"Then came the off-the-court distractions. Sophomore guard Georgetown. One of Willard's first high-profile recruits from within the New Jersey borders, Sina's defection was the sign of issues larger than losses. Making matters even more complicated, was a blog post from a local reporter claiming Sina quit the team because of race-related taunts directed at the point guard.
Seton Hall, as well as Sina's father, a local high school basketball coach, refuted those claims.
Whitehead, a top-25 recruit brought in as part of a nationally-ranked class this season, then clashed with the team's leading scorer, Sterling Gibbs during that Georgetown loss. The two players got into a shouting match during a timeout, with associate head coach Shaheen Holloway needing to separate the two.............
Three seniors will depart, but the feeling is that the status of Gibbs' future is very much up in the air. Gibbs will be eligible to be a graduate senior next season, meaning that he can transfer to another school and be able to play immediately. However, the question is whether or not Seton Hall wants him to return. Privately, those around the program have grown weary of complaints from the Gibbs family about the role of their son within the Pirate program.
The coaching staff has continued to sing his praises, but wonder if the headache is worth the price of setting back the development of a young team. There is fear though, given the Seton Hall ties that Gibbs has-he played for nearby Seton Hall Prep in high school-that any attempt to begin next season without him, would be met with blowback. Support for Willard is waning among the fanbase, though not with athletic director Pat Lyons, an ardent supporter of the head coach. Alumni feel that given the talent Willard has had in his five years in South Orange, he should have more to his name than one NIT appearance."
Come home Sterling! You can shoot all you want, no other guard can. If you can't defend, so what, we don't do that anymore anyway!
Since Willard is likely gone maybe we can bring in his top assistant and recruitinator, Fred Hill (former Rutgers head coach who got a lot of talent but couldn't coach).

Bobby Gonzalez/Kevin Willard...
Wow. Have either of those guys made the ncaa's at SHU? They fired Louie Orr, who was a decent coach, made some tournaments, and now they have this mess.
It's an annual contest to see which NJ program is more of a dumpster fire. Even though Hall won more games, and even though Eddie Jordan is also a lousy coach, I think RU is in better shape moving forward
