Was it about the  $$

That's the way they want it portrayed. But who cares, it's done

Who is the  they?

Both parties.

I would guess( I can't say "heard", too many feelings get hurt), that he got low balled to a point that he made a scene

Going back as far as 1940s only Louie after Big East and Jarvis were paid the going rate prior to Lavin.

Steve Lavin will be replaced as St. John’s basketball coach, the school announced.

Okay....  Now, that's out of the way.  They need to bring in someone who may be able to keep the commitments and possibly, retain Jordan and Obekpa.  Don't drag their feet, either. 

Hear you Dink. Don't think they will. We'll see.
Good luck to Lavin.

Don't think they'll drag their feet?   Or don't think they'll get someone who can keep some of the commitments?

this doesn't sound promising:

“A national search is underway for a candidate who possesses the characteristics to give our program an opportunity to successfully compete at the national level,” Monasch said. “We will be aggressive in our search for a coach who has a track record of success, understands all the requirements of running a high major basketball program in New York City, including the media demands within this market. We are seeking someone who embraces the St. John’s mission and tradition, including the ability to attract the top talent both nationally and internationally.”

Ugh...

Lavin says, "Hey, they're describing what I did!"

What is bad about this statement?

Don't think they drag feet. Always tough to keep recruits of substance. For someone like Sampson, I am sure he and his mom will be upset because they apparently were very fond of SL.  That said, sometimes the new coach salvages things, but certainly not an easy task when the kid is in high demand. I do feel for a nice kid like Sampson & his family. Let's hope when the dust settles he gives us a chance.

I feel if they bring in someone who many folks feel or believe is competent, then they can keep a kid like Sampson.  It won't be easy, as you stated, but it can be done.

Never

I'm going to let that pass seeing as how you must be heartbroken. Next time though you're getting a thumb's down.

Never

St. John's and Steve Lavin have mutually agreed to part ways, per the school.

Mutually, yeah. If SJU decided to fire him could he refuse to leave? The Lavin of the Opera, hiding in the rafters at CA dropping klieg lights on the recruits during Midnight Madness.

It tells you they had no one else in mind. The reality is, they were trying to negotiate a deal with Lavin, they were not entertaining other candidates. They couldn't work out a deal so now the search is on.

Brandon Sampson reopening his recruitment per his HS coach.

"Winter is coming!"

It was given by Monasch--his a$$ should also be out the door.  Come on Bobby, clean house: Monasch screwed up relationship with Keegan Bradley and the golf team and the soccer team has gone to hell in a handbasket.

"Winter is coming!"

I'd be pretty happy if we had our coach prior to the Game of Thrones opener.  And the sad thing is I am not sure we will (just based on historical timelines).

Very creative 

Is the AD the next person to go?

Yes

Everything I said in post 1 still holds true.
