  Call Donovan - 1st order of business, Then Pitino....  Mullin, Danny Hurley.... In that order..   Worst case, Danny Hurley is coach..

 No to Bobby.. #$%^ no to Massielo.
How much would they even have to offer Donovan? I don't think they can afford him.

 I have no idea...  I'm still making the call... Again, I think worst case Danny would take the job and he would be a solid choice..  I'm still shooting for the stars 1st.  Can't hurt to ask.

Let's consider Reggie Witherspoon, former Erie Community College head coach who also preceded Hurley at Buffalo, Reggie lead the Bills to several tournaments and season wins totals of 21, 20, 23, and 19, and he has more experience that Hurley. If Hurley's two seasons make him qualified, Reggie is too!

I would say Smart and Miler (understood they are longshots) and then Mullin and D Hurley.  I think they know Danny would take the job.

Masiello would crawl over broken glass with no socks or shoes for the SJU job.  Are you kdding me?  He took the USF job last year before it fell thru.  USF is a God Awful job.

Guys on the CBS board on the outside looking in:


"ktscott01
Whats the deal? From the outside it looks like they were moving in the right direction.

Because clearly St. John's can do better based on their reputation 30 years ago.

NJRyan
You just nailed what they think. St. John's still can be good, but the 1970s are not coming back.

NPT Baseball
it was the 80's

He just forgot that its 2015 now, so 30 years ago is the 80s rather than the 70s.

Part of me hopes they hire Massiello.

1) he would be good

2) some of your heads would explode.

That said, he's not my first choice.

‏@AdamZagoria 4m4 minutes ago New York, USA

Other names I've heard at St. John's besides Chris Mullin and Danny Hurley: Richard Pitino, Tim Cluess, Steve Masiello.

Cluess and Masiello would be mistakes.

I'm not a fan of Pitino, either (unless, it's the elder Pitino).

Danny Hurley seems like the safest bet.  Let's see if he would take it.  I would take Pitino and pray for the best before I go with Massiello.  Jeez, if anyone can't see the sleaze...

(Assuming no miracles like Donovan or Pitino)

1) I'd reach out to Archie Miller and Shaka Smart.   Collectively they are my first options.   
2) Mullin; if he is interested, and IF he has a particular recruiter in mind who will come on board.
3) I have a very hard time separating Danny H, Bobby H, and Maisello.   If it wasn't for the transcript issue it would be Mas.   So I say interview all 3, kick the tires, ask around about them.  Have a search firm vet them.
4) Cluess.  I don't like him, but he wins at every level.  That's hard to ignore.

We missed you Choz.

Also, I'm adamant that I would do a thorough search.   And not discount candidates like Steve Pikiell or Zach Spiker.   
If they have what it takes, don't be scarred off by their current position.

Always been a business. Always be a business. No hard feelings just like 2 years back.

Love ya Lav. And keep ya head up.

Peace out.

You should stick around. Feel bad for the newer posters who may never get a chance to discuss hoops with you.

Cluess just got extended so he's not an option. Bobby has proven in a shorter time than Mas or anyone else on the list that he's the real deal as a recruiter and in-game coach. I'd go after Bobby hard and see if Mullin or Jackson have any interest too.

Mullin, Bobby Hurley, or Danny Hurley.  Short 3 person list.  Let's get this done.

At worst we should have a hurley as our coach next year. And that is no knock on them.

We didnt fire lavin not to take a run at some bigger fish. Give Archie a call for sure.
