Add UMBC’s Ryan Odom to the list of coaches who have spurned St. John’s.
Odom joins a growing list that includes Arizona State’s Bobby Hurley and Loyola Chicago’s Porter Moser.
St. John’s asked for permission to speak with Odom, sources said, but UMBC AD Tim Hall Tweeted Wednesday that Odom would be staying at his current school.
“Just spoke with and I can absolutely dispel any rumors about him being involved in the St. John’s head coach search,” Hall Tweeted. “He is looking forward to seeing you all for the 2019-20 season.
Sources said UMBC had already been talking with Odom about another extension following the one he got last year.
