Rick Pitino - Head Coach at St John’s University!!!

[Ray Morgan]

Confusing time to be a ST John’s fan
Wouldn’t even say I am happy, doesn’t seem real.

I feel a little bit like Nicholas Cage at the end of National Treasure. After years of crushed hopes and dreams, after years of failed searches for the one home run hire, the answer turned out to be in Father Shanley's pocket. Could it really be that simple?

Gotta love watching Bruce Beck when he’s calling it a mega press conference.

My complaints about the lack of air conditioning in Carnesseca Arena have officially ended. By the time Pitino retires I'll be at least 59 and probably beginning blood thinners so a 24 year era on here has ended

What about back pain complaints?

Hmmmm let me think about that one

Winning makes pain bearable. We now have lots of hope that we will field a winning team.

One of my biz partners lives in Wantagh. It's like 20 minute drive and would be on the way back home for you.

Will probably start it at 4:30pm although after this news today I have a feeling there will be guys here showing up at noon when it opens

I lived in West Islip for a while so I know my way around Long Island. I will definitely try to make it. Thanks Mike!

Of course, I am out to lunch when I get the Alert. Beyond thrilled yet no one I am with cares. (Mother in law, wife, brother in law) I am ready to burst. 30 years of torture and incompetence coming to an end. A Coach who we can just let Coach because I have absolute faith in him. Thank God.

That’s because Bilas is trying to put in a good word to get Coach K. hired as an assistant.

The days of hoping for a top half of the conference finish are officially over. Can’t wait for my kids to experience what I experienced in the 80’s when the whole city is rocking for SJU bball!

As a die hard fan of this program , and a very proud Alum , I have always wanted to feel what many you got to feel in the 70s , 80s , and 90s . The feeling of winning , the feeling of seeing the garden in a sea of red with everyone going crazy . I feel that more than ever I will get to taste what most of you felt .
Thank you father Shanley !! Let’s go Johnnies !!!!!!!

It’ll be interesting to see how the NILs pan out. It’s like that had Rick Pitino in mind when they started it.

You don’t need to spend $100m on facilities…you can leverage being in NYC to your advantage. Massive.

Before I forget - great job by the search firm!

Only took them 31 years to get it right!

I just shed some tears down here in Houston, too bad I won't be there to see the games live.

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
