https://reurl.cc/6N1W8r per ESPN Fired hoops coach Mike Anderson seeks $45.6M from St. John's 被解雇的圣若望大学前教练提告前东家 求偿四千五百六十万美金 Former St. John's men's basketball coach Mike Anderson said he was fired with cause in March only so the school could avoid paying his buyout and use the money to hire Rick Pitino, per arbitration documents obtained by ESPN on Thursday. 前圣若望男篮总教练安德森认为他在三月中因故被解聘是因为圣若望大学不愿意 支付合约提前终止违约金 而用那笔钱去挖角名教练皮提诺 Anderson is seeking $45.6 million from the university -- $11.4 million that was left on his contract and an additional $34.2 million for "punitive" damages -- according to the "notice of intention to arbitrate" filed last month by Anderson's lawyer, John Singer of Singer Deutsch. 安德森将寻求四千五百六十万美金的赔偿 包含 一千一百四十万美金 在剩余的合约中 和 三千四百二十美金的损失 金额是来自於安德森的委任律师 St. John's lured Pitino from Iona after firing Anderson on March 10. 位於纽约市传统篮球名校圣若望大学今年三月十日成功高薪从艾欧那大学挖角皮提诺 According to the termination letter obtained by ESPN, Anderson was fired for "failure to create and support an environment that strongly encourages student-athletes who are in the men's basketball program to meet all university academic requirements," "failure to perform your duties and responsibilities in a manner that reflected positively on St. John's University ... in actions [that] brought serious discredit" to the school and "failure to appropriately supervise and communicate with your assistant coaches." 但根据ESPN的调查 圣若望大学解聘安德森的原因为 无法为学生运动员创造可以达到学业标准的训练环境 以及 无法正确地监督并和助理教练有效沟通 Per documents obtained by ESPN, Anderson claims St. John's officials had tried to offer him a buyout for less than the $11.4 million remaining on his deal before the school accused him of "fictitious" problems within his program and fired him for cause. 在ESPN所获得的文件中 圣若望大学曾经以低於一千一百四十万美金的 价钱和安德森谈合约买断 而这是在发生圣若望大学 以[非事实] 的理由开除他之前所发生的 In a statement issued Thursday afternoon, St. John's University said it disputed "the wildly inaccurate claims" and that it would "vigorously defend those claims in arbitration." 在周四下午 圣大发出的声明说 指控并不正确 而只是安德森的单方面的说词 On the day he was fired, Anderson claims the school had already entered advanced talks with Pitino, who was officially hired March 20. 在他被开除的那天 安德森曾经表示学校和皮提诺已经进入细节的谈约阶段 Anderson said that he never changed and that he represented the school in a "first class manner" after he signed an extension in 2021 and until the day he was dismissed in March. In the documents, Anderson said St. John's instead focused "on marshaling and amalgamating enough assets" for an offer "to the legendary and scandal-mired NBA and college basketball coach Rick Pitino to join St. John's as the new head coach." 安德森教练说从他在延长合约那天开始 至被解聘的那一天 他一直最[积极] 的心态 来代表圣若望大学 而在文件中 安德森指控圣若望大学想集中一切资源 招聘极富争议性又兼具传奇性的教练 皮提诺 Terms of the deal between Pitino and St. John's were not announced, but sources told ESPN that it was for six years and reportedly is worth $20 million. 皮提诺的合约因为圣大是私立学校不用公布 但ESPN据消息来源指出可能是 至少六年 两千万美金的合约 (六年台币约六亿 一年一亿台币) "St. John's manufactured out of whole cloth its preposterous 'for cause' termination of Mr. Anderson's employment with the sole purpose of attempting to extricate the University from its $11.4 million ironclad contractual obligation to Mr. Anderson, specifically so that it could otherwise divert those funds to Pitino," the filing by Anderson's representative says. 该付给前教练安德森的合约买断金 被用在皮提诺的合约中 In his four seasons at St. John's, Anderson had a 68-56 record and was 30-46 in the Big East. 安德森取代过去圣大的明星球员 Chris Mullins 执教四年 总成绩是 六十八胜五十六败 在大东联盟是三十胜四十六败 In the documents, Anderson, who had previously announced his intent to sue St. John's, said the school in February began making false accusations that he had been dealing with cognitive issues. During a "hostile" phone call, per Anderson's legal filing, Joseph Oliva, the general counsel for St. John's, told one of the former coach's representatives that Anderson "did not in any way resemble the coach from the prior four years" and seemed "about gone" mentally. 安德森指控说 学校以不实指控 说他心理健康问题 而这些讨论是在一些激动的电话讨论中进行 In his legal filing, Anderson also rebutted the school's claim that his team had struggled academically, citing his program's Big East academic excellence award in 2020 for the highest cumulative GPA in the conference -- the first in program history. He said his team's GPA slipped after COVID but never to a degree that would jeopardize his program's APR (academic progress rate). 他同时反驳学校的指控说学生运动的成绩非常不好 在 2020 年 圣若望篮球队的学业成绩为大东联盟的最高分 也是学校史上第一次 疫情虽然降低之後的GPA 但是并不影响整体学业进步指数 The arbitration documents filed by Anderson also accuse the school of hypocrisy by firing him for cause but hiring Pitino, who had been "enmeshed in one highly publicized, sensational scandal after another over the years." Louisville fired Pitino for cause in 2017, citing an investigation into the program allegedly hiring escorts for parties to help recruit players that resulted in the school vacating its 2013 national title and an FBI investigation surrounding former recruit Brian Bowen II. 他觉得聘用皮提诺作为新教练 让学校已[学术成绩未达标]理由开除他 显得更加伪善 皮提诺在17 年被路易维尔大学开除时 已经有第三方的报告指出他任内篮球队的的招募新生过程中有聘请不当的[人员] Note: 用奇怪理由换总教练 今天 NCAA 也一篇 但其实整篇看起来比较像是 Mike Anderson 委任律师的开场白 而且开除时机也是在球季末 加上纽约市和 New Rochelle 的地理因素 St Johns 找 Pitino 的决策对於有关注 NCAA 球迷来说应该不会太意外 纽约市作为篮球历史中的重要城市 加上大东联盟过去的荣景 圣若望大学会这样作其实蛮合理 毕竟在下季 这个联盟可是有 Sean Miller, Ed Cooley 的乔治城, Dan Hurley 卫冕冠军康州大 谁会想要在高曝光度的联盟中变成 losing team 而且除了 Pitino 过去的黑历史外 其他事情还待证 随手翻~ 有在学生或职员欢迎补充 --
