New St. John’s men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino looked to have found an unusual way to keep taps of his first game’s referees against Stony Brook on Tuesday night.
En route to a 90-74 victory, Big East reporter Ryan Cassidy shared a photo of Pitino coaching with a piece of paper taped to the scoretable with what looked to be the names and faces of the referees on it.
Y’know, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to communicate with the refs during a game for whatever reason. Pitino just found a very direct way to do accomplish that.

Pitino is still getting used to his new role at St. John’s, and he’s going to have to get acclimated for a new bunch of officials for his team’s games.
However, a piece of paper taped to a scoreboard was not on our bingo card for how Pitino would keep track of anything in the year 2023.
