Former Arkansas coach Mike Anderson has been hired as the next head coach for St. John's, the school announced Friday.
"My family and I are extremely excited to join the St. John's University community," Anderson said in a statement. "This basketball program is rooted with such great tradition and it has a history built by legendary coaches, so this is a humbling experience. I look forward to mentoring the young men who will represent St. John's proudly on the court, in the classroom and in our community."
Anderson will be introduced at a 1 p.m. ET news conference Friday.
