Baldi don't think we want Howland.  No loss IMO.

Oh hell no. But DePaul did. Now they will look into the same pool as us and they have a vacancy with a great new facility

Why are we competing with DePaul for low/mid level coaches?  I thought SJU was a marquee program, should be able to attract the best in the business!!!

I hate jim Calhoun . Would be his biggest fan ever if he was hired. Not a home run. Walk off grand slam to win World Series home run. Then we get a young coach. Who has a chance.

Would be the biggest mistake of as he is retired and would cash the checks but not put in the effort at this stage of his life

One could argue Lavin has been doing some of that himself.

This is where you lose me and respect for your posts. Get a life and some respect for people. Don't think he is a good coach, fine. the personal stuff is BS

That's fair.  But I'm not trying to be loved by you Shamsman.

It's been rumored that he showed up just before tip-off for the NIT game last year, which became a disaster.
His recruiting the last two seasons has been less than spectacular, and local coaches say they don't see enough of him at their games/practices.
An inference can certainly be drawn from that, that SL isn't giving this job his full attention.    You can disagree, but that's where I'm coming from.
It's not personal, I don't think he drowns puppies.  But from what I've heard I think it's possible that he's not giving us full effort.

I'm not his boss, I'm not privy to smoking guns.   But from what I've heard and seen, that's the opinion I've formed.   But I fully admit that it's not all concrete.    Hopefully his bosses know what's true and what's not.

HNK, I'm not upset by the poll.   A lot of people still support the coach, it's just surprising to me, nothing more. 
At the end of the day only one person's opinion matters: President Gemespaw

Desco...I think everyone's surprised by the poll results....I certainly was.....but I guess the anti's are way more active and vocal....that does make sense.

Topic is Lavin.....62% extend him (some extend without a guarantee)

SG - Brandon Sampson

Bench:

SG - Samir Doughty

IMO, Lavin has put the program in a position where it will need a legendary recruiting haul this spring just to able to play D1 ball. The current returnees, collectively, do not make up a D1 team. Are we really going to give him an extension despite this?

It does.  I think there are a lot more traditional redmen fans in Lavin's corner than we expected.   They just may not post very often, but they're members here and on RM.
Although, I do think if we ran a poll here the numbers may be a little closer.   I think generally speaking the Jungle leans more toward a new coach than Redmen.com.   
But thats just a theory.
