Rick Pitino was officially introduced as the new head coach at St. John’s earlier today.
Pitino talked about his vision for the program, stated that a lot of the current players probably won’t be returning and much more during his introductory press conference.
After the press conference, Pitino appeared on ESPN for an interview. He pointed out that he has taken three different schools to the Final Four and John Calipari is the only other coach that has done that. Pitino then joked that he wants to take the Red Storm to the Final Four so he can get Calipari off his resume.
“A lot of these players probably won’t be back on this team because they’re probably not a good fit for me”
