Rick Pitino is fresh off his best season at St. John's. The Red Storm won both the regular season and conference tournament championships in the Big East.

Rick Pitino is off to a fast start as he looks to reload following St. John’s best season in 25 years. Four days after their season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Johnnies moved onto the offseason with a bang. The Red Storm landed a high-ceiling wing they believe will help them immediately next year.

Transfer wing Joson Sanon has committed to St. John's and coach Rick Pitino, he told ESPN. He averaged 11.9 points per game in his one season at Arizona State.

Richard Pitino, the son of St. John’s coach Rick Pitino, is expected to be hired as the next head men’s basketball coach at Xavier, according to ESPN. He and his dad will now face off at least twice a year.

Xavier is expected to hire Richard Pitino to be their newest head coach, as first reported by Jon Rothstein, guaranteeing that Richard and Rick will face each other at least twice a season. Pitino will replace outgoing head coach Sean Miller, who was hired by Texas last Sunday.
