Will Lavin Coach St. John's Next Season?

[MUBasketball]

After Lavin took St. John's to the ncaa tourament, I expected Lavin to be back. Most likely a safe move.

I think it's the opposite of a safe move. He's gone through one rebuild at St. John's and that class played in one NCAA Tournament game and lost. He hasn't won a postseason game at St John's in 5 years (except what, one NIT game and one BE Tourney game?). And they trust him for another rebuild. Cut the damn cord, I thought this was a proud program? Act like it.

Why is it frustrating? Do you have a rooting interest in St. Johns?

They are giving an extension to a guy who got them back in the tournament.

Yes I would like to see St. John's do well and make the conference even stronger. Isn't that obvious?

St. Johns did well this year. And the conference is fine.

So if Marquette didn't have an NCAA Tournament win in 15 years you'd be in favor of giving the current coach an extension?

Probably not. But I'm not a St. Johns fan so I really don't give a rip what they do. I just cant be "frustrated" because a Big East team that made the tournament decided to give their coach an extension. (Which is ultimately meaningless anyway.)

Why do we have this desire to turn SJU into some sort of powerhouse?

Haha, I give up man. You're sure chiming in a lot on the DePaul search, why do you give a rip about that?

Coaching searches are entertaining. I certainly won't be "frustrated" no matter who DePaul hires.

[MU/Panther]

Well, I'm hearing not so fast on this extension thing.

I work with an SJU alum and hearing the same thing

I'm guessing they are offering an extension, but if he puts in any demands they will tell him to pack up.
