Carmine,
I admire your loyalty to our coach and I agree wholeheartedly with what you have argued here. However, I learned at an early age that it is useless to argue with idiots. They will never feel about St. John's basketball what you feel. They are the epitome of losers.
Man, stop it! This is all BS! Besides you said, "we'd be 3rd with Ponds, and 5th without him." Well, we had him and still didn't finish in either 3rd or 5th. So, what happened?
If you're fine waxing nostalgia and getting a woody off Mullin's playing days, then that's all well and good. Heck! I enjoyed him as a player. But if others view him differently as a coach (as, erickthered said, "you can separate both"), then you go on the attack. 98% of your posts seem to be about going on the attack of posters who merely share a difference in opinion of Mullin than you do. Nothing else. No dialogue. Just simply attacking.
Frankly, you seem like the "loser," as all of your posts are one of the same.
