Two weeks ago many of us were willing to table the coach talk and just focus most of the theads on the team's play in the court.
Honestly, I know I had every intention of that.

But you guys need to admit that these dramatic headlines basically write thrmselves, blown out by nova, embarrassed in the big east tourny, starting center in elidgible for the ncaas.
It's not all the coach's fault, but since he was on the proverbial "hot seat" beforehand, surely you can understand why people are having a tough time not talking about the coach?

I really wanted to just enjoy the post season, but you can't make this up.

Then, enjoy it!

Nah, you can't make this stuff up. But if you wanna use the "dark cloud" over the program to steal your enjoyment for the NCAA tournament, then allow it. If not, then enjoy it. Maher is on the "dark side," but decided to make the trip to Charlotte this week. Anything is blown out of proportion, if it even remotely paints Lavin in a bad light to some of y'all. Of course, he deserves blame with several things, but some of this stuff mentioned on here and stated ad nauseam is quite comical and kinda sad, as well.

It's gonna be interesting when or if there is a new coach before some folks either quickly turn on the new guy or use Lavin as a crutch 4 or 5 years down the road. I'll bet it'll be the same one's who ridicule other posters when they use Norm's shortcomings when it comes to Lavin's mishaps. I know who y'all are, too.

As noted frequently, have not been Lavin fan for a long time. That said, my focus is on winning the next one. After we are eliminated, hopefully sensible decision makers will make the contract choice they feel is appropriate. Life will go on & I will support it. After all, going back to Tony Jackson days as a kid, I am clearly addicted to my Johnnies. Beat SD State!

Agree and for all those hell bent on insisting that you can't enjoy this group of seniors on the court and still want to see Lavin out the door as quickly as possible, I am doing both quite well thank you.

Alabama fired Anthony Grant before their NIT game. At least we are not that crass.
I think the sides are negotiating as we speak. I don't think the problem is that St. John's wants to fire Lavin as much as Lavin's camp making unrealistic demands. St. John's may be forced to take a position quickly as a result. Rumors of 5 years including next year have been heard but the conditions may force St. John's hand.

If it was me I'd meet unrealistic demands with " ok go coach your final year and then lets see " because as of right now unless he salvages the recruiting class then any leverage is going to go out the window with what could happen on the court next year.

Time for some realism on both sides of the contract

Why wait another whole year? If I watched another whole year of his bs I'd f'ing snap. He needs to go. Just to much bs going on with him as coach, and yesterday was the nail in the coffin, he's not a baby sitter right? He recruited them though.

Funny thing is you should have seen how angry I was yesterday on my Facebook.

I pretty much swore off all things st johns as soon as I heard the news. A couple of friends of mine throw a huge ncaa party at this place near my house every year for the entire 1st day of the tournament. So my friend texts me today so see what time I'm going to come thursday and I tell him I can only go for an hour or 2 because I have to get ready to leave for charlotte.

he says to me " i saw your post on Facebook yesterday and thought you gave up on sju ? "

I told him I did. For 5 hours :)

yep and by the way I wasn't wearing it for the big east tourney debacle so we were screwed. I was going to the game with a bunch of people in my business so I couldn't go all sju because I had to meet them at a restaurant before the game

Meanwhile I ended up moving down for part of the game to sit with some of my friends from here but it was too late. The karma got killed

Most of us have the same addiction. As much as we knock the crap out of each other here this forum serves as support group for long suffering fans. Perhaps the members should contribute a few hundred dollars each to Paul to hire a redmen.com forum psychologist to ease the psychological effects of being aSt. John's fan.

I've always felt that I need Redmen Rehab. :blink:
