Classy kid!

That boat's the size of the Titanic and on dangerous waters as well.

Waiting for MakingPlays to return home from his vacation in the woods with no cell phone service to make his goodbye speech

He's busy today

Here's my guess(based on absolutely nothing), some big donor stepped forward and said to SJU "you pay off Anderson, and I'll put up the money to hire Pitino".

You pay for your mistake and I’ll pay for the solution

What time and channel is the Iona game. I cant believe i actually want to watch an Iona game tonight, just saying

Check the bubble above his head

Pinzons 3pt% was the worst of the 3.

I think Pinzon has the best form and shooting potential on the team…I think his % was adversely impacted by his tendency to force shots which was a function of knowing the balls wasn’t coming back once he passed it. Given the chance to settle in and if used properly, he would be a reliable open shooter. Frankly, we should have employed inside/outside strategy w/ him, Storr and Soriano

Exactly 75'. Hell, Pitino probably found the donor to put up the money to pay him lol

Wow! I believe anderson did and dos get his fair share of trashing. But respectful fans also dont need to kick him on the way out the door. He was a face of the program, recruited, also brought in top assistants, not just his buddies. Anderson won BE coach of the year, almost would of won the Big East tourny the covid year. Is he an awful in game coaching, ,YES. But you can tell his guys played their buts off and I also believe we all thanked Chris on his way out too. "Stay Classy San Diego" as ron burgundy would say

Respectful and classy, you won't find much of that on this site.

 

[AlBovino]

Thank you Coach Anderson for your 4 years. While we never got over the hump and into the tourney, we weren't embarrassed during your tenure. The kids loved you , a testament to your character. But, unfortunately good guys don't guarantee huge success . Good luck in your future endeavors as you leave us.

Now that is thoughtful and classy.

Honest question does Anderson coach again? I believe he might at a mid major aka amaker at Harvard or maybe to Iona they will soon have an opening . Now wouldn't that be funny but good for coach.

I wonder who that may be???

I will give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don’t count!

Can't say for certain, but would venture a guess that his name ends in a vowel

Admittedly this is 3rd hand - friend of a friend of a source (someone impacted) said Repole provided funding for buyout.

Who knows? But, if so, good news and possible NIL help.

Imagine if its is true, we’ll get a sense at some point.

I think you are spot on Monte! We all know who I am referring to and I truly believe that he will do everything in his power to make Pitino our next coach!

Whether he provided funding for the buyout and/or the new hire, it's all good. He's a winner, a local guy and a diehard fan. It was completely foolish of the school to not maintain a relationship with him. My sense is that Shanley sees that.
