Mike Cragg on Rick Pitino Being the Perfect Hire for St. John's

St. John's Director of Athletics joined the Eye on the Storm Podcast to take us behind the scenes of St. John’s, the Big East & the business side of it all.
We talk about Pitino, realignment, NIL, TV contracts, ticket sales, the hype, new jerseys, Baha Mar & more!
In this clip Mike talks about why Rick Pitino was the best and clear choice to be the new head coach for St. John's basketball. And how SJU has to capitalize on the moment.
This is a real “inside baseball” type of episode to let people know what goes into a lot of decisions, how the entire landscape of college sports has changed, just how much football dictates things, and a lot more. I hope this episode is educational and gives a peak behind the curtain on what’s going on today.

Being a 60 year fan of St. John’s Basketball, and a proud graduate over 51 years ago, I have to say that the
the Team we have for the last few years of President Father Shanley and Mike Cragg A.D. is one of the best
in the country. And it is definitely the best in many decades at St. Johns. And having Coach Rick bring his
expertise and success to SJU is what we have been looking forward to for some time. With Legendary
Coach Carnesecca still able to enjoy attending games, we all look forward to the success of this great
group of student athletes for the 23-24 season.
