Well, quite a bit has perspired since St. John’s led Texas at the half, in the consolation game at Madison Square Garden about a month ago.
Since that loss the teams progress has been much like a roller coaster ride, when a bad loss to Illinois State at home made fans want to vomit, and back around to the point where you feel much safer then you had a minute ago, after the Johnnies beat up on Niagara in their most recent contest held on December 9th.
In this stretch the Red Storm have mostly struggled, to the point where “Fire Norm” is a frequent phrase on message boards, and their have certainly been times when you cant help but feel that kicking Norm on the cold streets of Jamaica, Queens would be the best thing for the men’s basketball program. But that is a mood point, at least, for the time being, as the administration will absolutely not fire Norm during this season. For the time being, the team needs to salvage this season after getting off to a 6-3 start, when a 8-1 start was certainly in reach.
St. John’s needs to continue to improve off of every single effort, to be ready in time, for Big East Competition starting in the New Year. For now they have a couple games this week, versus some easy competition, at the Lou (Carnesecca Arena) that will have huge implications to how this team looks going into conference play, where post season bids are awarded.
Sorry about the long layoff, but certainly more posts to come in the next few months.

Maybe you are thinking about finding a way to play basketball internationally in Europe or Asia where the competition is less. In fact, basketball has become an international phenomenon and lots of countries are starting to pick up on this American sport. This results in many international basketball players to get drafted to the NBA such as Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming or Paul Gasol. So instead of competing with these great players, you have a better chance playing basketball internationally in France, Spain, Germany or even China.
The best way to get signed by these teams and play basketball internationally is by promoting yourself. Think of it as a job and you need to have a great resume to get hired. My old college friend, Shawn, who recently got signed to play basketball in Germany, is making couple hundred thousand dollars a year. Before he got signed with the team, he asked his friends and family members to take videos of him playing basketball in real games. He then uploaded those videos on YouTube and try to let people see how good he is and increase the opportunities for getting signed.
