Tiny Wants St. John's Job / Daily News
- Thread starter jerseyshorejohnny
- Start date
Understood that Morton wants the job. At best, a few years ago he might have gotten the DOBO job. With that said, what has Tiny done for SJU all these years? The only contributing player he has steered us was none other than drumroll... Eugene Lawrence. I don't think Tiny ever helped SJU with his players. Now he wants a job because it is obvious that what Lavin touches turns to gold. No thanks...

You said it better than I could. Can't believe that Daily News became a mouthpiece for this stuff.
I like how Tiny says he's not "vying" for a job yet thats EXACTLY what he's doing lol. *facepalm*

Along with Coach Lavin's other proven skills I guess he needs to politely handle situation like this. It would be interesting to wonder what Coach is really thinking.

Have to agree Ljsa. There was never any good or positive comments about Tiny on Redmen.com.

I don't think Lavin has to address it at all. How many times have you sent in a resume and didn't hear back from the company? Granted this is a little more public, but still think Lavin can keep it private and has no need to make a public comment.

You mean no one likes him from a far have you met him in person?How come he attracts
very good players at Lincoln? they must like him for his BB IQ

Not sure why anyone is attacking Tiny. He probably picked the wrong way to go about campaigning for the assistant job and he wouldn't be the guy to replace Dunlap.. But people are wrong about him. He is very well liked in NY by kids and wouldn't be bad for a Dobo spot. Can't fault the guy for having higher aspirations .

I would have no problem with Tiny in a DOBO role if everyone just gets a bump.
One thing we have to keep in mind is that if we do bring Tiny on board, any players he's coached are off limits for the next couple of years. I don't know if that impacts any of our big targets for '13 or '14, but maybe one of the others on the board can comment. Other than showing that he's establishing a local pipeline for coaches, I don't see what we get out of Tiny joining our staff. We need a more college level assistant coach, as others have said.

I know nothing about the NY HS hoops scene except what I've read here over the past 15 years. The feelings I get about Morton are that some think he's dirty in the way he attacted players to transfer to Lincoln. Not sure why or how but its been stated frequently by some of his critics.
