Lavin

I voted for the 4yr extension. 2 NCAAs and 2 NITs. Who was the last coach to pull that off? I think they named the court and the building that holds it after him.

Lavin has brought more brand to St Johns. Chicago is the second largest city, and who cares about DePaul? Fox Sports loved us this year, a lot of national exposure. 
Another factor, from the University point of view, will be revenue. Are applications up or down? I know they don't have trouble filling dorm space. Lavin is a brand, he loves the media and the media love him. Norm, Jarvis, Fran, Mahoney; none of them had Lavin's relationship with the national media.
I say give him another four.

Seems like hes changing his mind every minute. Obekpa has had too many chances. He should be kicked out. You cant screw your teamates the way he did.
We're in great hands, coach is staying, everyone needs to chill.

if money is part of the problem, i suggest they cut keady off.  with all due respect, i honestly don't see his value.

Bobby Hurley is going to win 30 games next season at Buffalo.  It will be too late.  Look at their roster for next season...insane.  They'd be top 5 in the Big East.  They return everyone but two players who averaged just over a combined 10 ppg.

They bring in the best recruiting class in school history, including a former top 75 recruit, Torian Graham, and a 6'5 juco wing that averaged 15 ppg at Midland. 

They have two outstanding young PGs, 6'1 Shannon Evans from Hargrave Prep, that averaged 15.4 and 4.6, and outstanding freshman, Lamonte Bearden, who averaged 8.3 and 4.4 (2:1 assist to turnover) and was a beast driving against WV.

Lavin said he was in extension talks last year

And you said he was gone ... "done deal".   So what's your point?  It's possible to be in negotiations and decide to put them off.

Why would he want to leave now?  The scenario above would only enhance his value rather running off this year.
