amateur coach.  Technically, any coach on the collegiate level is considered an "amateur" coach. 

Lavin would've never left the program at the botto, if he was retained as coach.  I also can appreciate Mullin as a player for St. John's and still have it not jade my opinion of him as a coach.  They aren't mutually exclusive.

Appreciate the compliment, though!  Thanks!   👍

Lavin was unable to recruit in his last year because he had 1 year left on his contract.
