NEW YORK — After a meandering search, St. John’s finally settled on Mike Anderson as its new basketball coach. “I’ve been dreaming about this moment for the last nine days,” St. John’s athletic director Mike Cragg said during a news conference at Madison Square Garden. In the wake of Mullin’s departure, St. John’s drew criticism for being unable to lure initial coaching candidates during a protracted hiring process. And according to reports, St. John’s spoke to Yale coach James Jones and former Georgia Tech and George Mason coach Paul Hewitt about the job as well. “I would say nine days is a pretty thorough and efficient search,” said Cragg, who came to St. John’s from Duke last fall.
