Lavin

Why did coach Lavin continue to bring in players who did not belong here? It's not like he doesn't' know the difference between a player who belongs, and one who does not.

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...

Totally agree about Massiello. Our AD said "We are seeking someone who embraces the St. John's mission".  Lying about your diploma is not a good fit.

  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.

Didn't belong here, what are you talking about?

Had he brought in players who did belong we would have had a solid 8 man rotation. Early on there were 6 players. Then CO, then Jordan. That's 8, who else. Hooper,Borgo, Keith, ADR, JDR, AA, the walk ons. Who helped the core players this year? Steve started ok and then just stopped and guys started playing 40. Sorry I'm a broken record, but I was asked to elaborate. Look at the list of players who were brought in and those who could really play. Fine to think I'm seeing it wrong. I never thought I had any of the answers. I thought Steve did and sorry he did not hold down the job.

I have to think the powers that be at MSG, The Big East or Fox Sports1 are not going to be happy with Hurley(s), or Masiello, or any other tier 2 coach. They will be whispering in SJU's ears to think big, think "name." So they can fill seats, get TV ratings, and keep pace with other BB power conferences. Remember, the BE needs a strong NYC/Redmen presence; can't risk another experiment (see NR)

That is bogus.  If you think that the next coach is going to have 13 Big East caliber players EVERY year on the roster you better get ready to complain now.  Completely bogus expectation and criticism.  Lavin was at fault of failing to land his top targets for 2014, no doubt.  But this other stuff is convenient misinformation.

And go look at all the transfers, low level recruits and non-qualifiers since Ed Cooley took over at Providence.  Seriously.  Go look and count them all.

I'm hardly an expert on the SJU mission but isn't 2nd chances a big thing in Catholicism?

Question for those who would know: Doesn't Danny Hurley have some serious Mike Rice in him?

I'm not talking about intensity or getting T'd up in games...I mean like an abusive, foul mouthed screamer in practice. I know he wouldnt be the only coach in America to do that, I'm just wondering if it would fly at SJU. Is he over the line or just on the other side of it?

I watched two uri games this year. He's a whiney bitch on the sidelines. If he gets hired people will get tired of his act very quickly. It was annoying to watch on tv with no rooting interest in the game.
