Coach
Chris Mullin is entering into his third season as head coach of the Red Storm. So far, in two seasons on the bench, Mullin is sitting on a mark of 22-43. But at the same time, he has overseen slow but steady progress in rebuilding up St. John’s. Last season, in a lot of ways, was a success for the Johnnies and Mullin. They improved by six wins in Big East play following a rough 2015-16 season in which they only won once in against their peers.
