Mullin: “We’ve got motivation for I think the next 30 years.” #sjubb
Does that mean he'll be here that long?
It would be great to see, since would mean that he is very successful here.

Article in today's NY Times.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/10/s...-finds-there-is-a-lot-of-work-to-do.html?_r=0
Excerpt:
Vin Parise, a Big East analyst for Fox Sports, said he thought Mullin fared better than his record would indicate, noting a hard-fought loss to Seton Hall on Feb. 21 that showed development. He added that the effort from the St. John’s players all season was an indication of their desire to compete for him.
“To me, it was obvious when you look at their eye contact and facial expressions when he’s talking to them,” Parise said, “and they respect his opinion so much.”
But, Parise added, in a league that is largely dominated by veteran guards, St. John’s lack of experience in the backcourt was evident. The team finished last in the league in scoring average, field-goal percentage, rebounding margin and turnovers.
“They’re very young, and it showed offensively, playing this many young kids,” Parise said. “But I think the one thing that Chris showed is that his teams are always going to bring it in the effort department.”

Thanks PS Monte and others
To repeat what likely has been posted elsewhere... drumroll....
Chris Mullin promised the best conditioned hardest working team...and successful recruiting...he never promised Ws, lack of TOs, missed free throws
Just the hardest working, best conditioned team which to me means = effort!
Our kids played with effort and heart. I appreciated that. Looking forward to the 2016-17 roster.
all the best

Article says Christian Jones may not return
Mullin had three strikes against him from day one:
1. Getting hired in late Mar or early Apr and not having a relationship with the current high school coaches in the area
2. Having almost nothing returning from last year's team
3. Competing in a top level league
