At day’s end, this seems minor. But it feels ‘embarrassing’ that the only BE HC not there was Mullin.
I don’t want to make it a big deal because it wasn’t—but why our coach?
Shaking my head a little bit.
Let’s go Johnnies.

Last year Ewing did not show up because Mullin told him he did not have to attend.

The running joke there is the former coach of ST. John's sits in for us because he attends to represent Fox Sports
 
But lets hear it from the know it all's who say this isn't a big deal. Most people work 8-10 hours a day at their job 5 days a week with limited time off. A college coach doesn't come close to that plus all the perks. If for the certain select time periods that you are busier and have functions or events to attend and you can't do it. I'm sorry but you need to look in the mirror.

Is it men's hoops coaches only?[/quote]
Men’s hoops focus & ADs & HCs attend. Last year we had no HC representation. This year, not certain. It has been past practice to have all head coaches there.

Even part time coaches?
 
[quote="Manhattan1" post=286040]Also representation from MSG and FOx Sports to discussion vision going forward.[/quote]

They can punish the no show coaches by assigning the live sideline mic to them next season.

Remember the event (I don't think it was this specific event) where Lavin showed up in a jumpsuit or something and Abitello went nuts on Twitter. Does Mullin know he can wear flip flops if he chooses?

Gotta laugh.
 
In hindsight, I give Lavin a pass for that. He looks like he was bloated from meds and may not have fit into his suits. Although a button-down and khakis would have been easy enough to find off the rack and would have worked better than dressing like Jam Master Jay.

Think you may be right about the bloating, LJSA. I have peers who are dealing with similar problems as I write this. That aside, he did at least make an appearance.

It's like we receive bits and pieces to the giant puzzle as to why we have not been a nationally relevant top 25 program on a consistent basis. I'll give Lav a pass obviously if he was bloating from meds, but dressing down, sitting on scorers tables, having a 25 year old as the in effect head coach, not recruiting nearly hard enough, taking entire recruiting cycles off, not modernizing and comfortizing (made that one up) facilities, players running for the hills, coach disputes, etc.

It just points to a culture of being unprofessional and not taking your job as seriously as you should in addition to a losing culture with minimal effort recruiting. I know I'm still a relatively new fan circa 2011, but I just don't hear these things about other programs. I realize it could obviously be since we spend so much time hyper-focused on SJ hoops vs. other programs, but still I doubt it.
