Rick Pitino - Head Coach at St John’s University!!!
- Thread starter Section9
- Start date
You know your coach is dedicated (or obsessive compulsive) when you see a tweet like this in April.
I freakin' love it!
Makes it clear how much the whole "I don't know when I can retire" is definitely real.
He also might be stressed about the task of getting this dream team to play defense to his liking.

I don't think he ever tweets anything without an ulterior motive.He also might be stressed about the task of getting this dream team to play defense to his liking.

Let’s pray he stays healthy and has the desire to be our coach for a long time. Relevance and national attention feel great and we are so lucky to have him at this time.
You can't be as good as he is and not have a few screws loose.
def gonna steal that Failure/Fertilizer quote- solid one
Imo, Pitino led the charge adapting to implementation of three point shot back in the day. He astutely did so on both ends of the court. Many years later, this 70+ year old clearly has adapted to and embraced the transfer/NIL era as well as anyone in the country. Remarkable!
Absolutely but he also came to the right school (Repole) at the right time (Stanley).
The stars have aligned for us for the first time.
Fair
True but he also saw the future and hired Matt his first summer when Matt was an agent because Rick saw what this NIL world was going to become and while maybe not the first he definitely hired the best GM for this environment
No matter how much money you need contacts and networks etc
Like Paultz said he sees both ends of the court but he also sees outside the court
A pioneer of sorts.
If what people say about Hall is true.... it's such grave mis-management at the Top there.... no GM? how does a serious Program operate in this environment without one?
For me, there's a holy trinity of Shanley the Father, Rick the Son, and Repole the Holy Spirit that has made the impossible possible.
Take one away and St. John's is not successful. (But unlike the Holy Spirit, I actually know what Repole does.)
As for Matt A, he's an apostle. Perhaps Peter, definitely not Thomas.
Where does Mary Magdalene fit in all of this?

Pretty sure she's still in Louisville.
