Slice Sighting

Why doesn't the school/staff just cut bait with the guy? How does he recruit when it appears he would rather be at another school?

Aside from being on the hook for $2 million for an assistant, I'm not sure visiting a longtime friend in the hospital is grounds for dismissal. If he wants to leave, let him quit.

Does Kentucky have an opening? If not, I'm only mildly concerned.
 
Without Howie Garfinkel much of the hoopaholic world in which this site thrives, might not exist.

Where did you come to the conclusion that he would rather be elsewhere ?
Did he come out and say so ?
Has he told you he would rather be elsewhere ?
Visiting a sick elderly man in the hospital seems like a very nice gesture on his part and is not under any legal system grounds for dismissal.
He may not be happy, which I do not doubt, but he would not be the first highly paid employee who is not thrilled with their job.
I continue to be optimistic that the internal conflicts on our staff will be resolved.
 
Relationships are currency in the world of recruiters. Slice didn't become Slice by burning bridges and walking away from relationships at every stop. I expect he has friends and contacts at every place he's ever set down his suitcase. Doesn't mean he wants to go to work at any of them.

My brother (who was third team all city for Power Memorial before Alcindor) played for Howie (the Nationals) and thought the world of him. Very considerate of his players. Howie was one of the early "bird dogs" scouting for college prospects.
 
Met Garf several times in last few years, most recently on Park Avenue near Grand Central Station. Good man!

Btw, I posted photo to show Garf being visited by Slice, not to infer anything re Cal.

Not going to address issues that may or may not exist between Slice and Matt. Let's just keep in mind that he didn't stop being friends with Calipari because he defected, In fact, Cal gave him his blessing.

The fact that Cal came to NY to visit an ailing friend and perhaps contacted Slice to come along doesn't necessarily mean anything.

No one likes losing, but he's a big boy who took a lot of money knowing full well that he was going to be part of a re-building process. I'd hate to think that one losing season has him thinking about bolting.

Why is everyone so certain that it's Slice that wants to leave?

Whoa! Getcha popcorn ready.

Not sure, but I certainly wasn't implying that.

I have no idea what is going on within the staff or if there even is anything going on but Matt has remained very visible while Barry has not; there has never been a need for Paultz to post a Matt sighting. All too mysterious for me to really care.
 
Asked friends in a.d. not drfinitive ,but they were not awate of any rift whatsoever. Doesn't mean that one doesn"t exist but could mean that the speculation here of a pending seoaration on here was completely overblown.

Clearly was a problem, but last I heard there was also an effort to resolve it.

Not an iota of doubt in my mind that Paultzman and Moose's sources are correct on this one.

This type of drama tore apart Threes Company. Once Suzanne Sommers started feuding with John Ritter and the other girl the show was never the same. Hopefully Slice, Matt and Mullin can reconcile so SJU does not suffer the same fate. Of course Threes company was much better than the 2015 /16 ST John's basketball team so maybe change will be good?
