If the DOBO made LJF's schedule how did the staff not know he was on pace to graduate? And if the staff did know he was on pace to graduate and knew also that LJF didn't like CTC - and even I knew that - how was the staff blindsided? Shouldn't they have had one of those back-up plans everyone used to talk about during the previous regime? Inquiring minds, etc.
Let me first say that I have absolutely no insight into the LJ situation. I am just taking Dave’s info as true.
As a former student athlete at St. John’s and someone very familiar with how this stuff was handled with prior SJU staffs, I don’t see how it’s possible that the staff wasn’t aware—short of just completely dropping the ball.
The schedules are prepared for the athletes. Many classes, especially in the summer, were only open to athletes. Of course the athlete can change the schedule, but for the DOBO and the athletic acetic coordinator to not be aware that LJ is within striking distance of graduating is pure negligence if true.
Most basketball players take 9 credits in season. They load up in the summer sessions. Any player taking 15 would raise flags to anyone who understands the system.
