Van Macon, assistant coach for St. John's basketball since 2019, will leave the program to explore professional opportunities. He was the only staff member retained after Mike Anderson's firing in 2023 and served as an associate head coach for two seasons. A notable recruiter, he was instrumental in attracting talent like Posh Alexander and Julian Champagnie. Following a health issue, he returned just in time for a successful season, leading St. John's to Big East championships. Rick Pitino confirmed that no other coaching changes are anticipated, praising his assembled coaching staff.
We greatly appreciate Van Macon's contributions to St. John's Basketball and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
I put together a great, great [coaching] staff. That's been the key to my whole career... I've hired great people, fabulous people.
