Trouble in New York

I didn't consider Mark Jackson, that would be a great idea.

You wonder if they have actually...

Pitino.

Imagine the TV ratings.

Preach forgiveness and weather the initial bad PR.

5 year minimum commitment with a succession plan in place by Yr 3.

Pitino would probably get some decent grad transfers right out of the gate.

Look at Bruce Pearl and Auburn...hiring Pitino would be exactly the type of move the Jonnies should take to be relevant! Otherwise they will drift further into mediocrity.

[xudash]

Yes. Really go on offense and turn this s-show around.

Mark Jackson can't coach. Word is he was just like Mullin when he coached Golden State. Had nothing to say during timeouts. Had no idea how to manage his players.

Looking like Mike Anderson. Could do worse.

Yeah, not terrible. He will at least keep the program from going into the complete abyss. Better than Moser in my opinion and some of the other names that were being floated out there once cluess said no.

The more I think about this, the more I think what a good option this turned out for st.johns. He runs a clean program, goes to the tournament on average about every other year, and runs an exciting brand of basketball. He has never really gotten big time recruits, instead getting guys who fit his system so the fact he isn’t an east coast guy, isn’t really a big deal. Other than Hurley, I think this is the best St. John’s could have hoped for at this time in their program.

given the spot they were in they did really well. He produces winning teams. Probably needs a couple seasons to get his recruiting going there.
