Mike Anderson is seeking nearly $46 million from St. John's, claiming he was fired with cause only so the school could avoid paying his buyout and instead hire Rick Pitino.
Mike Anderson Suit
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
I said this last Spring when they fired him "for cause."
That it was a bit of a ploy by SJU to get a negotiated settlement where they would not have to pay the full buyout.
My guess is that is exactly what happened. SJU saved some $$$ and Mike Anderson may not have gotten his full buyout but got a nice chunk of change.

Glad to hear. Always good when a dispute like this is resolved by mutual agreement.
Fr Stanley to his lawyers after seeing their latest invoice: "Um, what's this extra hour for 'public relations?'"
Lawyers: "Oh that was for the press release we drafted."
Stanley: "It was two sentences!"
Lawyers: "Those were two expertly crafted sentences!"

If so, not a bad haul. I wonder if Mike still wants to coach. I'm sure he could get a job at a decent mid-major somewhere in the south where he might still have some recruiting connections. He did a pretty good job of getting some quality under the radar guys at St. John's who developed nicely. He just didn't have enough of them to make an impact in the Big East.
IMO playing styles in high level college basketball passed CMA by as evidenced by the fact that his offensive style never really embraced the 3 point shot.
CMA’ “40 Minutes of Hell” seemingly was built on the simple principal of out hustling the other team but never seemed to advance with changing styles.
I always questioned whether his nephew TJ Cleveland as an assistant coach was an empty suit, but I was recently told by someone in a position to know that TJ and CMA differed in the Johnnie’s’ offense and that had TJ been listened to the there would have been more 3 point shooters/ shooting.
CMA’s failure to modify his team’s play style with the passage of times is analogous to SU’s Boeheim’s continued use of the 2- 3 zone which was more effective decades prior to his retirement when players were less efficient shooting the 3.

Now that this is settled - let's get back to topic and post your favorite Mike Anderson Suit
I was never a fan of him recycling his Arkansas red suit.
