Don't care. Pitino is worth it.
Hello this is Rick from New Rochelle...
- Thread starter fordham96
- Start date
So what Is the big deal that he is loyal to a friend who is his former assistant coach ?
To me that is a positive trait.
What is the difference between Pitino hiring Massillo and someone hiring a nephew ?
No big deal... just sharing

I posted this earlier. Like him or not, Anderson is a respected coach and a gentleman. Our program already has a mom and pop reputation. Firing Anderson mid-way through the season would not be a good look and would further add to the perception of dysfunction with our program. Short of a scandal, we have to let the season play out.
"yes, this is slick Rick from Westchester, are there any good Italian restaurants near Union and Utopia that allow MBB coaches to have the key and to stay there after hours.............. asking for a friend"
I would normally stay away from a thread like this at least till the near the end of the season but I will say based on the probable market of who would be available and who would actually want to come, he definitely would be my first call which is definitely different from four years ago. I still have my reservations, not regarding his coaching or recruiting abilities but his age (in terms of how much longer he is going to want to do this and have the energy to do so) and his character (I just know if he comes here, they would be looking at every move he makes), but since the NCAA has cleared him and he still shows the ability and fire while at Iona
Good assistant, not a head coach.
Boeheim coaching wise needs to retire. Its not working anymore. Coach C, Coach K and Roy Williams knew when it was time to go, Jim Bo doesn't. Sometimes when you hang on, it does not end well and that is not the way Jim Bo should want to go.
Woody Hayes clearly didn't know it was time for him to go.

They need to fire him at this point he has lost his touch. Unlike SJU they have the resources/fan support to hire somebody who can win there.

They may not "fire" him but wouldn't be all that surprised if he steps down and takes on some sort of administrative role or whatever in their athletic department. The fans there are getting very antsy and it's clear they won't be legit ACC contenders with him at the helm.

I can't speak for you, but the image of the university is in some way tied to the image of the basketball program. Once again having a winning program that gets national attention will do more good for the university than just about anything else I can think of.

Hopefully your view is not rooted in his former sex life because that should have been no one's business.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
If we wait a few years maybe we can grab Chris Beard after he does a stint at some D2 school
Rocket, Rick has a lot of baggage, not just that.
