it's amazing how Pitino has become a spokesman for the league.

 

[sirvoo]

Like him or not, the guy has a keen eye for the game. If he has something positive to say about our future I tend to think he is right and we should be optimistic.

 

[LINY89]

Don't really see how the C-7 will give us an edge recruiting wise, but nice to hear positive things from him.

 

[rcatalano]

Funny coming from a person who once said to one of our potential coach replacements to stay away from SJU, you cant win there!!!!!

If you believe anything Pitino says, I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[fan5577]

It seemed like a backhanded compliment to me. He said it's hard for a middle of the road team to climb in the Big East and play with the big boys (paraphrase) so when they leave they will have an advantage recruiting against people at their own level.
It would have been great for the BE to stay as is because I would have loved to pay back all these teams that have been beating on us for a decade!

Slick Rick is a weasel and an opportunist. He learned from one of the best weasels in college basketball. He made his bones at Providence, and quickly abandoned them for bigger fish. The Knicks, Kentucky and now Louisville......whoever paid his ransom.
But, yes, he is a great basketball coach. I lost all respect for him when he got caught banging a MILF in the back of Luigi's and then trying to cover it up.....all while the misses was shopping on 5th Avenue.
The other weasel, Jim Boeheim, another great basketball coach.....never in 35+ years ever figured out why Bernie Fine liked pink shirts and purple ties and why some of his players spent so much time at Mrs. Fine house while Bernie was busy scouting.....the schoolyards.

Anything Pitino.says you know he has a reason for saying it So I do not take it as us having an edge he is always looking for an edge

Have you also lost all respect for Mark Jackson (a licensed minister, no less) for banging a stripper, the nude photos, etc.? Or does he get a pass because he's one of our all-time greats?

I think he's talking about how we look within the seven teams. It doesn't give us edge over UCLA.

I want to keep an eye on his son to see how he progresses as a coach and recruiter. There will be a day Lavin leaves and Pitino's son with his dad as the next "Keady" would be very interesting

from SJU, you cant win there!!!!!

I also recall him saying SJU would be crazy not to hire Bobby Gonzalez, after the Jarvis dismissal. "Crazy" being the operative word.

No. Not because he is a licensed phony minister (think Al Sharpton phony) but because Mark is in the professional ranks and coaches adults. He can screw all the hookers in Vegas for all I care. That is between him and his spouse.
I did not lose respect for Rick because he cheated on his wife but because he is "teaching" young teens the art of basketball and these kids look up to their coach and his image of integrity and honesty. He tarnished that image....publicly and there will always be that asterisk in his history.
High school and college coaches are still viewed as much "teachers" as coaches and such public indiscretion has a price attached.
Being a Hall of Fame coach does not get them passes either. That Jim Boeheim was in such public denial about the Fines was more about him defending his own image than that of Bernie Fine....or Mrs. Fine.

Hopefully that stands for Mother I'd Like to Forget because she was gross.

Pitino was teaching ! sex ed to his players chapter 3 sex in a public place

 

[redmannorth]

There can be no doubt that Rick Pitino is a great bball coach.
Having said that he has never liked SJU, never done anything to help SJU, recruits NYC and I would never believe anything positive he has to say about SJU.
There must be a hidden motive for his praise of our program.
Truth be told we finally have a staff that sees the benefits of SJU and is recruiting better than any staff has ever done. That is all that should matter to SJU fans, the perception that our staff has of our school.
