Rick Pitino is a great coach. He's also a self-serving POS who's been cheating - as a coach since he was at Hawaii - and on his wife - since probably before he got married and otherwise he's been deflecting questions about his character flaws since forever. He's an awful human being. His recent complaining about the untoward influence of money in sports is peak Pitino. On the bright side if Rick can get through nine eleven he can get thorough my opinion of him.
I'm looking forward to SJ choking its way to a loss tonight in RI. I might even watch a bit. (I'm 7-1 since you challenged me to.) And OTOH if they win it'll give suckers like you hope moving forward. Which it seems to me I can't lose.
haha got it- a man with pathologies.
The character thing is a fair point. I get that- the marital thing is inexcusable and perhaps an intentional blind eye to his prior program issues. But I do think this school needed some type of injection of talented coaching and he is a Hall of Famer so I think he can build it back up with some time.
Well- you got your wish. They took the L (I actually also predicted this). I think they are bound for NIT, which is not the worst thing considering a team was patched together from scratch except a couple players in a short period of time. Once the Grads are out, I think the program can be built properly. Get Brady and Simeon experience of post-season in NIT. If we make a Big East Tourney run of some kind that would be the only way to NCAAs now.
