Lol, fixed
Haven’t heard the name Nick Macarchuk mentioned yet. He’s only 10 years older than Pitino and also knows the local area and should easily pass muster with with the board of trustees in regard to any ethical concerns they may have about a proposed candidate.

Yeah it's a weird situation. The only way he's really an option is if Oklahoma State kind of nudges him out the door and waives his buyout. If Oklahoma State likes him and wants to keep him then he's likely unattainable for us. Right now they are one of the last teams projected in the field. They have an absolute murderers row of a schedule coming up down the stretch and if they struggle and miss the tourney he may not be perceived as desirable by our board and fans. If they play well and make the tournament Oklahoma State will probably want to keep him.He’s winning his way beyond our reach
Details of Boynton's contract below here - https://www.oklahoman.com/story/spo...mike-boynton-new-contract-details/7207411002/
FWIW, spoke to a good friend who knows Boynton since he was young, and said he'd be shocked if he came back East. Remember, Boynton played college ball at South Carolina, and immediately started taking coaching jobs at schools in South Carolina, followers by Texas and now Oklahoma. So it's been over 2 decades since he left Brooklyn. He has no direct info saying he wouldn't be interested, but just his thoughts.
I don't blame Hurley either for using Cragg to leverage more $$$ out of ASU. I'd do it too. No doubt the Big East and the TV people would love to play up the Bobby Hurley - Danny Hurley matchup. He's a Duke guy, and he may also want to be closer to home.
Have not heard about his health, but hope he's doing well. There was a video clip on Twitter of him back at pre-season practice, where he visited his former assistant Grasso, who's now HC at Bryant University, gave a talk to the team and sounded good.
My Illiniois resident and MQ fan during Wojo's time friend warned me about Curbelo, and confirmed Wojo is a douche. There's no love lost between him and the MQ fan base.
Will be great then when we beat them twice a year under Wojo’s coaching
But alas, his overall record was 374–428 (.466).Haven’t heard the name Nick Macarchuk mentioned yet.

St. Johns needs a Big Splash hire. The program is dead, no interest, not thought about, considered worthless by many casual fans. The last big splash hire we had was Steve Lavin. The Johnnies were the hot school and Lavin brought in the recruits.
It would seen to me that the only coach out there to provide that splash now is Rick P. The school has a chance to rectify all the dumb ass idiotic mistakes its made over the decades with one simple hire. If they don't get this guy, the school may fade away into the shadow of mediocrity forever.

After losing at home to Northwestern tonight, Ohio State fans are about as finished with Holtmann as we are with CMA. Haven’t thought his job was even close to being in danger until now. Ohio State has some super high expectations for their program and the fans are fed up with Holtmann. Interesting to see if tOSU makes a move on him or if he tries to skip town before he gets run out. Could see Notre Dame making a play for him if he’s looking to get out.

If no Rick, then I wouldn't mind.
Pat Keysey, Dusty May, Matt Langel, and Grant McCasland. Mark Turgeon but why would he come to SJU.
Not that my heart would be in it, but their coaching records are pretty good.

Mullin was a splash hire. A risky experiment that got a ton of publicity and excited the fan base. Until things went off the rails. CMA was an anti-splash hire, the solid steady guy who was going to right the ship. It’s a shame it didn’t work out.
I agree that SJU should make another splash hire, but am highly doubtful they will. If the Hoyas hire Pitino, then things will indeed get ugly with the SJU fan base.
