Fire Lavin!

Could Massiello be any worse? I ask that seriously.

If you are serous then you need not be taken seriously. Not because of your opinion on Massiello but the fact that you think STJ would ever consider it.

No, I don't think they would consider it. But I do think he deserves a second chance somewhere. And I do believe he is a better coach than Lavin.

Great but that's not what's being discussed here. Personally I can think of dozens of guys that would seem to be better coaches than Lavin off the top of my head. Few of them are viable candidates for the STJ job for a variety of reasons. Let's try and discuss those that aren't fantasy is all I'd ask, and you are certainly welcome to ignore that request. Just my two cents.

2 more players could leave the program also as a result of CO leaving

Fair point.

Calhoun's probably available immediately. How's that for non-controversial? :)
 
next year is flashback to Showtime Hill and Phil missere days.......Lavins next statement will be how much he enjoyed St Johns and how he is leaving.......
 
At this point I was expecting CO to leave. But to hear 2 others are considering leaving is beyond belief. IMO time to get rid of Lavin, take our lumps, and start over.
 
I said lets wait & see how things play out, well now things are official. This is almost surreal.

And I was challenging you on your opinion at the time, so what's your opinion now?

I think I already answered that. I still think that the Sampson departure was going to happen regardless. That said, now that Obepeka transferring is official, yes I agree that there is drama hanging over the program. Bottom line is that the University needs to make a decision - either give Lavin the extension, so he can try and salvage what's left of the recruiting period, or cut ties with him now and have a new coach ready to be named, for the same reasons.

But which decision would you choose for Lavin lol, I'm trying to pull it out of you!
 
@MikeVacc: St. John's is crazy if it's still pondering that 6-year extension with Steve Lavin. The program is in disarray and that's on him. #sjubb

@MikeVacc: @BrandonTierney Might help if the coach knew the name or phone number of even one NYC high school coach ...

I guess it depends on who the next coach would be, at this point I don't care which decision they make, as long as they make it. For what's it's worth, I was just told that DelaRosa is not coming.
 
NEW YORK -- Jim Calhoun wants to coach major college basketball again, and nothing about Friday night in Madison Square Garden will temper the fire within.

Boston College administrators aren't about to hire him, yet this much is clear: somebody will.

"I'm one of the few guys, at 71 years of age, who likes recruiting," he said. "I don't mind going out and seeing a kid and saying, 'If you come here, we can do these things together.'"

http://espn.go.com/new-york/story/_...ted-connecticut-huskies-basketball-force-will

Calhoun’s available, he’s proven and he’s old--so he’ll be willing to groom someone for the longer term while he stems the bleeding over the short term.

What's not to love?
 
I'm now rooting for more transfers. Next year is lost. Lavin's legacy is now set: full of sound and fury signifying nothing. The sooner we get a new HC in place, the better our shot for 2015 recruits.

I first thought hiring Calhoun was crazy at first, but now thinking if he can coach SJU for four years, get us back on track, he could hire or groom his replacement. We know he can do the job and bring stability for a change. We haven't had stability since Louie left, that is so amazing to me, I have become numb to it all. Maybe that is a good thing.
 
No surprise here but other programs are weighing in.
