Iona head basketball coach Rick Pitino has agreed to become the coach at St. John’s according to reports.
Pitino informed the Gaels he was leaving the program in a team meeting Monday afternoon, according to ESPN. The 70-year-old had been courted by St. John’s following the recent firing of head coach Mike Anderson.
Pitino’s deal with the Big East school seemed to be confirmed in a series of tweets posted on Monday.
