An oldie, but a goodie.
SJU can do better.
Mike was basically embarrassing on that "in the huddle" game vs Sean Miller & Xavier.
He is there because they literally couldn’t do better. Nobody wanted the job. It has no upside. It isn’t 1968.SJU can do better.

Yeah. Playing in MSG, and coaching in the media capital of the country, what could you possibly gain by being successful in a place like that?He is there because they literally couldn’t do better. Nobody wanted the job. It has no upside. It isn’t 1968.
"Slowed them down" to the second highest number of possessions in any game we've played all year.I am willing to give Anderson a mulligan on that game. I think he was afraid of giving up any game plans on TV, although he did end up coming off clueless because he wouldn't say anything meaningful during the huddles.
My issue with Anderson is that his style requires precision and discipline, and I don't think he has it in him to coach that anymore. I think Hurley slowing down SJU's pace actually helped St. Johns because they have a solid starting 5 and they could run a fairly under control halfcourt offense which was pretty effective. In hindsight UConn should have sped up SJU into the chaos offense that it usually plays.

Our 21 turnovers contributed to St. Johns number of possessions."Slowed them down" to the second highest number of possessions in any game we've played all year.

They only had 10.

What makes it a "favorite?"One of my favorite things about the boneyard is low count posters showing up after losses to attack other posters rather than discuss the game.
LOL. Many many things contribute to the desire ability of a job. Facilities, overall quality of the athletic department, money. The St Johns athletic department is a mess. That’s one thing. BobbyHurley, Moser, and Cluess all turned it down. Ok maybe Hurley figured ASU had a higher upside, but the other 2 were at mid-major programs that they thought were better places than St Johns. Cluess was at Iona for heavens sake. And he thought his future was better staying in the MAAC than taking a job at St Johns. The joke going around was that the President was going to coach the team in his off days.Yeah.

No upside at all.
