Seattle Adult Entertainment: St. John’s hoping for NIT run
Burrell and swingman Paris Horne said with conviction that they thought St. John’s would be a very dangerous team next season. But barring a miraculous run to the NIT title, a new coach will lead it.
“I’m not angry or frustrated by the talk about Coach,” said Burrell. “I find it intriguing. The business of college basketball is intriguing. You have guys coaching at one school who have been at two other schools.
“The only reason they’re thinking about expanding is so they’ll have more games and can get more television money,” he added. “It’s like there’s no integrity left in the sport.”
There was no integrity when Roberts took over at St. John’s. Players were in bars the night of losses, soliciting prostitutes for sex. The NCAA found violations that included under-the-table cash payments to former center Abe Keita.
