OT: Chris Mullin out as Head Coach of St. Johns

[tcf15]

What we know about St. John’s: Mullin goes dark, bankroller found
— Vitamin Water founder Mike Repole will be a “financial resource,” sources said, in the next step in the process, a significant development considering how much money it would take to land Hurley, who made $2.4 million last year, according to USA Today.

If I were them I'd look at Becker then Cluess. Mark Jackson would be like hiring Chris Mullin again.

Both have obviously had much success at a much lower level. I could argue Cluess has produced more, but even if they're comparable given the Cluess's family's ties to St. Johns I can't see why they wouldn't go that way if they went for a mid-major.

As for the comparison between Mark Jackson and Chris Mullin (not yours), seriously? Even leaving Mullin's personal issues out of it, Mullin helped coach a lousy NBA franchise into the level of improvement Jackson did?

Why would Bob leave ASU? Anxious to come back to the North East?

There's no way St. John's is a better gig in this age than ASU. St. John's is an after thought

I just wouldn't want someone who has no experience coaching or recruiting in college if I were them.

Fair enough. But having been a winning NBA coach is certainly a resume enhancer over someone who has neither been a college coach or a winning NBA coach.

Granted that Mullin struggled winning games, given the number of decommits, how is this an upgrade for St John's? Seems like a setback in terms of keeping players.

The same reason having kids decommit when we hired Hurley was worth it. Can't make decisions with a short-sighted view

Hmmm....

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Hurley's agent deserves a fat bonus if he somehow leverages St. Johns into more money from ASU.

 

[gtcam]

I don’t see St Johns forcing Mullins out and not getting a big name like Bobby Hurley.

Bobby Hurley is a big name?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Hmmm....

I think Dort was declaring regardless

 

[gampelcrazies]

Bobby Hurley is a big name?

I think so. Maybe not the biggest name around but still a solid coach.
