Former St. John’s superstar Chris Mullin has reached an agreement to become St. John’s new head coach, according to multiple sources. He will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday, a source said.

Mullin replaces Steve Lavin, whom the school “mutually parted ways” with Friday. Terms of the contract were not available immediately.

After Lavin was let go, the school immediately focused its attention on Mullin, a source with knowledge of the process said. Rhode Island coach Danny Hurley reportedly reached agreement Sunday on a contract extension through the 2020-21 season, removing him from consideration.

In the 51-year-old Mullin, St. John’s is hiring someone with no prior coaching experience. However, the Naismith Hall of Famer, who was a three-time Big East player of the year and a five-time NBA All-Star, spent five years as Golden State’s executive vice-president of basketball operations and most recently has been a front-office adviser for the Sacramento Kings.

Mullin’s hiring is reminiscent of what Iowa State did earlier this decade, hiring former Cyclone and NBA player Fred Hoiberg in 2010 despite his lack of head-coaching experience. Hoiberg, so popular in ISU’s location of Ames, Iowa, that he is nicknamed “The Mayor,” has guided the Cyclones to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last four seasons.

And St. John’s might draw from that blueprint, as one source said the school is interested in hiring Matt Abdelmassih, a Hoiberg assistant who is ISU’s lead recruiter. The 30-year-old Abdelmassih was a manager for St. John’s men’s basketball team and a 2007 graduate of SJU, so it would be familiar territory for him. A source said the Red Storm also might reach out to well-known recruiters Barry “Slice” Rohrssen and Emanuel “Book” Richardson, assistants at Kentucky and Arizona, respectively.

The first item on Mullin and his staff’s agenda might be to re-recruit top 50 prospect Brandon Sampson, a 6-foot-4 guard from Baton Rouge, La., who verbally committed to the Red Storm in January but re-opened his recruitment after Lavin was let go Friday.
