Ten St. John's greats honored with banners
in Carnesecca Arena.
On a night that was meant to honor their prestigious
achievements, the common theme in the highly anticipated St. John's
Legacy Honors night was the exact opposite. Each individual
recipient honored his teammates, honored his coaches and honored
the University and what it has meant in his life. Like all great
players and great people, the honorees acknowledged that they did
not reach this point in their lives without their coaches and their
teammates. And that is what has made them Legacies in Queens and in
the game of basketball.
Athletics Director Chris Monasch and University President, Rev. Donald J.
Harrington, C.M., got the night started by thanking the 10
honorees for what they've done for the University. Their hard work
spanned over half a century, from Joe Lapchick and Dick McGuire in the
1920's, 30's and 40's to Walter Berry, Mark Jackson and Chris Mullin in the
mid-1980's.
