Normally I'd be hesitant about a candidate who has no prior head coaching experience, but Sacaramento was so impressed with Mullin they wanted him to coach BEFORE they went out and got George Karl.  Mullin would be the exception.  I assume Terrence would be an assistant?

I kind of hope it's not a SJU only staff

He would need an X/O guy
He would need a recruiter like Chiles, Kimani Young, Slice, or Rasheen Davis
Third assistant would be OK to go to a Terrance Mullin or Steve Shurina type

DOBO I would want a local SJU guy like Hamilton or Ty Grant   

Agree with you. Terrance can fill one spot but other 2 should be known recruiting and X/O commodities, respectively.    And I think those are great choices for DOBO - what about Felipe as well, he's involved locally in the Bronx isn't he?  But something like that would be great.

Felipe would be fine LOL I just forgot to list him. I am kind of getting excited if Mullin is a possibility. At leastr we know he wouldn't take the job for granted, 

Also wouldn't be shocked if Marcus Hatten's name came up as a staff member . He said within the last year that he would like to coach at St Johns

@SRod021 My guess is the same. Zagaorias source sounds like it's the disgruntled brown noser, Sam Albano.

This whole thing is a mess. Typical St. John's.

St. John's should just give Lavin a 2 year extension which would put him on the books for 3 seasons. Stress to Lavin he needs to show X results over next season on court + recruiting otherwise he'd be bought out.

This would put the team in better position for next coach or Lavin could have things rolling.

If you fire Lavin now, you bring in any coach it will take 2 seasons to reshape the team and by year 3 or 4 people may be calling for his head too.

If you let Lavin just play out his contract he's a lame duck and won't be able to recruit and you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

So essentially Lavin benefits from taking the recruiting year off. Giving him an extension just because a new coach probably won't succeed in year 1 or 2 (because of Lavin's lack of recruiting) is nothing more than rewarding Lavin for his incompetence

If that were the case then SJU would leak (to Roger) that they are working on an extension. I am certain that an extension may still be in the cards but I would think that it is doubtful at this point

albano, baldi, and Jay also said Lavin to ASU....

given the misinformation spewed about more player suspension after obekpa, i wouldn't doubt someone at sju is passing on false guidance.

Hatten as a coach?

Okay Felix, here's what you do: Split the double team in the half court set, then throw it down, but make sure you wait until you get fouled first, because you don't want to waste a chance at a 3 point play. After that, steal the ball in the in-bounds play, and dunk it again. After that the other team will call a TO. When play resumes, hit a few three pointers, block some shots, and throw some alley-oops. Then go get some water.

 Isn't the idea to move the program forward and ahead?   Bringing in 5 players from over the last 20 years, where we absolutely sucked, seems to be counterproductive.

It's called The Miracle of St. Anthony. It's been out for a long time now. I got it for my Dad about 6-7 years ago. Great read.

Hurley Sr. will never send another St. Ant's player here after Roshown McLeod and Ingram. Talk about burning a bridge. The most famous HS hoops coach in America and the Johnnies are on his shit list when it comes to recruiting his players. Never gonna change. The Johnnies sure could've used a Markus McDuffie in this recruiting cycle. Because they surely don't have enough 6'4 guards and wings. Sad.

But we shouldn't feel bad. Hurley Sr. has yet to send a player to his own son Danny.

It's a perfect "red storm" of issues. Besides we go after SJU leadership keep in mind that this is the 3rd President in 3 years...The first one "retired" after all the scandal broke, the second one was here to keep the boat afloat, and the 3rd one was brought here to fix all the issues left by the first one, and he's hasn't been here a full year left.

SJU will have to be remade from top to bottom (even bring back SJU). This is Gempenshaw first really huge decision and it's also a HUGE finicial one. Let's see what happens first before we say typical SJU, because this is a new administration for the first time in a quarter of a century and there is a reason they pick an academic over just naming a Priest for tradition sake.

Lavin put himself into this positions by his own up and down tenure. If this team was properly stacked this year the tournament and season migh have been different. If the next season we were reloading with 4 and 5 star recruits The decision would probably an easy one in favor of Lavin.

After five years there is still a lot if think and hopes that this team is on the right track...Somebody please tell me what Lavin's plans is for this recruiting class and next year?

Not saying he should be Fire, I'm just saying he made the choice a difficult one by his actions against a new President who didn't pick him. I just want what's beat for SJU with or without Lavin.
