St. John's athletic director Mike Cragg confirmed on Saturday that the university is not looking to replace head coach Chris Mullin.
"Let me be clear and I said from the start, Coach Mullin is our head coach and we are not looking for another head coach," Cragg said in a statement, per Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
Cragg released the statement after it was reported earlier this week that tension was building between the athletic director and Mullin, creating speculation over a potential buyout.
According to Forbes, Mullin is "having trouble filling the assistant coach vacancy" after Matt Abdelmassih left recently.
