Mike Boynton?

[quote="panther2" post=343173]Mike Boynton won 21 games in his first year at Oklahoma State. The team struggled last year. However, he is a local person who has recruited nationally. From what I hear, a lot of local AAU coaches would support him. I have also heard that he would be interested in coming to St Johns.

I would rather have a young hungry coach who is willing to work hard to build a program, than a Mid Major coach who has been successful elsewhere. With the right assistants, I believe that he could do a very good job here.[/quote]

Absolutely, Boynton seems like a very good candidate.

Regarding the team's struggles last year, Boynton had to dismiss three players for conduct unbecoming (one was former SJU recruit Maurice Calloo). He also lost a number of players to transfer (2), professional contracts (2), and to graduation (3). So, I don't think last year is a fair representation of his coaching ability.

This is all I need to know to support this potential candidate.

Zach just tweeted that Boynton isn't interested in the job. There goes that.

Now is that the truth, or what a guy would say if he was trying to keep his interest a secret for a while longer?

Panther said he was interested, Zach said he heard he wasn't. I've got to believe Panther on this one, but maybe interest waned/evaporated after Repole interview.
 
Cathartic day, but can’t be a motivator for potential candidates to be kind.

Brian W. is about due to make an appearance blaming fans for the coaching change.

Braziller deleted his tweet about Boynton FWIW.

Zach just took back his tweet :dry:
 
Not sure of how his coaching is but I remember him from the 90s and his great hair. I'm all for the hire. [attachment=873]giphy (1).gif[/attachment]
 
Interesting choice but isn't it all for naught. OK State can swoop in with Boone bucks to keep him
 
On the WFAN Boomer and Gio show this morning they reported that Boynton’s buyout is $7M. If there is interest on both sides, we aren’t paying that.
