Mike Anderson - Former Coach

[njfan]

Although his success never materialized and his in game coaching was zilch. He never publicly embarrased the program From all that we see he was a nice guy and when nobody wanted the JOB he came in. Recruiting, from what we have seen he brought in decent players. Thank you Mike for your time and "we wish you all the best in your future endeavors"

Texas Tech will throw the bank at Pitino. Let’s hope Slick Rick wants to stay home.

Specifically, Pitino said there are “20 to 30 states where I don't want to live."

Hopefully the desolate plains of West Texas is one of them.

Maybe Georgetown will hire anderson, saves us on the buyout lol.

 

[paultzman]

Lots of luck w that lol

I feel the same as BT on this great human being but not the right coach for SJU! Now let's go get slick Rick and get this program back where it belongs.....

This was so easy to predict. Not sure why Redfazed didn’t believe it

He’s their Paultz. Just not as venerable, obviously.

Nobody compares to Paultzman!!!

Shanley has played it close to vest, but at right time got into high speed mode

That definitely is to our benefit

Is golf even enjoyable in Texas the majority of the year? Can’t imagine summers on the course in Texas being as enjoyable.

Not in Lubbock. Nothing is enjoyable in Lubbock except maybe the paycheck.

Kind of a misleading title. Weren't his first two seasons considered a success, in that he exceeded expectations?

 

[mjmaherjr]

Firing Anderson this quickly must make everyone at least somewhat confident that Pitino is a realistic option now.

Fr. Shanley just alerted college basketball that the days of dragging our feet and making a spectacle of the obvious is over.

Now let’s finish this new approach by going on a bullhorn and announce the hiring of Pitino.

He’s going big early you don’t wait. Who knows if it happens but Shanley wants to win now

QUEENS, N.Y. (March 10, 2023) – St. John’s Director of Athletics Mike Cragg announced Friday that the University has begun a national search for a new head coach to lead its men’s basketball program

New Rochelle is only a hop, skip and a jump away

New Rochelle is only a hop, skip and a jump away

It is a “Westchester Search”

He doesn't want to go there. They will be a pawn to try to get $5 million a year from a school in a state where he actually wants to live.

Didn't think Cragg/Shanley would accept accountability for flushing $10 million down the toilet for no reason. Clearly I was wrong and I'll be the first to admit it.

I loved Coach Anderson as the face of the university. Decent people don't come around that often. Norm was also decent. Sadly, decency doesn't win in sports. While I'm sad for him...if any of you were offered ten million dollars to leave town, you'd all probably be at the Port Authority this afternoon. I know I would.

 

[Larry Wright]

People trashed Chris Mullin for bad coaching, someone who did more for the program than anyone but thanking Anderson for bad coaching.
Confusing concept

Really? No reason?
