[quote="simplyred" post=344415][quote="MCNPA" post=344411]Anderson is a good coach and can bring in talent. I know he has no roots here but he checks all the other boxes. Would be a win for SJU for sure. Just hope he hires some strong tri-State area recruiters and not just all the southern guys he is comfortable with. Definitely a good coach. Can’t argue with a pick like that.[/quote]
Slice is still on payroll[/quote]
Good we can use Slice to move the new desk into Mike's office!
Sources: Mike Anderson is emerging as a strong favorite to be the next head coach at St. John's. Former head coach at Arkansas, Missouri, and UAB. #SJUBB

It's not done yet, but all signs pointing to Mike Anderson getting the St. John's job. Paul Hewitt is out. #sjubb
47% said he should not be fired. Since fans are always very critical, that is a pretty good %. Certainly he would not have been fired at St. John's given his track record.
Disappointing overall no doubt, but this may be the best case possible after all the **** ups by Oliva and co.
Mike Anderson would be an outside the box choice for #sjubb but he's won in 3 tough places by recruiting to a pressing running style that draws talented kids. His nephew has been a great addition to the #nets. Wonder if Uncle Mike would consider NYC??

#SJUBB is holding a press conference at 4pm at MSG to announce Mike Anderson. The way it went down,Paul Hewitt and James Jones were setup to be part of a Dog & Pony Show.
His staff will be so key. I'm sure he will want to bring someone like Melvin Watkins with him to SJU. HIs Associate HC at Arkansas. But he is going to need at least 1 not 2 local guys to help with recruiting this area.
Yes as down as I was about the program yesterday and earlier today this is quite a big turn around a hire that I like a lot. If it goes down I will send a thank you email to Mike Cragg and keep my season tickets!

Okay, I'll pay for the taxi from LGA to the campus...
