Think there will be an special advisor in addition to the three coaching spots?
Possible Coaching Candidates
- Thread starter MugCostanza
- Start date
You think he brings back Ralph WIllard??? LOL
I assume the 3 assistants, a DOBO and may be 1 or 2 more. My guess is Mas comes as a full assistant as opposed to a special assistant at Iona.

The return of Tom Abatemarco!
I think Maher(?) posted that he heard Van and Mas. I can definitely see this, so really wondering what he does with the third spot. Could really go big if he's negotiating lots of money for assistants.
Taliek Brown seems to be a guy he’s fond of at Iona and has BE ties obviously. Could be 3rd assistant type or DOBO potentially.The return of Tom Abatemarco!

Side effects include intense sexual and gambling urges, bone pain, lymphoma, and not believing Pitino is really going to be the coach here.Isnt that what people take who have ADHD ?
I don't have a name but I expect him to poach a good coach from a staff say a Brandin Knight type. Just throwing his name out there.
Also someone not Mas might be in line for the Iona job that is currently on Rick's staff. So that would eliminate that person from coming to SJU obviously.
Although I am older, we went to the same high school, St. John’s Prep in Astoria.
Part of the big three CHSAA point guards that year (along with Omar Cook and Andre Barrett).
Even if he’s got an axe to grind with them? IDK if that’s the case but I thought I read that pitino grabbed him when uconn didn’t retain him or promote him.

Assuming Ricky Johns should be the leader for the Iona gig.
Very curious who he might take as you mentioned.
Rick Pitino: His coaching tree
Editor's Note: Three legendary college basketball coaches -- Jerry Tarkanian, Rick Pitino and Guy Lewis -- take center stage this weekend as the trio is inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.
Interesting. So, we have 14 scholarships - assuming 100% returnees and 3 newbies…something gotta give
Couldn't remember if it was still Mater Christi when Brown went there. You can't be that old if it was St. John's Prep when you went there
