St. John’s is reportedly on the verge of hiring former Arkansas basketball coach Mike Anderson to the vacant spot at St. John’s.
Anderson, 59, was let go from Arkansas, where winning 55% of his games and not making it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament were deal-breakers.
But... St. John’s?
St. John’s has wanted regional or city ties for years, running with the idea heard often from local high school level hoops coaches — that someone needs to know the city, know its gyms, know its politics, to be successful.
