If he leaves, Sheed could be wasting 1-2 years of a valuable education - learning directly from an NBA HOFer who played textbook perfect basketball.
Chris is a guy that probably a lot of HS coaches in the area grew up idolizing (like Mike Vaccaro wrote that he did).[/quote]
A lot of guys on this board grew up drinking with him at Jpods or Gantry's but that's for another thread.
All kidding aside, I really respect that he comes back to our school, a New York guy finally committing to turn a NY program around or at least give it a go. Too many slick Rick's talk about it and never mad it happen. I will give my full support to someone like him.

I know there is that "no coaching experience" thing buggin' some o' y'alls, but if I saw us lose Lavin to bring in Masiello, I'd be depressed.
Forget the semantics, this guy is basketball legend. Yeah, he wouldn't be the first to get chewed up by being a coach, but ya know what? I am not going there with my mindset, there are too many upsides. And if this program is forever dormant, at least the greatest took a shot at playing Lazarus.
Respect to Chris and thank you for taking on this challenge. Should be fun too. And to those who worry about kids not knowing who he is, a simple Chris Mullin youtube mix and their "inner circle" of armchair ball boys will be quick to fix that. This guy is a big deal in basketball, simple as that. And I can't imagine with all that he's seen, he's going to have some butchered operation in place.
PS: think he can keep 'Sheed despite what CBS article says. Just a hunch. If Chris talks about the league, I think Mr. Jordan has grown enough to maybe just listen.
Peace.

While I thought hiring an experienced college coach was the right move, I applaud the school for going in this direction. If we go down, we do it with our all time best. If we succeed, it will be even sweeter. I know 1 thing: the type of player and style of play we saw under Norm and Lavin is likely a thing of the past. I expect to see a lot of solid 3 point shooting in the near future, great ball movement, and unselfish play overall. And a lot of quality kids coming here. As for those who say the young players won't know Chris, I highly doubt that. They live and breath basketball. I just watched a special on the dream team on NBA TV last night. A lot of today's players know their history. With Youtube, highlights are easily accessible. Just like Mike Tyson used to watch old fight films with Cus D'Amato, I expect the high school players of today know who Mullin was, and will love to play for him.
