I hope St. John's doesn't fire coaches like George Steinbrenner fired managers. Lavin can recruit and that's his biggest strength. Just be patient. Jim Calhoun didn't build the UCONN program overnight.

The school president was a corrupt authoritarian who surrounded himself with incompetent sycophants and nitwits, and the current situation is the result. The only good news is news that the front runner to head the school is a lay person, who attended Holy Cross and Harvard, and is the current dean of the law school. It is not a coincidence that the other Vincentian school in the conference is De Paul.

Masiello will get fired from Manhattan for the resume fiasco.
St John's should let Lavin coach out his contract and then hire Masiello...by that time, people will have forgiven/forgotten about the resume incident (like how George O'Leary lied on his resume to ND and then a few years later went to UCF)
Masiello can recruit NYC. look at Manhattan's roster. almost all of the players are from one of the boroughs.
