Yes but this is why Pitino is revered by many other coaches, he sticks up for them and goes out of his way to protect and say positive things about them. For example….. when have you ever heard Coach Cooley say such complimentary things about St. John’s?
Last Week !
Rick’s way of saying we made Kadary an offer he couldn’t refuse!
CRP also goes off because he knows how hard it is to get anyone outside of NY besides displaced NYers to even think about St. Johns. He wants to make sure folks notice in the news rooms and seeding committee meetings and that this isn't easy. Being outspoken is a way of doing that. Even if he goes over the top at times.
And I do believe that part of this was to shield Sha. Pitino is very loyal to and protective of the coaching fraternity.

Give me 16-3 / 7-1 and comments that may drive some folks mad, all day and everyday, over stoic and non-answer, answers with the majority of the team’s records the last 25 years.
And I do not care about having an in between because after nearly a generation, our only option was losing.

I'm with you, I don't see anything wrong with what Pitino said.

Uhhhhhhhh that was my point, I guess you missed it.
Cooley did so cause of the complimentary things Pitino said about his program. But don’t worry everyone who thanked you missed the point as well.

Shout out to RJ for another great game. While Zuby, Kadary and others scoring has been up and down, RJ provides the team with consistent strong scoring and pretty much is a major reason why the team has won the past 5 games. Funny to note how the die hard haters are changing their tune from all out hate to now saying that “he has improved in some areas of his game”, yet still won’t credit him with basically winning these games.
But don’t worry as soon as he has a few turnovers they will be out in force again.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, that in spite of some people's trepidations, he's shaping up to be a decent hire.
+ one million Mike Anderson “Inside the Muddles”
Not surprised by the success, so far.
What worries me (and will continue to do so until that moment arrives, regardless of our results before that), is what's going to happen when Rick decides to hang it up?
Is he going to force Masiello, or even his son, on us? My guess is Rick is going to do a fall retirement, like Tony Bennett, and we will have no choice.
Noting against Mas, but when Rick goes, I'd rather do a full-on search, and come up with the best candidate. But, I don't think we're going to be able to do that.
I strongly doubt either Mas or Rick Jr. gets a free lane to the job no matter what Rick desires. If we can have a few head turning seasons, imo the job will be more attractive meriting a search. I’m not worrying about post Rick “stuff” & am going to enjoy the hell out of this ride!

I’m not ready to write off Richard as a suitable replacement when the time arrives. Who’s done well at Minnesota?
And one no matter his relationship with Rick, I suspect one will offer his opinion from a business perspective, not one of inheritance. Just my opinion.
To be clear, I did not suggest writing Richard off, but expressed notion that neither he nor Mas should be entitled to favorite status precluding a search. Feet back on the floor, beat Xavier!
