Pitino

Can we stop? We were on the cusp oh hiring Calipari when the acne better known as the morality police started blemishing the search.

Pitino didn't want to come here when he was hot because he saw this as a perennial mom and popper. He's throwing out a demand for an apology from the feds as a prerequisite for taking this job...which won't be offered. The reason for the demand? A rejection from the likes of St John's is more degrading than getting caught pushing the veal off the table in order to get at some beaver.

Sorry, Rick. The powers that be in this school realize we're Elephant Man. We're not going after the J-Lo's of this world for obvious reasons.

Are you referring to when he said he'd be interested in the job if the SDNY issued him some sort of bizarre public apology? Saying you'd be interested in something if something else you know would never actually happen happens is not genuine interest.

If you say so. Could have said many other things besides that then if there was no interest.
 
We are likely going to be bad next year. Reach out and let the NCAA know that we will place ourselves on a one year tournament ban to be able to hire this man.

They would laugh in your face.

Ok newsman, ready to watch nothing for the next 4-5yrs? Yes.
Ok, cool, lets do it.

Pitino has been in touch with some donors etc

Interesting. Did he get any traction, do you know?

On another note: it amazes me that the media isn't all in favor of Pitino/SJU. Think of the readership, viewership and clicks they'd get!

I’d take a three year tourney ban if we get Pitino. At least we’d go deep in the dance in year four. Still better than the result we’d get with some of the other names mentioned.

I'd beg Pitino to come here. Almost any other name gives us nothing for the next ten years. Nothing but the same crap we've been swilling for most of the time with the exception of some Jarvis/Lavin years.

Pitino is high major. He can stop the bleeding. He can bring in Artest...and perhaps Precious. No one else can. Surely not Cluess. Everyone else is sub mid major...with the exception of Hurley who'll replicate the mediocrity we've gotten used to through the last few decades.

It's sad that he's the guy that i really really want,, knowing his past. When you been bad for so long, you eventually stop caring if a person is a known cheater, and you say to hell with it, I'm willing to still take a chance on that guy, because you just want to win
so bad that you're at that point that you're willing to do anything.
Well I'm at that point. Sick of nova winning the b.e. every year while we continue to suck.
We aren't beat jay with cluess, not with Jon (atleast not in his first 5yrs.
Only rick can take it from Jay.
