Just about a year ago St. John’s was in a very peculiar sport.
The school and legend Chris Mullin had parted ways after four seasons in which the final year resulted in the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2015.
Novice Athletic Director Mike Cragg was then thrusted into a coaching search, one that he has since claimed was way too public for his liking.
There were cries from many sections in the fanbase for a host of coaches, one of that included former Louisville head coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Pitino.
