I'll recap the discussion, because you seem to have lost your way.
A poster asked why you were being so hard on Mullin, after giving Norm a pass, and then Lavin a pass. You said it was because
"he [mullin] definitely is getting a pass on stuff that people didn't give lavin a pass for because people were Mullin sju fans."
"[Mullin is given a pass for] the same thing people were killing Lavin for [when] actually I saw Lavin doing more on the sidelines"
I asked you to name those things that Lavin got killed for that Mullin is getting a pass on. That was all I asked. You came up with (1) people allegedly upset about Mike Dunlap being the X and O guy (which I think never happened and quite the opposite) (2) complaints about the Pitt game (which I find highly unlikely) and (3) Bobre (who is unhinged). The only thing on that list that's even comparable is the the X And O thing and lots of people are not giving Mullin a pass about that. Quite the opposite: lots of people are wondering why Slice addresses the team during time outs and what Saint Jean is doing with the white board and why Mullin sits on the scorer's table rather than on the bench imparting wisdom to his players. So he's not getting a pass. His seeming detachment is in fact the thing he is most criticized for. It is in fact what leads people like you to wonder whether he can be a successful head coach.
If I had asked you to merely name someone who criticized Lavin you could have mentioned: me. I killed him for four years with language so brutal that he and his wife and even Ron Linfonte blocked me on Twitter despite the fact that I never addressed any of them directly; in the wake of something I wrote about Cap on a website that a moderator of this site held a super secret vote to have me banned from here, based on something he read elsewhere of his own volition. I take a back seat to NO ONE in killing Lavin and certainly not the person whose name you mentioned that I won't repeat lest he appear and write a 9-paragraph essay on the differences between the box and one and the alley opp.
Ten months was hyperbole and is anyway relevant only because the OP mentioned how long you hung on for Norm. Most relationships have a honeymoon period. Even Lavin and I had one, briefly. You meet a girl and she has a lilting laugh that makes your heart sing. Three years later she laughs one too many times and you cut her head off and dissolve her body in a vat of lye in the basement. Because what was once charming is no longer. You do not seem to find Mullin's new laugh as beguiling 10 months in as you find Lavin's tired grating cackle after 100. That's odd, considering what Chris Mullin has meant to the university and what he ha accomplished in his basketball career - as opposed to Lavin, a gaseous lazy oleaginous charlatan. It's odd.
Doc Butler has disapproved of every SJU coach since Joe Buck Freeman. This year he wrote a long post IN ALL CAPS about how Mullin was a failure after the first exhibition loss in November. Mullin did not get a pass from Doc Butler.
Now you're just making stuff up. I never mentioned Burrell, you did. You said that the Burrell quote spawned discussions in which Lavin got killed. All I said was that it was highly unlikely that Lavin got killed in the aftermath of the Pitt win, which was about the most important win in recent history and one of the more exciting basketball games I've ever seen. That Burrell said something in the Post is not proof of a discussion that you Lavin got killed here. And unless you claiming that Chris Mullin is getting a pass from Burrell, who cares what Burrell said.
That's wise. You should in fact have settled before trial, because none of your evidence is relevant. I didn't say no one criticized Lavin ever for anything. No one criticized Lavin longer and more unfairly and more vociferously than I did. I merely asked you to please name the things Chris Mullin is getting a pass for that Lavin was pilloried for. That you have not been able to do. You have not been able to do it because your premise is false.
I didn't say or at least wasn't my point that people criticized the fact that Dunlap was the X&O coach. But some people did most definitely knock Lavin for his own lack of X&O's and Dunlap taking a large roll in some of the huddles during breaks. ( or they would give Dunlap all the credit a backhanded slap without saying it to Lavin ) This most definitely happened because I remember specifically sitting in carnesseca with some of the guys here and starting to pay attention to it and watching dunlap sitting not even with the coaching staff but sitting on the baseline watching the game taking notes etc. And I'm not saying it was widespread criticism but there were definitely some that were knocking Lavin for that shortcoming of his and there were definitely some people knocking him for sitting next to keady talking to him during games not much unlike what Mullin does with Richmond now. And if anything Lavin was more animated than Mullin on the sideline but to be fair there were games that I would watch and the people that had mentioned it about Lavin weren't wrong because I would notice it too once and a while because our seats are right behind the bench in the upper section and right across from the bench at msg so it's an area you have your eyes toward a lot when the ball is on that side of the court. And there really wasn't a need for me to say anything because we were winning and that 1st year once we got past the fordham game or maybe a little further than that we went on the best run I had seen as a season ticket holder so there wasn't anything for me to complain about personally
