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.
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.
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
