Possible Coaching Candidates

CMA’s was at MSG.

Has to be MSG.

Think we’d roll out red carpet and get more media coverage in Manhattan.

And I’d bring all the players - including Gardner. I remember LJ and Mustapha were at CMAs intro.
I didn’t recall CMA’s being at MSG

Ian steere?

Nope from press conference video it was that lefty wing who transferred from miss st I think and then transferred to WKU I believe before never playing.
 
If he comes...

Press Conference at MSG or campus?
Dude, we're going big bro, MSG... we're opening up the 400 level also, the God Father will be sitting at mid court.
Oh and we're rounding up the top NYC ballers, and their coming to MSG for the presser, they dont have a say the matter.

We gonna show these young bucks how we old school peeps throw a real NY party.
LIGHTS...CAMERA...ACTION...... MSG ROCKING 19K +, BRIGHT LIGHTS ON BROADWAY.
There's nothing like NYC when NYC throw a party
 
Oh man, I remember CMA's press conference feeling so forced and uninspired. Like he was just told the day before about St. John's and was there the next day recruiting kids during the press conference... because that's literally what happened.

To his credit, though, the team mostly stayed. That was the most important thing at the time since there wasn't the expanded transfer portal and it was so late in the off-season.

Needless to stay Pitino is a much more dynamic speaker and probably already has planned what he'll say. That, combined with his credential, NY personality, and early timing should make for an amazing press conference.
 
Always so interesting to watch the “mating” dance of bullshit. First you hear Coach loves Prez but blah, blah, blah. Prez loves Coach remembers him fondly blah, blah, blah.

A few years ago (during our many coaching searches), and I can’t find the story, it was ”reported” that as a young kid Pitino would take a bus and a train to go to practices at St. John’s with Coach Carnesseca. Something to that effect. I never believed it but I always had this vision of Pitino’s parents worried about young Rick rolling down Union Tpke on the old MTA buses.

Of course, now I want to believe it was ALL TRUE but… now the kid (Pitino) is telling me that he needs the GPS to find Grand Central and Utopia Parkway.

Ah, let the dance begin!

Rick can sell ice to eskimos
 
Having met him a few times I’m still taking the wait and see approach here. I’m just hoping he’s not taking us for a ride.
Agree. There will be several head coach openings at big football schools over the next few weeks. Pitino said this 3 weeks ago:

"I was around when basketball could parallel football in my early years of coaching, now if you look at the TV ratings it's ridiculous. The way basketball sagged & football has become gigantic. Big football schools have a huge advantage over everyone. Whatever they want, the football schools get.”

What football schools are you thinking about? Think Texas is staying out. Techs been mentioned. Penn state trickle?

I think the idea of NOT having to deal with Football would be attractive to a potential coaching candidate, no matter the name. This is (mainly) and basketball only conference...allows you to focus singularly, also allows you to not be "second fiddle" to a football program and or have to get pulled in multiple directions. Hypothetically a guy like Rick Pitino and the gravitas he comes with would be asked to help with fundraising for football at a major football school given his connections.

And given the age of said potential hire, that would be one less thing to worry about. My two cents.
