I did enjoy the media guides where we'd add his record as an assistant to his win totals because it was so abysmal.
Possible Coaching Candidates
- Thread starter MugCostanza
- Start date
Is Ronnie still around? I haven't seen him at the games for a while? He always randomly sits next to me. He used to shove 3 of his players in the row I used to sit in behind the bench. Not sure how all of our fat butts used to squeeze in that row.

he was at a ton of SJU games this year, he's still coaching Cardozo, and he was at a ton of high school games (in his Cardozo jacket)
He's very active still
While Masiello is not a head coaching candidate, I wonder if he can be filed under “assistant coaching candidate”.

I am sure he did. The exchange went something like this:
Pitino: “Good luck Ed. Providence still has a soft spot in my heart.”
Cooley: “Thanks. Hope you pull the upset.”
Pitino: “How are things otherwise with the program?”
Cooley: “Not bad. Could always be better. Really miss Fr. Shanley’s leadership”.
Pitino: “I have said once and I will say it over again, he is a superstar.”
Cooley: “Yes he is. You will do great things working with him in short order…”
Conversation ends abruptly as reporters begin to listen in.
Good to hear. I guess my attendance wasn't too good recently. It's hard watch bad teams at bad times...
Special enough. Rick is playing it perfectly, saying how great Iona is but stopping short of committing to Iona or eliminating any chance he will leave.
That way when he does leave no one can accuse him of lying.....
Ah yes. I do remember that stat well. I had to Google it. We're still in the top 10, at number 9, but so many teams have passed us by.

He would like to coach for another 10 years.
"Well, I'm physically fit and mentally I think I still have it," Pitino said Thursday. "But my wife always says, 'If you want to make God laugh, make a plan.' I think you just take it one year at a time. Now, my desire would be to coach that long.

Pitino wants to coach until he's 80: 'I still have it'
Rick Pitino said he'd like to coach another 10 years and praised his current home at Iona when asked about openings at other schools.
Impressive that Temple is still up there. I guess they played the most seasons. Now that Jimmy is gone the 'Cuse will be dropping....

I believe we'd still be fifth if we hadn't vacated wins from the Jarvis years - we had to vacate any win that Abe Keita played in.
Good point. I hadn't considered that.

I remember when we were Top 4.
