When Ian Jackson committed to St. John\u2019s in the spring, at the top of his list of reasons for choosing his hometown school was the idea that he would get pushed.<\/p>\n
That Rick Pitino would demand the most out of him and teach him aspects of the sport that were missing from his game. He understood that would come with some tough love, something he has experienced plenty of already.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing for him is good enough, and for me that\u2019s OK,\u201d Jackson said with a laugh on Wednesday after St. John\u2019s held an open scrimmage for the media at the Garden. \u201cI have no problem with looking forward and having a mindset to the next thing, and not just dwelling on success. \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cCoach P is a different guy, in terms of his details, in terms of his approach, in terms of his work. He\u2019s just different. It\u2019s something I needed. I\u2019m growing from it and I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Ian Jackson committed to St. John\u2019s in the spring, at the top of his list of reasons…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":287982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[1339,30695,2076,1317,1337,1338,30692,62,2225,1378,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-287981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-big-east","10":"tag-college-basketball","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-basketball","13":"tag-ncaabasketball","14":"tag-rick-pitino","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-sports-plus","17":"tag-st-johns-red-storm","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115341628850480431","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
