Mullin out at St. John’s / Mike Anderson hired

[cliftonparksufan]

Great interview. It's so hard to believe how low St Johns has fallen. Repole is taking everyone at St Johns to task except for the AD who came from Duke and says this guy won't stay since he isn't getting any backing.

Why are the Johnnies not offering Tim Cluess of Iona? He's done a great job there. NCAAT 6 of last 9 years. Plays an uptempo style. And has NY/NJ recruiting ties. Leave it to STJ to make a dumb choice. It's been mostly a wasteland since Louie C retired with his sweater.

The ad wants him. Which begs the question why hire an ad if your not going to let him pick the coach?

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Could be James Jones. I've always thought highly of him but he is not Tim Cluess. However they will save some face with Jones,

 

[WinRoadGame]

Forgive me if already covered but why not Mark Jackson?

Interesting, I never heard that, so their kids would live at home but get paid the stipend for housing? I can see that.

Yep. It was considered a commuter school so players got a market rate housing stipend.

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

Heard a rumor that Cluess was the leading candidate until the Lou Crew got wind and killed it internally. Something about bad blood from when Cluess transferred to Hofstra. No idea the validity, but would be something if it was true.

 

[StopCoolio]

James Jones! One thing I know. You don’t let a guy with a 53% winning percentage and one(?) tournament win over like 20 seasons in the Ivy walk out the door.

This might be the gold standard on how not to handle a coaching search.

 

[Frozen]

Should have just hired Red Autry.

[PauliePeppas]

Cluess withdrew . What...a...mess

I would like to announce that I have withdrawn from the St. John’s head coaching search as well.

Good of you to get out in front of that. Save them from the further embarrassment.

would be a good hire, wonder if he would even listen to them, it's his alma mater but what a dumpster fire.

Damn you. I was about to make this joke

I would think Mark Jackson could get a shot at a NBA job. I would not be interested if I were him

 

[cuseinseattle]

What if they ended up hiring Rick Pitino. How funny would that be.

 

[Maxsumm]

Cluess withdrew . What...a...mess

Maybe they should now focus on the cast of :

 

[cuse10]

 

[Orangello]

Kevin Stallings is still available

 

[PoppyHart]

He's implying that it was $275K/yr, not $2.2 million/year? Riiiiiggghhttt.

 

[Frozen]

Looks like Jones from Yale is going to be the “winner” of the St. John’s coaching sweepstakes.

 

[Frozen]

And now Paul Hewitt is a candidate apparently.

 

[rrlbees]

And now Paul Hewitt is a candidate apparently.

Has Tom O’Brien taken his name out of consideration?

 

[littlereg]

Might as well offer Lavin his job back
