Is there anything official?

How many dream team members went on to coach a college team ?

Or maybe better put. How many times has a kid had the chance to play college ball for an original dream team member ?

Mike, c'mon. You realize by asking that question you are just BEGGING for someone to bring up Clyde Drexler. Bad karma dude.

Let's just hope Chris is more Mayor than Glide. It is certainly an impactful hiring but all those who are proclaiming the glory days (that barely were) are back again sound not unlike the coachspeak fluff and bluster of STJs recently deposed coach. I am on board but not entirely assured.

True but I think it's a big selling point and I consider them 2 totally different type players with Mullin who got every ounce of talent out of himself 10 times over. Clyde was great but I never thought of him as a potential coach the way I see Mullin and Houston Cougars are what got me into college basketball as a fan
Cougars also got me into College basketball. Grew up in Houston and was at the Dome with 50,000+ people to see the Elvin Hayes led Cougars beat Lew Alcindor (scratched eye and all) and UCLA (71-69) and break UCLA's 68 game winning streak. Most amazing electric sporting event I've ever attended.

I read the first sentence and wasn't sure where you were going with that. Then I said to myself, "Oh. Those cougars." That game was on Christmas or something, no?

No seriously, Maher's first STJ game was a date with his mom's best friend.
 
When they build a new arena, I want leather reclining seats with footrests, waiter service, and the soggy hotdogs replaced with Lobster Rolls. I want fans to get two timeouts each for bathroom breaks, and also the ability for each to eject one referee per game for bad calls.

Oh yea, and since Obekpa was suspended for smoking pot, all of you who are delirious will be drug tested immediately. Get out your paper cups, boys. Two week suspensions from Redmen.com
+1 for mentioning my favorite food. lobster rolls

At this rate my karma might be under minus 200 by the end of next season.

I have no clue how the karma thing even works

Just click the green plus next to my name. I'll give you one right now for being a great fan and good guy

There's a place right off 95 in Mystic, open in season only, called Seafood Shack or something like that. It's right on the water, and they make awesome lobster rolls. Ten minute ride from the casinos. Great stopping off point heading to Boston or Providence.

Had no idea how the karma thing worked till read this. Thought there was some Gandhi-like spirit out there who pushed the buttons.

MJ, you've mentioned you're near the huntington area... what are your thoughts on The Shack ?

Monte, I said it last night, and I'll say it again tonight: I think you've been celebrating too much. :)
 


Audio is a bit iffy in the first 10 seconds. But it gets the job done! This was the best I could do as I'm not an expert. Hopefully it will help my poor karma.

Nice Job +1. Loved the newspaper covers. I hadn't bought a newspaper in three years but picked up the News, Post and Newsday for the covers!
 


I still can't believe this is our coach. There are a too many reasons to list how great this will be for the program. Can't wait!
 
I swear, if someone comes in and says "April's Fool"..... :evil: :evil: :evil:
 
Everyone's favorite Sports Media Columnist chimes in with his thoughts. I must say, though I have my issues with Mushnick, this has been on my mind for awhile. Can we win playing the recruiting game totally clean? My gut answer is yes, but it's going to be very, very difficult.

Conscience may impede Mullin at St. John’s

Given that the quickest, straightest line to Division I coaching success is to travel a crooked path — operate without a conscience — Chris Mullin, new St. John’s coach, seems doomed.

It has nothing to do with coaching; it has everything to do with recruiting and maintaining the eligibility of his recruits and observing the rules of the road.

Mullin, his associates and mentors both know and worry, has a conscience. He not only knows right from wrong, he’s inclined to choose the former.

Most longtime recovering substance addicts wouldn’t otherwise be in recovery.

To the consternation of win-at-all-costs yahoos, such right-over-wrong coaches would not join the mad chase for kids who would place their and St. John’s name in disrepute. It’s not a coaching issue; it’s an integrity issue. Can Mullin avoid being drowned in the cesspool?

St. John's will be in New Orleans & Dallas for the first AAU weekend April 10 and will then begin home visits April 17, per source.

Not worried. There are plenty of coaches who currently coach and have success to whom integrity is extremely important and they seem to succeed.
