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

The guy is motivated as ever to win and to get SJU back as a perennial NCAA/top half BE team.

He eats, breathes and sleeps SJU basketball right now per a guy who knows him

He will coach as long as his body will allow it. And he hopes to coach 5+ more years.
I totally believe you but to be fair was there any a time he wasn't like this ? Last year in I think June he had a st johns golf bag with his name on it at cherry valley in garden city and he couldn't stop talking Johnies to club guys.

Heck the first practice Panther saw last year he texted me how he was stunned how amazing his practices were in detail and how insane his energy was and how tired Panther got just watching and Panther has more energy and knowledge of hoops than all of us combined :)

Speaking more to his age and how his motivation maybe fading because of it.

And the idea that he wore UK geat in Lexington had some worrying about his commitment to SJU.
 
Rick wants to coach as long as his health allows and tells Zach that he would welcome an extension. If I were within the upper brass I'd be petitioning to extend him at the first bout of sustained success this Winter. Keep him here until he's 80 and get it done this season.

A friend who's a Seton Hall fan recently mentioned to me that NYC is keeping Pitino young. The way he totally immerses himself with all the city has to offer, I believe it.
