There is some credibility to the reports that Coach Lavin and SJU could part ways tomorrow.  I can tell you I have this from people I respect.

We'll see.

Wow. My opinion all along has been that Lavin would stay at sju.

Its a game of chicken. There is mutual interest. If a deal cant be reached then there is the threat of parties going their separate ways. I still think they get a deal done.

Perhaps SJ's push for 1 year buyout max? Hurley rumor used for pressure? Pure speculation on my part.

Lowball. I said that pages ago

 his origional tweet said there is another major opening tomorrow referring to SJU, and he thinks they are working to secure B Hurley

Hope it's true. Bring in dad to be an assistant coach. The new president could mean new life at St.John's.

Imagine Dad would come only if he's otherwise going to retire - he alone is keeping St. Anthony's open isn't he?

If he retires the school will close. It is why he has never left. I did some charity work there last year and its truly an amazing place. Help a lot of kids escape from falling through the cracks.

gotta lot of respect for that

Check out Hurley Sr's Induction speech to Naismith Hall of Fame. I teared up two or three times, laughed 10 or more. What a great guy. He's a former probation officer (or still is), right?

I believe he is still a PO and still personally sweeps the floor prior to games.

Wow I never saw that before. He is a great public speaker. Thanks for putting it up !

I need to keep up. I'm too busy telling basketball stories - lol

Pretty sure he is a retired PO and has a job as head of the sports/recreation in Jersey City or something like that.  His stories as a PO, by the way, are legendary.  When Willie Banks - former MLB pitcher and also a hoops player at St. Anthony's - was getting harassed by some hoodlums in his apt complex, Hurley Sr. basically went there and threatened a bunch of older gang bangers.  They never bothered Willie again.

between this site and redmen.com for the last 3 days, the internet and social media have been set back10 years as to sources of info and believability.

I'm not sure what has been (not) said today but think the site has offered a lot of different perspective and healthy discussion. I think some guys reports/opinions carry more/less weight than others. I'm pretty sure people have a good handle on who's reliable and who is not.

I kind of compare this chatter to a loud crowd at Carnesecca. Take that same crowd and put them in MSG it wouldn't be so loud. It's all perspective.

Keep feeding the DMV - ha ha ha

I was in Baltimore today.

Yes he was at OSNA to watch Diallo today.

That new UA headquarters complex/community is going to be sick.  Dude's gonna revitalize B'More single handedly - lol

Think the problems with everyone's "sources" are either they are not as close to the situation as they purport to be, or if they are close are really not privy to what is really happening so they give what really amounts to their opinion. Of course there is a third possibility, they are full of bull. Fourth possibility is people lie about having sources. I actually have a very close to the program source who for example when it comes to recruiting either knows nothing or pretends to know nothing. The most i'll get from him is 'yeah some big kid was in the basketball offices" although under Lavin not so much a BIG kid. Other things he usually tells about 5 years down the road. Guess he is CIA in these matters and I don't press him for more info as I respect him keeping things in house.

Terps fans still don't know exactly went down when AD Kevin Anderson flew out to meet up with Sean Miller in Vegas when Terps were trying to nab Miller. Miller either played Anderson and Terps to get raises for his staff and other concessions, or maybe Anderson told Miller that MD couldn't relax its academic standards one drop to align with Zona, or... who the heck knows...the rest is history

Guess who is a candidate for the Arizona St. job?

Ahem

Bump.

 What's Wormer saying today?   One day you will be right....and you will rejoice.. 

Soon

 Still think he's getting fired?  How certain, on a scale of 1-10?     How about if he's extended,  you go on a 1 week  break from the Board...  If he gets fired, I'll leave for 6 months....  Deal?

 Make it interesting....

I'm 99% , but I don't want you to leave.  If he doesn't get fired, I will leave for a week.

Lucky for you guys, I won't be leaving

It only took a little over a year, but Baldi got this one right.  Kudos.

I think that qualifies for getting it wrong.  At some point every St. John's coach gets fired.

Not too many were right this week, if any. Baldi stuck to his guns

Baldi was right.  I talked to him on Twitter when Zach B reported 3 yr extension & he stuck to his guns and told me St John's, if they were making an offer, were lowballing so they could "mutually part ways."  He pegged it, as did @Sjuredmen, who said the same thing.  Those guys have good sources and also know basketball & know the program.
