[quote="Paultzman" post=341185][quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=341183]The constant theme of this Board is Toxicity . There are about a Dozen posters on here that are committed to negativity at every turn . We all know the most vocal of protagonists and he’s inflamed this Board for too long , without any censure . It seems to me that the most Toxic of posters aren’t Alumni of the University , just Critics . Which we need far less of . Even , if you thought Mullin wasn’t a effective Coach , there is a level of decency that has been absent in much of the criticism . Beast said it well, who would want to Coach here to hear Zaun or others throw the constant stream of crap they do on this program ? Zaun has accomplished his main mission of getting rid of Mullin , now this Board should get rid of Zaun , we don’t need his repetitive negativity . There are enough Program detractors on here already and their views , if free of the nasty personal insults , I guess should be heard . I could ask why but , won’t . As for St Jean, why would any Assistant Coach anywhere , i.e. Scheyer be considered over Greg ? St Jean has a pedigree already in the Coaching fraternity , notably due to his hard work here and some from his Family . He will move up the Ladder to Head Coaching in measurable time , either in College or the NBA . He will be a Winner when he does . He has the tools . And , no he is not tainted by his 4 years here . He played the hand he was dealt . There is a erroneous belief advocated by the program detractors that this was the most talented team in the BE . It wasn’t . The collective flaws in the line up showed early on , this group would struggle in a very physical BE Conference . It did . Frankly , the Seton Hall fiasco aside , Mullins team should have been a 3 Red place finisher at 9-9 . St Jean’s game plan , if you will, helped beat Marquette twice and Villanova once . And , should have had 2 wins over SH . And , despite 2 losses to DePaul in the season , Chris and Greg figured out how to contain Strus in the BE opener that we should have never been in , if Mike Stephens hadn’t blown his wrong whistle . So , feel good that you Critics contributed to the Program’s greatest player being dismissed or resigned by all the negativity spewed a year . Yes, there were legitimate criticisms of Mullin’s tenure . His Recruiting wasn’t good and we lacked the size required in the BE and didn’t have the consistent outside 3 point shooter that is necessary to be competitive in College BB today . Mullin’s absences ? His much time was he away for his Brother’s illness ? Or , other family issues that are personal and should not be delved into ? Maybe he should have taken a Year off, like Lavin did when he had Cancer ? Do any of us really know ? There are more fans of the BB program than are posting on this Board . Many stay away because of guys like Zaun and his supporters . So , Beast and Brian W and others that are Alums and fans , don’t accept all the crap posted here . It’s not worth it . Frankly , I think the Mods have given way too much leeway to a few naysayers . They should act now and jettison the most egregious .[/quote]
