ESPN-
Hall of Fame college basketball coach Lou Carnesecca, who won more than 500 games and led St. John's to three Big East titles and a 1985 Final Four appearance, died Saturday at the age of 99.
The school announced the news with a statement Saturday night, saying Carnesecca was surrounded by family when he died.
Replacing another Hall of Famer, longtime St. John's coach Joe Lapchick, Carnesecca took over the program in 1965 and brought the school to national prominence over two stints.
