The Holy Land of Hoops

Short Q&A with Chris Mullin:

"It's a whole different profession. I've been thinking about coaching for years and was always looking for the right people and the right time. This came at the right time and the people at St. John's were great about working together and trying to make this thing a total success. So as far as the legacy thing, this is the first time I'm coaching. I'm starting a new career and if it doesn't go well I don't think they'll take me out of the Hall of Fame as a player (laughs)."

"I want to win. That's what it really comes down to. We want to recruit players, get good kids and make sure that they're set beyond their careers. But for the time that they're with us in season we're trying to win each and every game. That comes with preparation, discipline, work ethic, playing unselfishly and playing for your teammates. All the things that good teams do no matter what level you're on -- that's what we want to do."

I love this hire.

I hope we are all hating St. John's in a relatively short period of time! I hope he's successful.
