Odd comment, perhaps taken out of context?
“I’m not a guy that wears my red shorts underneath my suit,” said Jackson, whose Golden State Warriors will be without David Lee for tonight’s game with the Knicks at MSG. “With all due respect, my son [Mark Jackson Jr.] goes to Manhattan College so I don’t follow [St. John’s. I got too much work to do."

Calling Bobre
wow thats says alot about how Mark Jax feels about st.j's
He was a good guy that I had a public speaking class with
A great Johnny that did deserve to play over moses bec, everytime he came in the johnnys made big runs.
Does not surprise me hes upset they did not even give him a interview Thanks again moanasch
He was not deserving of an interview. He never coached a game in his life, never recruited a player, etc.. He had been removed from the college game for over 20 years, he's an NBA guy now and was waiting for an NBA job to come up. I highly doubt he is upset over not getting a look from St. John's.
Noww let's look at Lavin's qualifications. Fired by UCLA and reputed to be a weak game coach. Seven years sitting on his butt shooting the shit about hoops. Absolutely no personal familiarity with the current crop of recruits. No basketball history whatsoever. And isn't it amazing how many good coachess played the game? Knight, "K", Donovan Self, etc. In fact of all of them you'd be hard pressed to to find one with less practical experience than Lavin. How did he rate an interview?
??
No personal familiarity with recruits? Don't recruits watch college games and hear commentators?
No basketball history whatsoever? Coaching for almost his entire adult life, and calling games for the brief period he was not, surly doesn't count as having a history in basketball. Yea that makes sense. Come on bobre. Fight for you arguments but dont make shit up.
