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

[Knight]

Just to throw out this info that came to me while talking with an old friend re Louie, at the time of his passing. This individual played for Louie and I commented that it was too bad that John Kresse left, with Louie, for the Nets, instead of taking over as head coach at SJU.
He replied that Kresse had no choice because the athletic director, at the time, Walter McLaughlin, preferred Mulzoff to Kresse.
All these years, never before heard that version of events.

As I recall, Kresse headed south because his wife got the ladies coaching job at the College of Charleston.

That happened after he returned to SJU, with Louie, after the Nets job ended.

For whatever reason, we were always shut out of St. Ray's players during their glory days until Ricky Torres. Felt that their coach Gary Decessare held a grudge or something.

I think I have the time line correct, and if I do perhaps it was all just a coincidence, but I think DeCesare booted Ernest Brown from the team shortly after verbaling to us.

Rick must have worked under my Army drill sergeant.

That is what I would call a halftime (attitude) adjustment!

This explains why we are most dangerous when we are down double digits. We may not win every game but they go down fighting.

On so many levels, this was the perfect hire.

Whether Pitino was playing up to cameras or that's really his general coaching style, I don't know as he has said he's more calm these days. Nor do I care.

Capturing this season in the way they are this year will be a great reminder of how fortunate we as fans for more years to come.

Why not? Never to young to learn how to deal with adversity.

I just watched the 1st episode. It was unbelievable. Great look into the program and Pitino. Of course it also brought back the painful memory of the Baylor loss. Then again also was a reminder how far this team has grown since then. Amazing.
