St. John's Basketball Coach Lou Carnesecca Dies at 99
Lou Carnesecca, the legendary St. John's basketball coach, passed away on Saturday at the age of 99, just weeks shy of his 100th birthday. A Hall of Fame inductee in 1992, Carnesecca coached the Red Storm for 24 seasons, leading them to 18 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a memorable Final Four run in 1985. Known for his vibrant personality and distinctive sweaters, he achieved a remarkable 526-200 record, with a career winning percentage of .725, making him one of the top coaches in Division I history. His coaching accolades include two National Coach of the Year awards and three BIG EAST Coach of the Year honors. St. John's honored him by renaming its arena and unveiling a statue in his likeness, reflecting his deep connection to the university and the New York basketball community. Carnesecca is survived by his wife of 73 years, Mary, and his family, who were by his side during his final moments.
