"By the way, Kim's a young coach. He's a very good coach. He communicates well with his team...What happened to them is they lost so many close games in the beginning that it went the other way for them, and unfortunately, that happens. He's gonna have a long career. He's a very good basketball coach."
"He gets his team to play hard, they like him a lot. So I wish nothing but the best regardless of how it turns out. Everyone in this league is a very good coach, but he's a very good basketball coach."
St. John's Red Storm defeated Providence Friars 85-72 in a Big East Tournament rematch, intensifying uncertainty about Providence head coach Kim English's future. The game followed a previous encounter between the teams that resulted in a brawl with multiple ejections and suspensions. After the victory, St. John's coach Rick Pitino, who previously coached Providence, declined to comment on the Providence job opening but praised English as a young, capable coach who communicates well with his team. Pitino attributed Providence's struggles to early-season close losses that affected team momentum. Reports indicate Providence informed English he would be fired after the season concludes.
