DePaul should figure out how to hire the Loyola coach. Mitch Richmond should just stay in California.[/quote]
Just waiting for someone to go there. Fact is if you were a DePaul fan and they hired Moser before this year you would have been off the charts negative. Before the current 32-5 this year he had been a head coach for 13 years with 6 winning seasons, 3 in his last 10. Never finished higher than 5th in any year in 3 different conferences. Best record before this year was 24-13 which included winning the post season CBI tournament. Lifetime record of 194-206, 140-172 in his last ten. This is his 7th year at Loyola where he was 89-105 until this year with two winning seasons out of his first six. So you see you would have long spent the last few years demanding he be fired or sarcastically mocking him. Like it or not, it is hard, it takes time, it takes loyalty and conviction. And by the way, two of his very key players, Townes and Custer, are transfers.[/quote]
Ironically, you are the same basketball analytical genius that completely discounts Steve Lavin's overall record at just two fckg schools!
NINE post season appearances in ELEVEN years.
FIVE Sweet 16's.
You're the same guy that knocked him for ruining the St. John's season by getting cancer and ridiculed him for taking time off in the middle of the season to mourn his dad in California.
You're a real humanitarian!
While you were busy knocking Porter Moser going back to the year gimel, you could have just focused on his past 4 years where he had winning records 3 out of the past four. While you were at it, you could have pointed out that this year he and his small team have played inspired basketball with a roster that not only includes 2 transfers but 8 freshmen and sophomores. Question to you: how many players left Coach Moser these past two years. How many left Chris Mullin?
Let's stop knocking coaches that have had success in winning basketball while making excuses for our 3 years of losing more than winning. I don't expect Mullin to get to the Final Four next year even if he had 5 five star players but I expect him to recruit better players than Poser can at Loyola-Chicago and win at least 20 games next year,[/quote]
Hypocrisy.... Squashed.[/quote]
As usual you are full of sh*t. You never heard me discount Lavin’s record, not once, never, ever. I knocked Lavin repeatedly and over and over for not working, If I find out for sure that is Mullin’s MO I will go after him with the same zeal. And I never, NEVER said a word against Lavin while he was recovering from cancer and if that is why he quit working he should not have come back so shove your bs where the sun don’t shine you lying sack of sh*t. You want to come at me for what I post, no problem, but you are a make it up phoney from the word go. And don’t come back here taking one of my old posts out of context, you loser.[/quote]
I'm assuming you're directing this at '72.[/quote]
Even if he didn't direct it to me Dink please allow me to retort.
Dear Logen, perhaps you took my post out of context.
I could easily ask the great mods here to search the archives to rebut your denials but they have better things to do. But, being a card carrying member of the Steve Lavin regular lynching crew a few years ago your spinning your story doesn't surprise me. When you agreed with an entitled UCLA blogger about his prediction about Steve Lavin failing at St. John's you de facto agreed to diminish his record as did many here. He was fired after 6 years because at UCLA he only went to 5 sweet sixteens with an elite 8 appearance. At St. John's he was fired after going to 4 post season appearances.
You bashed him mercilessly but I doubt it was because he wasn’t working hard or as hard as Chris Mullin over these three years. I would love to see Chris snag a 5 star Jordan Brown or any 5 star player but thus far Steve Lavin's targets, some of whom Mullin inherited, were higher rated and better players.
That lazy Lavin went after players like Kyle Anderson, Amile Jefferson, Isaiah Briscoe, Isaiah Whitehead, Cheik Diallo, Steven Zimmerman, Jakarr Sampson, Mo Harkless, God's Gift Achiuwa, Dwayne Polee, Chris Obekpa, Rysheed Jordan, Brandon Sampson, Dom Pointer, D'Angelo Harrison, Phil Greene, Jamal Branch, Federico Mussini, Marcus LoVett, and a fan favorite here Amir Garrett, among others that were NOT 5 star or 4 star players. I would throw in Adonis Delarosa but Matt is trying to recruit him as a grad transfer so guys like you would credit Mullin for him.
Now, show me who Mullin has pursued and signed after 3 years that rivals those names without mentioning Slick. Perhaps you can apply your "time-and-motion" analytical skills to tell us how hard Mullin is working as you appear ready to deligentlty evaluate Mullin, not on his record, but his work ethic. You did it so well and honestly with Lavin and I trust you will do the same soon in maybe year 4, 5 or 6 for Mullin regardless of his record because that is what you apparently did with Lavin.
