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

Pitino should be the highest paid coach in college basketball. The progress of where we were and where we are now, in this short period of time, is incredible.

STJ should pay up and not play around. Both for Rick, but also advertising to future HC targets that we’re a serious program who doesn’t nickel and dime anymore

Strongly sense Rick wants to finish his illustrious career here w his love of Big Apple and all the connections and social opportunities available to him.

Fathers Shanley, also in the latter stage of his career, will imo find a compensation sweet spot to make all parties happy. These two talented change agents will ride off into the sunset together after accomplishing great things in the coming years.

I agree. But the optics of this being drawn out will hurt us in the future. Just get this done
 
Administration agrees w you.
The mere fact that this has gone public may indicate some headwinds.

Much different scenario but after Villanova won 1st championship under Wright, school tore up old contract and gave him a new one. No public disclosure of a negotiation underway, just the announcement of a new contract.

Whatever happens likely will be Rick's last big payday. Has to figure into his mindset.
 
If I do recall Pitino joked at how SJU friendly his contract is 4 million per and I believe he gave us a break on this one knowing we had to pay Mike Anderson 10 million or whatever. They will pay him a fair figure, im not worried about that, health and retirement totally different conversations!
