Rob Parker: "I'm officially renaming St. John's University to SHAME JOHN'S University! Really, Rick Pitino?! I get it, he can coach basketball, but you're turning your head from all that Rick Pitino has done! He has so much baggage, Spirit Airlines would charge him $5,000 to check the bags! Everywhere he went, there was scandal! And here is the other part - Iona bent over backwards for him and Pitino promised that he wasn't going anywhere, he just wants to coach again. As soon as things got good for him, he's out of there and leaving Iona in the lurch to get back to a big time program. Shame on Iona for allowing this guy to use them! Shame on St. John's for going this route!"
Chris Broussard and Rob Parker rip St. John's for hiring controversial head coach Rick Pitino. The guys explain why they believe Pitino was undeserving of getting another opportunity to coach in a major conference, given the multiple scandals he has been involved in throughout his career.
