Former St. John's men's basketball coach Mike Anderson is seeking nearly $46 million from the school, alleging he was fired for 'fictitious' reasons so the program could avoid paying his buyout and hire Rick Pitino.

Anderson is seeking the $11.4 million that was remaining on his contract and $34.2 million in punitive damages, according to arbitration documents obtained by ESPN on Thursday.

St. John's fired Anderson on March 10 after an 18-15 season. Ten days later, the school lured Pitino away from Iona with a reported six-year, $20 million contract.
