Repole on the radio

[quote="weathermannyc" post=343421][quote="BasketballJones" post=343413]It took the Post less than an hour to get the article out on St. John’s being a national embarrassment. When the dust settles Repole will have made a big mistake doing this. He has the money to weather it. I just hope this doesn’t destroy the program.[/quote]

Is it good to air dirty laundry on national radio. No. Will there be negative repercussions? Absolutely. But, the mom and pop culture has been there for decades and showed no signs of going away. It was not going to be fixed with a hope and a prayer. We've had 6 consecutive coaching hires that not ended well. Something has to give. Your're worried that we could become DePaul? I've got news for you. We're ALREADY DePaul.[/quote]

No. I’m worried we won’t be in the big east or won’t have a program at all. I know we just became DePaul......again
 
[quote="Paultzman" post=343428]Idea St. John's low-balled Bobby Hurley, sources from both sides, said was not accurate. He likes life out west and got a new contract. #sjubb

Think he is correct on this.[/quote]

This is my problem with Repole. He went overboard on a few statements like this. Destroys credibility
 
[quote="MJDinkins" post=343431][quote="Paultzman" post=343426]As of last night, Mike Repole had distanced himself from the search and the school. Wanted to go big after Moser turned them down. #sjubb

On the interview, you could sense he still wanna be a part of the search, if given a chance. At least it seemed that way to me.[/quote]

This must be the only school in the country where being a billionaire doesn't buy you Athletic Department influence.
 
[quote="MJDinkins" post=343302][quote="Monte" post=343287]If Repole, who is smarter than anyone at the school and 99% of the people on this board, and who knows basketball, thinks Cluess is the right choice, then that’s good enough for me.[/quote]

Yeah, maybe.... But I think I know the game as well, so it's all subjective.[/quote]

FWIW Dink, I got you in the 1% lol
 
Downside - what coach in their right mind will want to join this shitshow now?

Cluess.

Again, a number of coaches in their right mind didn’t want us BEFORE this interview. I don’t believe this interview will have as negative an impact as some posters think.

They’re either to incompetent, to stupid or both, to even understand how their bread is buttered. I’ve long felt that the administration was a train wreck, but till today I had no idea of the magnitude
 
Not letting Chris completely off the hook, but glad that Mike defended him.
 
[quote="mjmaherjr" post=343406]50 years from now at my funeral the priest is going to say “ Mjmaherjr was a long suffering St. John’s fan but thankfully he heard the Mike Repole interview live “[/quote]

And he lived happily ever after. The End.
 
[quote="MSP710" post=343444]You can find another president but you’re not going to find another billionaire[/quote]

Other than to be able to easily have sex with hundreds of super busty Japanese women, the main reason I'd want to be a billionaire would be to strongly influence the direction of my favorite college sports programs. I can see why Repole was seething.:lol:

Exactly the kind of coach we need here. Someone who sees the potential to make us great again(MSJUGA!) and has balls and the work ethic to get the job done. Not for the faint of heart.

Let's hope. Mike Boynton, come on down...

The problem is, you've got the school's largest donor stating publicly that the school's president and right hand man don't support the basketball program the way they should, will not let the school's athletic director do his job properly, and are generally creating a toxic environment for all.

Unless I'm desperate for a new coaching gig, I'm staying far away from that scene.
