To wrap up a wild week in the realm of St. John’s basketball, the University announced Friday that they have hired Mike Anderson as head coach. The news was first reported by Jon Rothstein and then confirmed on Friday via a press release.
“Coach Anderson is one of the most respected coaches in college basketball and there is no doubt in my mind that he is the perfect fit to lead our program,” St. John’s Athletic Director Mike Cragg said in a press release.
Anderson, who was an assistant coach under Hall of Fame head coach Nolan Richardson at the University of Arkansas, was the Razorbacks head coach up until last month when he was fired.
