Please stop responding to Lapchick1. It serves no purpose.
Agree arguing with an idiot just makes all us look like idiots just ignore him and hopefully he goes away
"idiot"? Have I called anyone an idiot? Yet you want to ban me! INCREDIBLE! What nerve! Anybody who roots for St. John's who attempts to discuss the continous unwanted results in a realtic manner gets banned. Another words, lie and spin and you'll be aqccepted. However, how does that become part of the solution when doing that hasn't solved a thing in 20 years now?
The same posters defended Norm Roberts too. I'll say this about Lavin THAT IS POSITIVE. Lavin is a much better recruiter than Norm Roberts and Lavin is a very good recruiter. However, Lavin has run into some early difficulty keeping players that he's recruited for various reason already discussed.
I dont know you personally so I shouldn't of called you that. You may be the nicest guy in the world so I apologize. How ever when comes to basketball you dont have a clue at all and thats just being real. When I hear you saying Lavin aint gonna last long or should be on the hot seat that just shows me how little you know about basketball, the big east and this program.
What's our record this season?
What has record been year after year for the past 20 years?
Now I ask you, what are you defending? What have we been so successful at? If 16 or so of the past 20 years have been almost in the league finishes than there is going to be some criticisim in return.
"You don't get by on mediocrity in sports. In sports you have to be a winner".
Again this is where you are out of your f'ing mind.
Lavin is the coach. Doesn't matter what happened here the last 20 years. The school finally made a commitment to winning.
Lavin is a winner. Period. Has the results to back it up. He got f'ing cancer.
You have no clue how the business world works. Lavin is the CEO now. We have 2 players on the team ( In Lavin's 1st full recruiting class ) who are 2 of our all time best freshman.
Tick Tock
Lavin is obviously not responsible for the last 19 or so years YES your right. However, there has been a losing culture here at St. John's now for decades and we're losing again so until that changes that culture still exists. Now that doesn't mean that it will CONTINUE to exist, because Lavin has the ability to change it. We'll see, but I'm very concerned right now. Lets see how well Lavin finishes with recruiting this current class for starters. I'll tell you right now, if we lose this guy and that guy and setlle on a few other Plan-B and Plan-C choices THAT NONE OF THE OTHER FORMIDABLE SCHOOLS WANTED (that's what happened too often with Norm Roberts except his were PLAN-D and Plan-E guys instead), than I'm not going to spin it going forward into next season. I'm not going to come on this board if that becomes the case and start bragging about our chances. EX: Who do we replace Pelle, Arkansas transfer, Gathers & Sampson etc. etc. with? Do we HOLD ON to our best undereclassmen at least 3 years?
