The only coach that St. John’s should be focused on getting should Anderson leave ,should be Pitino.Pitino knows how to win with what he has at hand.Pitino and St.John have desires to be relevant in the big stage of bb.Leave Pitino’s past personal history be judged by God.I have never ever met a perfect human being.Pitino’s bb record speaks for itself.4 and 5 star players would love to play for him.

You give the school too much credit. They did, after all, bring in a three time convicted felon (Rapper), one of which was for domestic violence, to perform at the team's opening night festivities. And they were most aware of this. It seems like the school will selectively forgive, or overlook such indiscretions unless a particular individual's feathers are ruffled. Hopefully they can find it in their hearts to forgive Mr. Pitino if it has a tremendous positive impact on the basketball program and university as a whole.stjohnnie75 post=464297 said:

I hear you and I have no idea what Anderson will do, won’t do and even what is real and what isn’t re the rumors. My post more had to do with how members of this fanbase publicly slander the people who came to help fix the disfunction that they’ve suddenly decided Anderson and Cragg should be blamed for.P Simmons post=464317 said:

Am I crazy in thinking that for what could be a big-time program, our "fanbase" on these boards and twitter has an outsized influence, relative to other programs in similar conferences, on the the program (hiring / firing / turnover of players)?
It just seems that there are so few fans online, that garbage twitter "suggestions" and a few posts on fan boards can rise to the top because they are outlandish?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen elsewhere...but it feels like it's perhaps more effective in damaging here, because we have a smaller online presence? There are probably only a hundred or so regular posters...which isn't a lot. So a couple of nuts can have an outsized influence.

It certainly wouldn't hurt at all if more people took to Twitter to offset the idiots. I am pretty sure that is what some of the folks who are related to some of our players and recruits are doing by making themselves more visible and going out of their way to post positive things about the staff and program. I give them a lot of credit for that - and it shows you that high character folks like CMA attract high character kids with high character families. It's a shame that they have to deal with the trolls online but that's life today.
I wonder if those idiots could be persuaded to go impersonate Seton Hall or UConn or Georgetown fans and get their jollies out that way. It would be a win/win - they could continue to escape their apparently miserable lives by sh&t posting while doing something constructive to help our program at the same time.
Too bad those ideas never work in real life...
Queens all and P. Simmons, you have both done a great job of encapsulating the problem.
The program will be better off for the sake of stability having a solid coach like Anderson in place. And it is not a good look for the university to be searching for another head coach.
But there are times when you get that call from home, you must answer. And when you are entering year four with a little extra pressure, then it may be the final push. It isn’t anything that SJU could do to change it. Leaving for home may have always a consideration for Cragg when Anderson was hired.
Whatever happens, happens. I have nothing bad to say about anyone in this. I will wish Anderson and his family the best. He is a true gentleman.
Family first. Life is too short. If you have the opportunity to do what you love to do, while being around loved ones as you do it, then go for it. Lord knows I would take it. We all need to keep that in mind.
We are…

Well said, Brian.
So at about the same exact time. Matt Norlander says he’s not going to Tulsa.- “Source—St. John’s coach Mike Anderson is no longer a candidate for the Tulsa opening. Anderson’s buyout is in the $2.5 million range, Tulsa isn’t flush with cash, interest not mutual.
Anderson’s been connected to the job because he’s a Tulsa alum, got his start in coaching there”
While the coaching changes Twitter handle says he’s definitely going. - “Mike Anderson to Tulsa is going to happen. It probably would have happened anyway, but an unhappy wife means an unhappy life and Mrs. Anderson apparently hates New York City.”
Norlander putting his name and credibility behind it would hope means more.

You are fanning a smoldering board, right after a tough season ending. Your post was implicit in calling for his head, and it was completely unecessary. Just look at this. You know you did it. Don't act dumb.IDRAFT post=464339 said:

Think youre unreasonably drawing conclusions and deciding what his intent was. IDraft has always been extremely reasonable and open for any type of discussion. He posed questions that were typed out, and if you want to look at them as snappy or negative you could. Or you could read them as genuine questions.
