I have been listening to native locals tell me about JT Jr for 30+ years. They know him from the days when he played for Carroll and coached at St Anthony's. They know him as a ruthless, highly competitive guy with a mean streak. And he is certainly not above playing the Race card. But he also knows the pressure points of Catholic school priests and administrators.

He once cried crocodile tears when Villanova students wore prison orange shirts to an Iverson game. "How could a Catholic school allow that?" He complained.

One might ask, "How could a Catholic college recruit this felon?"

The GU people including Joe DeGoia, revere him and no one takes him on ever. I have many times heard talk show people cut off callers who had anything negative to say about either Big John or Hoya basketball.

Given what happened with Ronny Thompson, I don't see Big John caving on this.

There's strong market for successful college coaches. But not much of one for failed coaches.

I want to continue this, but I have to get on a plane.
