Rick Pitino - Head Coach at St John’s University!!!

[IDRAFT]

Honestly I don't think Rick is a compendium on the history of St. John's basketball nor should he be.
He took over Providence right after our Final Four year, and he was in NY as a Knicks assistant during our final 4 year. So he knows that as our high water mark.

Everything else we think as success would be a failure for a Pitino team.

He is very welcoming to former players who show up at practice and respects our history as kings of nyc college basketball, if not as part of the national championship discussion.

So I'm good with his mantra, even if repetitive.

Fair.

i just literally LOL'd at work:

As for returning big man Joel Soriano, who was named second-team All-Big East last season, Pitino added, "the next time he gets in his defensive stance will be the first time."

Savage.

All well said, but other legends in CBB coaching such as Coach K, Bobby Knight, Boeheim, Thompson, Coach Cal spoke of Lapchick and McGuire. SJU didn't become good in '85. Natys be damned.

Pitbull and 2chainz. Not a bad week.

Since Rick is in his 70's you might expect Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond not 2Chainz and Pitbull who's next 50cent or Frank Vali?

Pitino is such a great coach, including his hiring of a great staff. Kudos to all with the way they have us invested in some many 4* & 5* recruits.
