I'm not sure of the exact reason, but I've heard that Ponds is great with kids, signing autographs, chatting with him, and often giving away his shoes after a game.

A lot of the guys wear different shoes for each game.
 
[quote="Marillac" post=309152][quote="Steve Knortz" post=308811]According to JJ, SJU is out of scholarships? http://johnnyjungle.com/forum/index.php?topic=928.0

If I am reading the chart correctly, with the transfers already accepted, SJU needs to lose a team member, just to be in compliance. Assuming that Shamorie enters the draft, SJU will be in compliance. In order to accomodate, Kofi or Precious and any other high school seniors or transfers we wish for, another current teammate must leave. Nope, not going to speculate with actual names.

What worries me, is that if one of the current freshman leave, whether "encouraged" or not, competing coaches will be able to tell future recruits that Mullin doesn't play freshman, creating one more obstacle to getting five star high school seniors on campus. I suppose it is a wonderful thing to have to worry about such things....[/quote]

Mullin can then show those recruits Ponds' stats as a freshman and the hardware he won. Lovett too. Ellison, Yankee...the list goes on.[/quote]

Mullin doesn't coach the Yankees. Greg St. Jean does.

I noticed during the St Francis game that they showed the SJ huddle. St Jean was drawing up the play and Mullin was off to the side. I don't believe I've seen another team where it was someone other than the head coach drawing up a play.

It is positionless coaching.

Old habits are hard to break.
BTW, other schools can show a ton of clips of the aloof Mullin during time outs. Worst visuals of any coach in the conference. Watch the Buffalo coach Nate Oats. Four years as head coach and an intense coach that plays 5 out but actually plays defense.

Do not agree with the coach comment or the defensive comment. Different coaching styles work. Also you have no idea what/how coaching occurs in practice or training sessions.With regard to defense our kids do a heck of job given the size, amount of minutes played, style of offensive play and limited use of zone defense. It is not perfect but has improved and will continue to improve,

Ron SM highlighted what has been obvious regarding time outs and white board play design. While Mullin has increased his involvement, depending on the opponent, GSJ has an inordinate amount of say. Not only in play design but in deciding who to substitute. You may call it style if you want but it looks terrible. As for our defense, we haven't been closing out on shooters since forever and given our small size we don't ever play zone. I won't comment on practice and will leave it to Panther but I'm pretty sure GSJ has mucho input there also.
Let's see what we do in conference before we emphatically predict our defense will improve. Personally I think it is a weak point in our play right now.

Agree it is a weak point ant every team has a weak point. Hence, throughout the season you try and improve on your weaknesses. Our defensive weakness of closing out on shooters has improved over the year. This is based on coaching. player effort and execution. Regarding the looks of things who cares about looks, what matters are results.Our results have been improving over the last 3 years in a very competitive league as well as overall college basketball getting much more competitive. No problem with this coaching issue you raise at all, I view it as a non- issue. Howeverif you conclude it to be an issue it is a minor issue at best.
 
Go 2-3 and some of the same complaints that lead to this thread are popping again in other threads. So I figured I would get this back on the 1st page as a reminder to people that it exists so when people go into a thread, they are not bombarded by the SOS.

You can say, "well just ignore those poster's post however they do have other things to offer sometimes, not just complaints.
 
It's rained 3 days in a row here, looking at 5, and you guys are complaining about lack of depth. SMDH

See I don't think we can really complain about the weather here as we have yet to have a snow storm compared to around this time last year.

For 72 to agree with you is absurd, considering he was there when Buck Freeman was coach. Brian Mahoney always had the clipboard for Looie and always drew up the plays.

Again, you say that you have season tix but I don't believe it because if you are at games and paying attention, both Mitch and Greg are constantly engaged in discussion with Chris, and this season Chris leads the huddle more than ever before. He rarely has the clipboard,and if before they go into the huddle, Chris knows the play that's being drawn up, he sometimes walks out of the huddle or doesn't enter.

But it would be ignorant to say he hasn't been in the huddle, and led the huddle more than ever before. It would be ignorant to say that Mitch isn't more engaged with players and the other coaches on the sidelines than ever before. If you assert those things, you are likely less than engaged than 10 years ago when you sat in chairs on the floor of CA.

Again, Mullin runs a very different offense. He isn’t micro managing plays all game and delegates his assistants for much of that stuff. We don’t run a ton of set plays, even though we run some. He allows the offensive players to get the ball, read the defense, look for opportunities, move the ball fast and get into motion to get open. It’s not gonna change. I don’t see why people are still baffled by this?

I would agree with this. I wouldn't be surprised if what St.Jean is outlining at times on the clipboard has to do with spacing, cuts, flashes, defensive coverage, etc, and not a specific play. These are just the bitchers who anecdotally and selectively are looking to shit on the coaches at every opportunity.

You're a day late and a dollar short as usual with your retorts. You are responding to a sarcastic comment I made over 3 weeks ago around Christmas. I rarely go to the Carnesecca games anymore so I give my tickets to friends. That shit hole gave me a back back and swollen hemorrhoids. Tonight a CTK alum and his son will give me their independent views.
Just curious as to why you are responding 3 weeks later. I don't know or care what goes on in the huddle because if you don't have a game plan before the game you are Fcked. My only issues during any game is defensive changes and substitutions. Thanks for pointing out that I am over 60 and old. There are a few of us here. Maybe most of us that post. But I appreciate your young perspective on things. You kids are so much fun!

You're still breathing, that's a plus. I've been to 3 funerals in 2 weeks, including a young SJU alum. That and no Vitamin D leads to light deprivation depression.
