"We're thrilled that Coach Pitino has signed a new agreement to remain at St. John's, a deal that will keep him in Queens through the end of the decade. This extension reflects our strong confidence in his leadership, vision, and commitment to our student-athletes."
"Before Pitino took over, St. John's consistently hovered near the bottom of the Big East. In just three years, he's turned the program around - guiding the team to the NCAA Tournament twice, securing back-to-back regular season and conference tournament titles."
Rick Pitino's third season with St. John's ended with an 80-75 loss to Duke in the Sweet 16. He signed a restructured contract, making him the second-highest paid coach in the Big East. The new deal extends his contract through the end of the decade. Athletic director Ed Kull expressed confidence in Pitino's leadership and vision. Under Pitino, St. John's improved significantly, reaching the NCAA Tournament twice and winning back-to-back titles. The team will face roster changes but aims for continued success.
