After St. John’s missed out on the NCAA tournament, coach Rick Pitino didn’t hesitate to voice his displeasure with the selection committee and the weight it places on analytics.
Pitino questioned what more the Red Storm could’ve done to get in the tournament given their difficult strength of schedule, and also expressed dismay that Seton Hall, who won 13 games in the Big East, was not included among the field of 68.
On Tuesday, Pitino offered a suggestion that he believes would help enhance the quality of the selection committee. The 71-year-old took to social media to propose that a trio of legendary college basketball coaches join the ranks of the selection committee in order to offer a fresh perspective.
