We've become the best defensive team in the league. Offensively, we've seen flashes of a scheme. Why it isn't there in every game is beyond me. Some of the defensive success, as well as the offensive deficiencies, can be attributed to the players and some to the coach. Lavin has done a great job recruiting thus far. I don't really care what the other coaches think.
It's funny reading another Big East centered board. Posters there have a love fest, complimenting each other and stating how much respect they have for the other teams, their fans and coaches. They all have nothing but negativity toward St. John's, their "thug" players, arrogant fans (and New Yorkers in general), as well as our coach.
I had the temerity, not too long ago, to suggest that I wouldn't mind a matchup in the BET with Nova because I think we match up well with them. I was attacked by Nova fans. Other Johnny fans are attacked anytime they say something in support of, or in defense of our team.
We can all fight within the family. We even have to put up with outsiders coming on the board pretending to be Johnny fans with "legitimate criticism" of our team's play and overall lack of success. As for me, this is my team and I will defend it against attack from other fans.
