Count me as a Cragg supporter.
The problems facing StJohn’s athletics could be easily improved with sufficient money, which StJohn’s lacks.
Cragg is merely playing the short hand that was dealt him when he arrived at StJohn’s .
Imagine how “F__ed” StJohn’s would be today with changing landscape of college sports (see: NIL, etc) if some of the prior empty suits that served as StJohn’s AD were still the AD.

This is not totally on MC but we have "donated" over 10 seasons of a subpar product.
My BIGGEST problem where was the uproar of losing seats on the big donor side of the arena.
I used to sit 3 rows behind the bench since 88 and Stan the Man had them since 73. All of a sudden after watching us lose the Lapchick and lose national standing we get kicked out to the other side of the arena. The group of people we had sitting with us either gave up their seats or vanished.
So really don't give me the loss of seat revenue when you booted diehards for seats that are empty half the time by the CASH-Fans.
That answer is straight BS. Just say if you don't give enough you don't get and LOYALTY means nothing.

The sad and unfortunate fact of life is that contributions determine seating at StJohn’s and every other D1 school I am aware of.
But where was the uproar about losing the seating on the other side of the court?
Crickets.
His answer is BS.
Leave the arena as is but bring Brandon Williams in to play in it.
Probably Both--the cost for usage of at most 50 hours of men's basketball/year. Also it gives us a home court advantage as opponents aren't used to playing in the heat while our team practices there all the time.

Again, these decisions are based on money. The ticket prices of those seats were probably raised to make up for the lost revenue. I’m sure Cragg and team did some research and realized that raising ticket prices on the other side was not the best way to move forward.
You learn from mistakes hopefully. Adding the same types of seats on the other side mean you double the loss in capacity.
Its been awhile since I have travelled to an away game let alone one on an on campus arena. How do the seats compare to other on campus arenas? I know there are some with a mixture of cushioned seats with backs, plastic seats with backs and bleachers and in some cases the differences are on the same level.
It all comes down to winning. If we are a top 25 team year in and year out most fans wouldn’t care about the seats or AC. It would be an electric atmosphere. Some hot yoga while watching a basketball game!
