An upset Pitino confirmed he was robbed and added that a bottle of wine was stolen as well.

Pitino's office is a floor above the basketball court at Carnesecca Arena, where St. John's plays in Jamaica, Queens, New York.

The university's athletics department released a statement on the matter: "The University shared surveillance footage with the NYPD and is assisting in the ongoing investigation."

The 71-year-old Pitino is a two-time NCAA national champion who has also led his teams to seven Final Fours.

His collegiate career includes stops as head coach at Boston University, Providence, Kentucky, Louisville, Iona and St. John's. Pitino also coached the New York Knicks (1987-1989) and Boston Celtics (1997-2001) as well.

St. John's won 20 games in Pitino's first season and declined an NIT bid after an NCAA tournament snub.

Pitino is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
