[quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=279815]Fordham 96, you and a handful of other posters who have hijacked this site and taken it too new lows , obviously support your buddy , Dinkins .

Dinkins has a years long history of being obnoxious , here and the Jungle . I respond in kind because I am sick of the nonsense that gets posted continually about this current program of the Men’s B.B. team . Mostly all negative from only a handful of posters .

From the Thank you’s and personal messages I get here and JJ . Karma ? Karma indicators are easily hijacked and not a credible statistic .[/quote]
Kinda like the "nonsense" you and a few others have or continuously post about Lavin, right? A person who you and a few others personally loathe, but don't know on a personal level, right? A coach who went to 4 postseasons in 5 years, huh?
See! It's nonsense to you because it goes against your agenda and foolishness. Go check out other folks responses to you in the past week or two. I'll assume you'd think those posters were all wrong, right? We're all just piling up on you, huh? Ha! GTFOH.
Go cry somewhere else.

I gave you links to htreads that I started during the year on this site proving you are wrong
Are you ready to apologize ?

Hopefully this means he's reconsidering. Certainly not counting on that, but don't think we'll get a proper graduate replacement.
Also, was re-watching the Nova/Duke highlights yesterday and liked what I saw from TO. He should finish what they started.

I think Sly Fox may be the worst poster in the history of redmen.com even worse then Joe3 back in the day (Now much improved Mike Zaun)!
Definitely has a huge man crush on Mullin
Dinks is passionate and just wants to see them win. Keeps it down the middle.

[quote="redmanwest" post=279785]It is absurd to say that you would take Norm Roberts or Mahoney over CM at this point in time. The team has incrementally improved each year. Too slow, yes, but improved. There are serious questions about recruiting, team management, turnover etc. But, I think a lot of what ant-Mullin people have said is hyperbole. There are warning signs, and if we regress next year, then it is time to start debating, but thus far, slow and steady improvement in terms of talent and results is evident. And, I am a 40 year fan and not related to Mullin.[/quote]
Norm actually tried. He really did.
Met him in East Hartford his first season on the job.
We sat together during the game he offered Wiggins.
His passion was relentless, as shown by the fact he was actually our recruiting BY HIMSELF.
Mahoney land landed stars, Zendon and Felipe
Yup, he actually got to keep 2 nationally recruited local studs HOME.
I have absolutely nothing against the current coaching staff.
I just think the absence of leadership, cohesion and direction is appalling.

I would like to hold off on locking this thread until there is an end to this, especially after Paultzman's post. Besides, anyone can steer a thread off a cliff at any time.
But, having said that, knock off the insults, and stop crapping all over this thread. If you guys want to continue, do it offline, or go meet in a dark alley and settle it that way.

Yeah even I think that's a bit much, though the Mullin team's progress is almost exactly mirroring Norm's in measurable accomplishments. Chris was a little stronger in Non Con 2 of the 3 years but Norm's conference records were better 2 of the first 3 years. Norm did have a winning record in year 3 though. I would certainly endorse a long term contract for Mullin if the only alternatives were Norm and Brian. Met both of them, nice guys but not up to the job. I'm not sure if Chris is a nice guy of not. I would only hope that there are better options than all three considered rshould this staff not show some marked progress over the next 12 months.

I don't think the SOS was on par with year three of Mullin. If year three was Norm's 16 win season and ESPN is correct the highest ranked team Norm's team played that season was Duke at # 18 and it was a blow-out. The highest ranked team in conference was #9 Pitt.
I felt this past year's team could beat anyone that they played when the calendar did not read January. I don't recall ever feeling that way when I walked into an empty MSG to watch Norm's teams. Not intending to criticize Norm here.

[quote="RM86" post=279860]Maryland is hot after a 6'11 grad transfer thats a banger, could be a hold up for Tariq.[/quote]
Guessing this ‘buzz’ is what is behind Paultz’s cryptic post about Tariq. Geech, and the guy wonders why there’s a burgeoning cottage industry of ‘tea leaf’ readers over his posts!
Tariq coming back would be good, since it’s looking like only 1 Grad Big transfer is likely, and it makes us 7-deep (assuming we get a Femi-like guy and Shamorie returns).
But, it also makes next year’s recruiting more critical...to go with what may be 2 skilled/very skilled sit-outs coming soon.

If Owens did return I doubt they could get either of their grad bigs to come because of PT concerns. Tricky! To me, get the first solid guy who wants in.

I don't necessarily disagree but you are also what your record says you are. And losing to Depaul and Georgetown early left me no doubt they could lose to anybody as simply as they could beat anybody. I just hope that I don't look back at the Duke and Nova wins they way I look back at the Hatten NIT victory someday.

I know we need the talent but honestly would rather look elsewhere. Owens has some specific skills but the last thing we need is him hanging out on the perimeter. Would rather him leave at this point. Sad thing about Owens is if he dedicated himself to rebounding better his touches would have gone up.
