You clearly misinterpreted my comment entirely. I never disparaged Smart. I pointed out the folly of the Anderson haters on this Board for judging him based on Marquette’s early season’s games.otis post=457098 said:

I finally agree with you on something. Anderson should not be judged by Marquettes early success, he should be judged on the following.Proud Alumn post=457125 said:
1. No wins against a Big East team with a better then 500 league record.
2. His team is ranked 300 in team defense and 350 something in defense against the three nationally.
3. His poor in game coaching especially at the end of game situations.
4. Losing 9 out of 12 players to transfer.
5. En route not to make the Dance when that was the minimum expectations of the entire St John's community including himself and his staff.
6. His failure in three recruiting seasons to bring in Big East level recruits.
Other then that, he's done a great job.
I don’t think we have a chance of making the tournament (not rocket science)…But, I will never give up supporting the program or the school. So, we need to fill CA for the remaining games to avoid hampering any potential recruiting efforts. Whether you're pro or anti CMA, we need to ensure that potential recruits don’t put us on the “pay no mind list”. You may laugh, scoff and say we’re already there. As die hards, and we all are, we have no choice.
very easy to bail at this point. But, Beast recently posted a very well stated summary of why a recruit should consider SJ. While we’re all very frustrated, we need to do what we can do - which is at minimum to show up and to the extent possible support the AD’s efforts to increase student support.
For me, I would be ecstatic to see the top tier at CA full for the Butler, X, Creighton and Marquette (tbd) game. Sometimes you gotta be pissed but show up anyway. Just like your wedding day.

IMO, this is the one valid criticism of Anderson. He did poorly with the transfer portal, with only Wheeler being impactful.richard A Steinfeld post=457522 said:
All the rest from the Anderson haters here is mostly armchair coach superficiality.

Great post. Some people have called us part of the problem. They don't understand that we show up (like thousands others) scream our heads off like teenagers, get disappointed by losses, but saw competitive if not great games, and generally have a better time than when we stay home. I'm always surprised at the old friends I run into and new ones I make.

full crowds at CA would be nice...
but the only thing that is really going to chance the trajectory of this program is how quickly a press release gets issued after the May board meeting and strategic plan gets presented... and from their how quickly we take tangible steps from there.
Anderson needs to step up his recruiting game in advance of a new facility being usable.

Great post. Always easy to bail. Our kids played their hearts out today and I'll be watching every game and rooting (from afar). Two things we absolutely need for next season - a better OOC schedule and a legit scorer off the transfer portal. Both of those are on the staff.

Father Shanley has expressed that our biggest area of need is philanthropy. He is working incredibly hard to address this as a primary responsibility. Unlike all past sju presidents, he is warm, charismatic, and approachable.
I have high confidence he will get this done, but he can only deliver the message, and those interested in the university are the ones who must respond.
This week’s top 25 is highlighted by a new top team with Gonzaga bumping Auburn.
1. Gonzaga, 2. Auburn, 3. Arizona, 4. Kentucky, 5. Purdue, 6. Kansas, 7. Baylor, 8. PROVIDENCE, 9. Duke, 10. Villanova
The Friars have been ranked in the top 10 just 11 times before this season. The highest PC has ever been ranked was No. 3 in 1962, ’65 and ’66.
UConn #24

As much as I dislike Ed Cooley, he has done a magnificent job at PC. And I thought they were a top 10 team last week.Paultzman post=457737 said:
Big East with two top 10 teams. Nice. Just wish one of them was us!
