One thing the article said and is true of NY sports in general. If you win there,there is no better place, having strong fan support.. I think Lavin took that into consideration. Each year SJU should get better and better. I believe in a few years SJU will be in the upper echelon in the BE in coaching jobs and W-L percentage. In the 80s the people of NYC rolled out the red carpet for Carneseca and he was a national college BB name and subsequent hall of famer.That said , we have had a miserable 10 years, not counting 2010-2011. But, things change.
