What about it? It did appear to me that St. Jean had a large game day role on the staff. I don't care about that. The gym's janitor could help coach and I would be fine with it if they won. People said Dunlap had a huge role for the previous administration and that didn't bother me either. Why do you say it was a failure when the team improved it's record every season with him as an assistant and qualified for the tournament year 4?
When I calm down I feel bad for St. Jean. I think he gave it his absolute all here. I think he did some good things. He was great out of a timeout.I am happy that he is getting a great opportunity to learn. Not his fault he was asked to coach everything.
At the same time I am so happy that he is gone. St. John’s players are not NBA guys. They don’t shoot like them. You can’t win playing 5 guys behind the 3 point line. Everyone is not a 3 point shooter!
St. Jean didn’t know how to prepare the team against zone. He didn’t seem to have a clue coaching defense. The constant switching was sickening to watch. (Texas tech switched when I watched them, didn’t look the same)
We played such poor defense and were so soft, and rebounded terribly. (that bothered me the most) As did shot selection, position less basketball. I am so happy I will never see a player like Justin Simon spotting up for a 3 pointer on a fast break.
