We'll all see when it's official. If deal done then why are they keeping it a secret?
Atleast we should all know by tomorrow morning or I guess he sent you bs.
I mean if it's a done deal, sju won't let us know?

This sounds quite legit, especially his reference to Papagiannis.
His coming is knowledge that's quite privy.

Front court of Obekpa, Papa New Guinea and diallo would be pretty sick. Add the Italian kid and sheed and we're in pretty good shape
I mean the thing is, usually schools float out some type of vote of confidence to the coach if they're planning to bring him back. That's not saying you're wrong or anything, but this whole thing is just a bit weird.
Today we've had two different sources who are very confident, one saying he will get fired and one saying he will get extended. This is just crazy.
whatever you want to fault Lavin for if CJ and FB are complaining they've got no legs to stand on. They had a bunch of opportunities to shine and we really could have used both of them. CJ is one of the most frustrating players I've ever watched at St John's. He looks like he's bored and got better things to do every time he's on the floor. How many rebounds did CJ stand and watch, or two footers did FB miss when they got PT? I thought a lot higher of FB coming into this season than most but he really did not maximize his opportunities and that is on him. In a season where we were desperate for muscle, CJ was a limp noodle.
I read Paultz picture avatar language like others used to read DLO's body language. I find myself looking everyday to see what pic Paultz has put up to get a clue as to what's happening
Paultz, the people have got to know, is he waving hello or goodbye?
Problem is no one knows -- regardless of scouting hype and guru rankings -- who will "actually contribute at this level." We were all disappointed when 5-star Jermaine Lawrence picked Manhattan over St. John's after an abysmal freshman season at Cincinnati. Who knew that his time at Manhattan would be even worse, putting up insignificant stats and then being dropped for the final six games or so of the season for violating team rules (sound familiar?). And many of us wanted Jon Severe, another highly touted local kid, who's been a total -- and disruptive -- bust at Fordham (let alone at the BE level). And five-star Isaiah Whitehead has proved to be anything but a one-and-done talent. Bottom line: Identifying talent isn't such an easy thing to do; and sometimes taking kids who are projected as being "better suited" for a lower level of play turn out to be hidden gems.

And for what it's worth, I also just got a text saying that there's been "no word on Monasch" but that "a lot people prefer Ed Kull who was former assistant AD and now works as the Acting VP for Institutional Advancement".
There, I am done being the messenger :woohoo:

Or 5 years as another poster noted.

They could let every sju fan know that he's coming back or not, then say that they are working out a few minor things on the contract.

With total disregard for what is being said and by who, my thought is Lavin is getting extended just by following this process and using a bit of common sense.
If they were going to fire him, it would be done. I have NEVER heard of an administration calling a coach in for an hour and a half to allow him to try and talk his way out of losing his job. It just doesn't work that way. The decision is done, you call him in, break the news, then you announce it to let people know St. John's is hiring, and you start the search for a new coach. The fact this is taking so long is that the only thing they are negotiating is Lavin's extension. When somebody is fired it is usually all business, it is not this drawn out.

It's official. Regardless of what the decision will be, this could have been handled better.
We have several open scholarships and two players deciding whether to return. It is also getting ridiculously late in the recruiting cycle and we blew off an entire week. We have also furthered the perception that the program is a circus show. (see J. Rothstein's piece today)
President Bobby did NOT step up. Guess we will "just let it play out".
