St. John’s and Rick Pitino are in talks for a restructured contract that may guarantee he finishes his legendary teaching profession in Queens, according to a number of sources.
A lucrative contract offer, which might make him the second-highest-paid coach in the Big East after Connecticut’s Dan Hurley, has been prolonged. An settlement has yet to be reached, although there’s optimism on both sides a deal will get achieved — probably even this week.
Pitino has publicly said in the past week that St. John’s shall be his last job. It’s either remaining in Queens or retiring, and all indications are that he doesn’t plan to grasp it up just yet. According to a source, St. John’s has told Pitino it needs him to attain 1,000 profession wins at the Big East faculty. Pitino reached 900 with a win over Xavier on Jan. 24.
Billionaire booster Mike Repole told The Post: “I am extremely confident Rick Pitino will win his 1,000th game as St. John’s coach.”
