Greenberg or Skinner?
« on: March 26, 2010, 02:47:38 PM »
 Reports are they are interviewing both.  Tough call. Greenberg is younger, more personality. Skinner is a better game coach but may not be able to recruit like Seth.

 I give the slight edge to Skinner if it indeed comes down to these two.  Thoughts?

As one wag put it on another board, it's like choosing between gonorrhea and syphilis.

  i know your a big Greenberg fan.  I'm not opposed to him but could you shed some light as to why he's your choice?  Thanks.

Id take Greenberg but its close. I think Greenberg can coach and recruit pretty well and Skinner is a good in game coach but is an average recruiter. Greenberg as you said has some personality and I think he could get better players here and ultimately have more success.

Foad-  you do you want to see coaching, for real.

A week ago I would have been happy with McCaffery or some other mid major dope. But Monasch has changed my expectations. If he's going after Hewitt and Donovan and Pitino, then he should go after Tubby Smith and Ben Howland and Bobby Knight. And after that Sendek and Kruger and Frank Martin and Steve Lavin and whoever else.  A week ago I would have said that's crazy, they'll never spend the money, but they seem ready to. Greenberg and Skinner are a notch below that. If Pitino's a home run these two are singles, and you hope they steal second. Between them I have no particular preference.

Then Norm must have been AIDS.  I don't think either coach is capable of taking this program where I'd like to see it go.

more like hoping they steal all the way home.  i dont care if sju asks 10 candidates, at the end if all that is left is skinner or greenberg, i could live with that. too much emphasis on nyc ties...we only have one shot to get this right. dont need to defer to these guys just yet.

We got him his extension!  I hope he sends St. John's a fruit basket.  We did him good.

Ok if this is true (and not just spin by Greenberg) it's disturbing:  from twitter, don't know if it's true.

Was just told Seth Greenberg will not take @stj_basketball job...wasn't happy with potential salary and also feels V Tech situation better

St. John's reportedly wasn't offering more money to Greenberg because they believe Al Skinner will take the job for $1.5 million if offered
