D1 Coaching Changes

[quote="fun" post=279592][quote="JohnnyFan" post=279574]Can you imagine being so insecure that you spend all your time trying to prove that your're smarter than everyone else?[/quote]

I have a pretty vivid imagination, so I can imagine a lot of things. (A lot of which have to do with Jacqueline Bisset, but I digress.) I can even imagine being insecure about my intelligence - which is a stretch, because about that I'm not at all insecure. Which is why I don't have to imagine proving that I'm smarter than everyone, much less you - that's obvious - or to waste all or even some of my time trying to prove it. Which is why I didn't mention anything about my alleged superior intelligence or your lack thereof: you did that. I didn't mention me at all or you. Except when I'm drunk - which happens all too frequently, I'm considering going to meetings - and I inopportunely call some dope a cunt I assiduously avoid calling people names or assailing their character - which is what you've done here. The fact is that I don't give an intercourse about you, that's how secure I am - I couldn't pick you out of a line up of dopes with Johnny this or Johnie that in their screen names. I barely know who you are, except as a vaguely identifiable member of a herd of whiny bitches that pollutes this forum with mindless boring witless complaints about nonsense that I could barely give a shit about at all.

What I did on this occasion - which occasions occur more and more infrequently, which is why I post here once a week on average - was merely to post some facts about some lousy coaches that had the good fortune to be hired as assistant coaches. That you interpreted my post as an attack on your intelligence is what we call in the trade a tell. Which if you weren't so insecure about being kind of sort of stupid you'd have realized.

Now that the ad hominems are out of the way, I'll spell my point out, which although pretty obvious seems to have gone sailing over your tiny little pointed head. I'll pose it the form of a multiple choice question so you have a 33 20 percent chance of getting it right.

Imagine - as long as we're imagining - that Chris Mullin hired as assistant coach some dope from the Missouri Valley Conference with a losing lifetime head coaching record. Would your response have been

(a) signing on the RDC and high fiving your friends about what a genius Chris Mullin was

(b) signing on to RDC and complaining about what a bad coach Chris Mullin

(c) signing on to RDC and complaining about what a bad coach Chris Mullin is

(d) signing on to RDC and complaining about what a bad coach Chris Mullin is

Remember to formulate your answer in the form of a question. Remember also to mention confirmation bias and to spell both Dunning and Kreuger correctly. Because spelling counts. Or cunts. Whatever.[/quote]

That you were bothered to the point of having to write this dissertation gives me great joy.
 
Not a change but per Josh Newman;
Source: Iona and Tim Cluess have agreed on a three-year extension. That gives Cluess seven more years, through the 2024-25 season. Announcement coming here shortly.

Hope they pay the guy as much as they can.
 
Paultz. I see Mike Rice on your Avi and noticed an obscure comment about him on JJ. Any interest in him?

The Paultzman is a bit of a tease. What you see in the avatar is Rice but with D'Lo. D'Lo wants to coach at St, John's.
His tea leaves are predicting that D'Lo will be joining the staff replacing Mitch Richmond and he will become the motivation coach that Yakwe was deprived of and will be the second recruiter we desperately need.
His salary at St, John's will be more than what he is earning overseas and brings valuable personal experience having played under a coach that actually went to the NCAA Tournament.

That’d be great ‘72! D’Lo would be a great motivator and I think a great recruiter—he’d connect with these kids! And the ‘timing’ for this ‘announcement’?

A lot of chatter out there that a staff change may not be as doubtful as a month ago & Rice could be available. If rumor true, if not Rice, perhaps someone else with college experience. We’ll see if rumor mill has legs.
 
Good. if it were not for the wins against Duke and Nova this move would have been done much sooner. perhaps fans bugging AD Goff on twitter did something.

Reading between "Paultzman's Aivatar Tea Leaves, Spidey Senses, Rumor Mill, and Riddles" (yes, that is a real thing), it is obvious to me that Rice and Harrison are a package deal.

SJU will get two assistants, with 100 times the work ethic for one Richmond salary.

Even SJU's numbers crunchers can see value in that. I think.
 
Of course coaching matters. There's a reason some teams win every year. Recruiting matters as well It turns mediocre coaches into geniuses.
My dispute is anointing Dan Hurley as the next coming of coach K and how we missed out on a great one. He may turn out that way. Truth be told, he didn't beat anyone in the top 20 at URI. The A10 was weak...only winning just over half its games. That leads to gaudy records by mediocre teams. Overall, Big East teams won about two thirds of their games. St John's dragged the conference down, otherwise it would have the best W-L record in the country. Hurley may do fairly well in the AAC, which won at a .577 clip. The conference isn't as strong as the BE, it goes without saying.
Would Hurley have been a Redmen savior? URI wasn't a world beater in the A10. His record wasn't as good as Fraschella at Manhattan. He averaged 20 wins a season including a gaudy 26-5 one year. Jarvis was a world beater at BU averaging 20 plus wins a season...and his record at UMASS got him to St John's. Who's to say Hurley would have done better here than those two. I doubt he'd out recruit them. I guess he'd reach the same high level or mediocrity. No world beating...no Villanova clone...ultimately, he'd eventually be vilified by the usual suspects on this board.
I'm not happy with the NBA "every man for himself" mentality our so-called "team" exhibits. We're not bringing in one and done five star talents, We're bringing in ordinary players (except Ponds) who have no loyalty to the school. I'm not sure Mullin can address this. I love the image Mullin and Richmond are bringing to the school. I'd love it better if we became an elite team. I don't see how that can happen when we'll be stuck playing six or seven guys again next season.

As far as conference records, are you referring to out of conference schedules? Because our out of conference record did not "drag the Big East down", our in conference record, that's a different story.

Right. We were 11-2 out of conference including the Duke win, with our two losses coming to tournament teams. We certainly didn't hurt the conference RPI.
 
If anything, SJU helped the BE out a LOT this year. SJU's RPI OOC was top 15 I believe. Then they went 4-14 in conference, thus giving the rest of the conference a huge boost. 5 BE teams finished with records of 10-8 or 9-9 in conference, and 4 of them went to the Tournament. We were 2-8 against those teams. Had we gone 8-2 I doubt 4/5 of those team make it.

If we went 10-0? Standings would've looked like this:
Seton Hall 8-10 (10-8)
Creighton 8-10 (10-8)
Providence 8-10 (10-8)
Butler 8-10 (9-9)
Marquette 8-10 (9-9)

Great to hear we may be getting a new assistant. That's definitely needed.
 
Dino Gaudio joining Chris Mack's staff at Louisville. Former head coach, with experience. Sounds like it's the thing to do.

I love D'Lo, but I hope the next addition has experience coaching college basketball. Call me crazy.
