Around College Basketball

This may be the last season I follow college sports. :(
 
You think/know Pitino had to make calls on his behalf vs. it happening w/o Pitino? And he mainly went to be near parents ? (Vs hearing he had a child there and/or $$)

I don't get impression Clayton needed Rick's help to go there.

He’s talking out of his ass. Clayton’s mother is a travel nurse who worked in the northeast and went to a ton of his games when he was at Iona. Father isn’t in the picture.
 
Mick Cronin to Pitino: "hold my beer":

"So what the truth of it has been, it's really hard to coach people that are delusional," Cronin said. "The hungry dog gets the bone. We got guys that think they're way better than they are. They're nice kids. They're completely delusional about who they are. And the team that's mind is on the right stuff and hungry to get a win in conference play is the team that's probably going to win."

"I have to run on the court to get guys to play hard," Cronin said. "It's crazy, you know. And it's every day. I'm tired of it. It's every day. I have the most energy of anybody at practice every day. I'm upset with everybody in that locker room, my assistant coaches and my players."

The days of cuddling players are over, especially since they are ‘pros’ now.
