inside st. john's There’s one St. John’s job that would be ‘appealing’ for Metta World Peace By Zach Braziller Published March 13, 2026, 10:30 a.m. ET Metta World Peace is honored as a Big East Legend during the St. John's-Providence game at Madison Square Garden on March 12, 2026. Charles Wenzelberg/NY Post Coach Metta has a nice ring to it.
It sounds like Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) may have found a calling. He is enjoying life as a Division II women’s basketball assistant coach at Cal State LA.
“I don’t follow the NBA. I don’t follow the WNBA. I don’t follow Division I basketball because I’m immersed in what I’m doing. I love coaching. Coaching is fun,” World Peace told Sports+ from Madison Square Garden during the Big East Tournament on Thursday. “It’s a whole different adrenaline rush. Coaching is extremely important [to me].”
The former St. John’s star and NBA champion was in town as part of the Big East’s legend recognition program.
