Steve Levin and St. Johns part ways

[Kitaman]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think St. John's will go through another coaching search in 5 years if they hire Mullin?

@GoodmanESPN: The early word is that St. John's will make a run at Chris Mullin, sources told ESPN.

I've always said that Mark Jackson should be their coach. Not sure why that has never happened or been pursued.

If I see a list where UNLV gets their foot in the door and we don't, I'm setting some of you on fire.

Dibs not!

Who knows if it'll actually happen, but if Calipari does actually dash to the NBA after this season, it'd be interesting if Isaiah Briscoe reopened his recruitment considering that his final three was Kentucky, St. John's, and us.

Hope UConn was one of them

@jeffborzello: Brandon Sampson's high school coach told ESPN that at least 10 schools have already reached out regarding Sampson.

That's three more schools than originally offered him. Four if you eliminate SJU.

I think our gameplan should be identifying those recruits where UConn was clearly the 2nd or 3rd choice and conspire to get those coaches fired.

I don't think St. John's has any actual interest in Chris Mullen - that sort of sounds like the kind of thing here where we propose a former player every time a position opens.

What they need is an adult - a Larranag/Beilein-type who knows how to build and run a program.

But that's not their way - they're hire something shiny and be looking again in four years.

The idea of bringing in a guy who has never coached, and who played so long ago, that today's high school kids don't even remember him in the NBA, would strictly be a move to make 50 year old alums happy. Would make as much sense as DePaul hiring Mark Aguirre.

 

[CallMeBruce]

I think Mark Jackson would be a reasonable choice, but he's coached (and won) NBA playoff games.

 

[Scoe]

St. Johns should hire Ron Artest.

Mark Jackson does not get along with St. Johns

“@MettaWorldPeace: I would absolutely coach at St.Johns if presented with that opportunity.
Go St.Johns”

Hurley, according to a source close with knowledge of his thinking, is "very intrigued" by the St. John's job but is not ready to jump at any offer. Rhode Island went 23-10 this season and has every impact returning, so there's a good chance that he would be leaving an NCAA Tournament team if he decided to take the job.

We should try to get his wife as an assistant coach. Wouldn't mind seeing her on our staff.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Could they go after Hurley or is his Buffalo deal done?

Isn't going from buffalo to St Johns a dowgrade

Isn't going from buffalo to St Johns a dowgrade

Wrong Hurley. They are talking to Dan, not Bobby

 

[James]

OK so artest needs to coach at st johns and the team shoe should be his panda signature line. actually i'm not sure that would really work he is in italy playing professionally

 

[dunkinhuskies]

Done at St John's. Any recruits worth going after?

Who is Steve Levin?

 

[dunkinhuskies]

I wonder if Steve Levin knows Steven Lavin. New York City is a big place so I'm not sure.

View attachment 8897 We should try to get his wife as an assistant coach. Wouldn't mind seeing her on our staff.

She could do a lot of assisting.

I like the part about him being able to handle the ball!

Yes, but that is ball handling evaluation as a SG. We need a real PG.
