i'm not that hot about it either to tell you the truth, but the decision is made and remember st. john's isn't what it use to be bak in the hay day of the big east. there have been plenty of former players with no coaching experience when hired like wichita st. and ISU who have come home and done well. he'll just need to surround himself with the right people. this hire can't be that surprising though. every time you saw coach carnesecca this year, chris mullin was always right next to him!
