Iona head coach Tim Cluess withdrew his name from consideration for the head coaching vacancy at St. John's.
Cluess is the second coach to turn down the opportunity to replace Chris Mullin. Loyola-Chicago head coach Porter Moser declined to take the job earlier this week.
Mullin and the school parted ways last week after four seasons at the school, with two NCAA tournament berths with the Red Storm.
“I am taking my name out of consideration for the St. John’s job. When I was unexpectedly contacted by them last week it opened up a flood of emotions," Cluess said.
