Episode 85: Fran Fraschilla
Show Notes

St. John's has had some very interesting coaches patrolling the sidelines in Jamaica, Queens. One of those head coaches was Fran Fraschilla, now with ESPN as an analyst and broadcaster, Fraschilla was 37 when he got the St. John's job. He was a master recruiter and took SJU to the tournament for the first time in 5 years when he got there. While it didn't last long, Fraschilla was the coach that put together the elite eight team the year after he left, he had the fan base thinking he was the next Carnesecca.

We go through his days as coach, the good and the bad, we discuss St. John's after his time, and how they are on the upswing now. What Rick Pitino means, their relationship and how important it is for St. John's to be successful not only for the Big East but college basketball as a whole.
