A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. @fordhamlaw '20 Basketball lifer. My views are my own.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

My thread: as somebody who worked on staff with @saintpetersuniv Men’s Basketball for two years, precisely how INSANE and impressive it is that the @PeacocksMBB are in the @MarchMadnessMBB Sweet 16. Alums, staffers - feel free to jump in.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

You can tell Jose Alvarado been in some tough outdoor NYC Park and AAU post-games when his first instinct was to spend the first minute after the horn telling the team to go back to the locker room.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

How is that Dylan Harper stop in the paint at 1:00 to go not a TRAVEL?

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

But when the refs do this poorly of a job it allows the home team to hang around long enough…this crew should be SENT HOME from San Antonio!

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

This is incredible basketball from the Knicks — just a great watch. They’re not getting any calls and it hasn’t even mattered. I’m really impressed.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Sad, sad take. #sjubb

[Robert Gunther @RobertGunther3]

I’m proud to announce that I am all in for the Spurs and St. John’s own @JulianChampagn2. Fuck the Nova Knicks and fuck James Dolan. Go Julian!!

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

They’re too busy enjoying the attention and fielding calls (easier) to work. I’d love for a study to be done on Skill Development loss for hoops (diff. Sport) because of time spent March - June figuring out next destination and not being with a team on campus.

[Brandon Tierney @BrandonTierney]

I'm seeing a ton of vids from college baseball players letting everyone know they are entering the portal. Wasn't around when I was playing, but if it was, pretty sure no one would be knocking down my door.

If you're hitting .214 with an OPS in the high 5's, start grinding. Get better. Lift. Close up a weakness. Strengthen a strength. Kill it in summer ball.

If not, it doesn't matter where you land. You'll be back in the portal this time next year.

WORK.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

I really don’t blame him. I remember when he was fired the Program was described as a “mess” but all the dude did was recruit tough players, Flex Offense the ACC to death and win.

[gary washburn @GwashburnGlobe]

Al Skinner led BC basketball to unprecedented success in the 2000s but was abruptly fired. He wants no part of the school’s Hall of Fame until
he receives an explanation of his removal. https://t.co/shnEXPTpOw via @BostonGlobe

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

St. John’s Fans remember him as the man who ended the ‘99 Dream with Scoonie Penn. #sjubb

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Lot of new followers lately, so hey. I'm Michael Redd.

Some of you know me from a Final Four run at Ohio State almost 30(!) years ago, some from my stint with the Milwaukee Bucks (and Phoenix Suns), and some from my place on the 2008 Redeem Team. That said, many of you likely have no idea who I am, and that's cool too!

Since I retired from the NBA, I've been building. Ventures, investments, startups. Trying to find the next good idea and the people brave (crazy?) enough to build it. I've also been hanging with my family, been active in select charities and foundations, and been getting good (humbly, ha!) at golf.

Recently, I've been sharing sports takes on here and other platforms.

NBA, WNBA, college, some NFL and MLB. The welcome's been warmer than I expected and the internet clearly has a lot of hoops takes...and knowledge. Having a blast with it at the moment, honestly.

There's no real end goal or play in joining social after all these years. No agenda or item to sell. Ideally, I really just want to share what I know, tell some old stories, show love for the players out here doing it now and the OGs who did it before, and just talk ball with good people.

Glad you're here.

And if you made it through all of that writing and stream of thoughts, I think you might like it here, ha.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Look ahead to @frankingeneral in the Media Room. #sjubb

BREAKING:

As part of an attempt to grow the Daly Dose of Hoops staff and lighten my travel schedule, I’m looking for a beat writer to handle primary coverage of St. John’s next year.

If interested, please e-mail at [email protected] with writing samples if you have any.

[Mike Francesa @MikeFrancesa]

Congrats to Boomer Esiason on being named to the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Great honor. Well deserved!

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Another @JayBilas pander to players session. In no other Multi-Billion Dollar Sport (Schools don’t make Billions individually, FWIW) are players term-limited by rule and turned over as College Basketball. False equivalency sir!

[Front Office Sports News @FOS_News_]

ESPN college basketball analyst @JayBilas tells FOS that college athletes "still don't get their value" when it pertains to NIL.

"In no multi-billion dollar sport do the coaches make more than the players."

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

The pundits, handlers and fans that have pandered to players who leave St. John’s and Rick Pitino for a better short-term (The “Wish them well!” Player empowerment crowd) should read this article.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

@NYPost_Brazille @ryancassidycbb Zach is 100% Correct here. RJ will also be ineligible under current rules. The best path would have been to stay committed to the Player Development Program at St. John’s and get to a Final 4 (Would have been 1st Round Pick) but that bridge got burned.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Summary:
1. Jeter’s face when skirmish starts.
2. Strawberry (with Colon Cancer) throwing haymakers.
3. The distance Strawberry had to travel and guile required after the initial engagement to throw the punch on dugout stuffs.
4. Brosius committing to some involvement and after seas realizing that he was toe-to-toe with Benitez. Only option at that point is to dive into his waist because he wasn’t about to box him.

28 years ago today: the craziest brawl in baseball history.

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

@primetimeMitch So then why does he continue to roll Arike out there?

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Maddy Siegrist had 17 Points and 8 Boards in 16 Minutes (+9). Put Arike on the bench!

[Landon Thomas @sixfivelando]

Jose Fernandez said he told the team there’s selfishness in the locker room. Fernandez told them to not get upset about minutes played and lack of shots.

“Really good teams don’t give a shit about that. You know what they give a shit about? They give a shit about winning.”

[Ryan Patrick, Esq. @CoachRPDubs]

Also, @BomberSports alumnus where he was Student Manager on Staff where @nvsmith (@SienaMBB) served as an Assistant Coach.

[FDU Knights @FDUKnights]

I don’t agree with Wright Thompson on a lot of topics but he’s the best modern pop culture long form in the country (and I’m not sure it’s close).

[SkinsHoops86 @SkinsHoops86]

The legend Wright Thompson with a very indepth story about Steve Kerr. Wow. There are levels. Fantastic prose.
