St John’s fires Mike Anderson

[Boston Vol]

The Anderson hire never made much sense. He m didn’t do a very good job at Arkansas and had zero east coast connections. Rick Pitino come on down.

Wow.
Georgetown and St Johns firing their BB coaches in the same year. The 80s are long gone I guess.

Throw in Syracuse, too.

AI and Metta Sandiford Artest come on down .

As we say in NY, Mike Anderson…now go get your shine box. Anderson was a better coach than a person! He fired a full time coach who needed follow up cardiac heart surgery and got sued and had to settle out of court, then fired a national admired strength coach for no reason or cause, then fired his hoops admin without reason or cause.

Pitino to St. John’s makes total sense. Georgetown is on the edge of irrelevance so they better make a home run hire. I doubt Kelvin Sampson goes anywhere else this late in his career so I’d approach Shaka Smart to see how happy he is at Marquette.

He instantly turned Marquette around and is originally from/grew up in the area, so probably quite happy. I doubt he does anywhere. G'town does need a home run hire though.

Big East Mondays in the early 80s were the best. Walter Berry FTW.

I’m gonna say Mutombo.

He was decent at Arkansas. Finished around the top 4 in the SEC more often than not. Just could never really get over the hump and didn't do well in the tournament.

Agree that going to St. Johns seemed like a weird culture fit from the beginning.

And Missouri. Never understood why he couldn't succeed at Arkansas. That's an easier job than Missouri.

 

[Chattanooga Yankee]

Because he would not change to todays style and pace of play in college hoops. Tried to do the same as he did at Ark.

The Fairleigh Dickinson head coach could be getting better coaching opportunities at some point.

Pitino will get it turned around quickly

He had a good career in Division 2 before Farleigh Dickinson. I don't see him being there too long.

St. John just won the off season coaching carousel spin with this hire.

 

[Boston Vol]

Pitino will get it turned around quickly

Year 1: probably not very good
Year 2: NIT/borderline NCAA team
Year 3: watch out

 

[UTFanHades]

Rick Pitino is walking through that door

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Pitino is one of the best, if not the best X’s & O’s coach out there.

Good hire.

 

[SpookyAction]

Deal Lord,
Please help me remember Rick Pitino's hollow lypo'd cheeks, disfigured jawline, razor sharp cheekbones, and overwound facial skin, if I ever consider a facelift when I look old in the mirror. Let me grow old with some self-respect and not looking like I am a walking table-flip from the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
