I was just as excited as everyone. I taped the press conference. I got to CA early, sat in the third row. Next to mulllin’s family. 1 row ahead of Matt’s wife. I still have pictures on my phone from the St. Thomas game. I heard about Slice for years. Was very excited he was with us also.
That lasted until the game started. Words can’t describe how bad it was. 3 statues and a kid stomping his feet. It was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. Instead of Deangelo Harrison and dom pointer we had this shit. I kept quiet on this board for a few weeks.
I didn’t want to start a fight. (That’s probably unbelievable now) After incarnate word, I completely had enough. It was obvious the hero wasn’t doing any coaching. Neither was slice. After 5 games I didn’t even see Matt cough.
You all know what happened next. 20-59. Which is worse then norm’s record. Under the circumstances it is actually better then I would have guessed. He was that bad. Whatever love some of you may have for him. I have equal hate. Lazy ass is way to nice of a name for him.
Factor in slice, Mitch, and St. Jean, how many losses did those men contribute to?
I might not agree with Tony on a lot but I cant ague with this because literally the first time I saw mUllin sit on a scorers table well especially the second time I pretty much knew what we were in for
Noe for people who want to say we improved over the 4 years I wont argue with that. It's my opinion we would have absolutely sucked this year and with the same exact roster as we have now CMA would absolutely run circles around Mullin till he started babbling like Walton. No question CMA works harder ( Mullin on record he preferred the Larry Bird model which in college is beyond stupid but Mullin would probably make a good nba coach or at least competent ) and CMA is on campus a helluva a lot more than Mullin and this comes from a Current SJU Coach of another sport who I know
But it is what it is. I much more enjoy watching these kids scrap and fight for rebounds that shoot and retreat offense.
And my anger is already gone where it took me years to get over Jarvis ( luckily it only took me a year to get over Norm ). But then again I cant rule out dementia kicking in
