Mullin vs. Ewing

Unfortunately I think what it will be is a nice distraction for ST John's and Georgetown fans. Makes sense if if both programs continue to stink there won't be as much anger at the program that there normally would be.

I do think we will be tourney contenders for the next couple years but beyond that I question if this transfer route will be able to sustain any long term success.

If we ever get half the "eye 4 talent" Gonzaga has shown over the years I'll be happy. Of course, being successful helps but if talent from around the world can be attracted to Spokane then we have no excuses. It is very frustrating that the two Vincention schools have been the only Big East members who look more suitable for the A10.

When my wife found out about Ewing thing she said: "That is cool, all the BE schools should hire their star player from the 80's" I had to explain to her that the only schools that could possible do that would Nova hiring Pickney and Seton Hall hiring Andre Mcleod? Mark Bryant? Rest of the original BE is spread out in other conferences though most are in the ACC.
 
That idiot Craig Carton said this morning that to give GTown "street cred" and be able to relate to the young kids, that Patrick should hire the following generation GTown star, Allen Iverson, as his assistant coach.

What an idiotic idea. Boomer basically told him that was a crazy idea.

Remember AI, had that famous line : "Practice?.....did you say Practice.....?"

Carton was one of the first to say Ewing to Gtown and also threw out rumor about Romo stealing Phil Simms job.
 
Max Kellerman hating on Chris Mullin when reacting to Ewing being hired at G'town:

"How'd that work out when St John's went to Chris Mullin or when Drexler went to Houston?"

If you did your homework, Max, you would know that Mullin inherited a disaster, that the team showed marked improvement this year and that we expect to compete for a post season berth next season

It pisses me off when a talking head throws crap out there and hope it sticks to the wall when they have no idea what they're talking about. Do your research before you talk in the future, Max.

I am with Mullin to the end but his and Drexler's records almost identical. He needs time but comparison is understandable.

It is if you don't do your homework. What Mullin inherited can't be compared to anything, call me a Mullinite, but that is the truth.

Yeah Drexler inherited the Golden State Warriors.
Again any other coach and I would openly be questioning this process. I am not, no matter what happens but you can't get mad at the comparison because it is not ridiculous.
He is Chris Mullin. Really hope it works but would not bet my house on it and things have not gone swimingly to say the least.
 
ewing's hire means that Mullin's quote about the recent dust-up that "I was afraid that young Patrick was going to beat me up like his father used to", is pretty funny, next time Patrick Sr. will beat you up again.

I'd like Ewing's staff to be his kid, jarvis' kid and The Answer.

Lets stop apologizing for Mullin. He went in with his eyes wide open and convinced Bobby G that he could turn around St. John's to an eighties version at 2 million per, plus huge budget for assistants. Georgetown is now looking for their version of the eighties with Ewing, however at least he has NBA coaching experience.

Not at all mad and comparing Mullin's situation to any other coach makes no sense. Name me another coach who inherited a roster in the spring completely devoid of legitimate D1 players. And the jury is certainly still out on Mullin as a coach but judging him now in any way is nonsense IMO.

No one is apologizing for anyone, if you think there is enough of a body of work to judge Mullin as a coach, judge away, I don't and that's all I am saying. And money has nothing to do with whether he turns out to be a success as a coach or not, the absolutely silliest argument you could make. And if you expected there to be any possibility of an "80's version" of SJU by now you are just kidding yourself.
 
I can't possibly see Patrick Ewing doing well at Georgetown, which warms my heart.

Don't be so sure. Ewing has 15 years experience as an NBA assistant and has a very good rep within the NBA of coaching big men and bigs always seem to want to go to G'town. Let's see what kind of staff he assembles before righting his epitaph. That said hope he doesn't succeed but if you really want your heart warmed it would have been better if they kept JT3.

This post is spot on!!
Mullin inherited a dumpster fire
The team was markedly better at the end of this season than when he took it over
Unless there is a major injury, it is fair to expect a post season berth next season
If we don't make the NIT (at least), people would have a right to question the hire
But to have expected much better than this after two years is downright foolish IMO

I think we should just make a rule. If you are old enough to have watched Mullin play you should not criticize him. If you were less than 10 in 1985 have at him.
