Well we are nowhere near the academic standards of Cal and Stanford! What happened at ND would never happen there!

If St. John's was developing a reputation for reprehensible behavior on and off the court, the brand would be tarnished. An isolated on court brawl for a team that has gone through a lot of the last few weeks is not commendable, but it happens. In baseball, a team in a tailspin will often start a fracas on the field to try to ignite a team. In hockey, it's still acceptable for two players to square off and pound each other. The referees stand idly by for 20 or 30 seconds before jumping in.
It's sports, it happens. Maybe if something outrageous happened, like Kermit Washington fracturing Rudy Tomjoanvich's skull many years ago, or Ron Artest going into the stands in Detroit. Robbins is a boob, period.

Good research Mr. Maher! It appears that this guy Alan is also a pro-Communist Chinese sympathizer and an anti-Catholic!
I thought this response from Robbins might be of interest to some readers. I emailed Robbins after reading his degrading article never thinking he would respond. Apparently he doesn't read carefully but I thought his response shows he might realize he is perceived as biased let alone knows he should not have even written the article. the the way he did.
Mr Robbins
IF YOU READ MY EMAIL CORRECTLY I AM STATING THAT YOU ARE NOT BIASED IN MY VIEW AND WANT ST JOHNS TO SUCCEED . MANY OTHER ST JOHNS FANS I HAVE TALKED TO FEEL YOU ARE BIASED IS WHAT I SAID.

Unlike other St. Johns fans who clearly feel you are biased against St Johns I disagree and feel you as well as the diehards want success to come back to their basketball program. I would hope as a writer you can accept corrective criticism as well as plaudits from your readers.
