The problem with that is, as long as people continue to go to games no matter what the result then your just as responsible for the demise of the program as the AD and coaching staff.

Somehow a strong statement must be made that the fans won’t settle for mediocrity, or in this situation shit basketball.

Looks like I made the right choice to stop watching at half time. I don’t think the administration really cares about b-ball anymore, I think it’s an after thought.

We could all use some cheering up with a blast of optimism that things will get better.

Making Plays? Where are you?

Not bad enough I have indigestion you want me to vomit too ?

Do you have to pay a buyout to a person who quits. CMA has essentially quit on the team and program If he had any pride/decency he would resign

They paid Mullin!

 

[L J S A]

Heard Van and Shoes approached CMA about some proposed changes to game planning and were rebuffed. Trouble in river city throughout the program I sense.

This might be worthy of its own thread.

It doesn't look like there's much coaching going on, right? Fire him with cause, and in the two years it takes for CMA's case to go through the courts, Pitino would have made us enough to pay CMA.

Yes but Catholic Church ushers get to keep 10%, right?

No vig for the ushers, sorry.

At some point we are going to have the conversation we have had for years. Is this the best St. John’s can be. I still stubbornly believe that we should be able to find 5 or 6 kids and a good Coach to play Big East level basketball. I know we are not getting a bunch of 5 stars but we are going to have to work to find the kids and a Coach that can make it happen.

Our point guards are good at each shooting over 15% from 3.

 

[JohnnyFan]

What is our team good at?

They are good at giving up uncontested 3 point shots
They are good at giving up layups
They are good at missing free throws
They are good at missing layups
They are good at missing 3 point shots

It all adds up to : WE ARE BAD

Oh wait.....we're also good at rolling the ball on the inbound and preserving time by not picking it up right away. I mean......who does that better than Curbelo?

If Anderson is back anyone that buys tickets and goes to a game is part of the problem. A totally empty building will speak volumes.

Remember the posters who used to say "if you don't donate, you have no right to complain"? To them I say "if you donate, you have no right to complain". Since that's exactly what the school wants; fans who are willing to accept a crap product, and still throw money at the school.

 

[Larry Wright]

No to Pitino. Wouldn’t want him in my home recruiting my kid.

I mean if you have a daughter I would understand but he can recruit my son anytime

I live in Florida and haven't bought season tickets since covid. I'm just stupid enough to watch this crap on TV.

 

[gregbodkin]

Damn! I was going to volunteer!

...and less than 50% from the line!

I live in Florida as well but I won’t watch tge games if Anderson YS retained and won’t attend attend the Charleston Classic which I was looking forward to.

 

[MarkRedman]

The only Garden we should play at next year is The Garden Bakery in Glen Oaks
We make enough turnovers to fill up the place

 

[SJU14]

Would the improved ticket sales with Pitino make up for much of the $8 million buyout compared to empty seats with CMA?

 

[ohiofan]

Once you get in, they never let you out.
