That stat from yesterday about how the top 10 power conference teams with the most unique starting lineups this season are among the 10 worst power conference teams extends beyond just the starting lineup. By mid Feb you need to have as close to normal, predictable rotations as possible. That’s how teams gel. I get that none of the peripheral players have really stepped up and commanded bigger roles but this fling you know what at the wall and see what sticks strategy shouldn’t still be employed this late in the season. Not developing a clear rotation yet lands squarely on Rick.

Hasn’t been any real injuries that would throw a wrench in rotations either, we’ve been pretty fortunate on that front all season

You rarely see a coach trash his own team like this. Awful awful look (even though that is all true lol)

I’ve heard a lot of unprofessional crap in my lifetime of following college hoops but this takes the cake. You do a lousy job with half time adjustments have been outcoached on numerous occasions and now throw your players under the bus, wow. And then you expect them to come out and play hard for you after your demoralizing comments. Sorry but this fan just lost a ton of respect for Mr. Pitino.
 
Listen, this team is inexcusable at this point, but the drivel coming out of his mouth is, frankly, unacceptable.

They are kids (I don’t care what year or what their NIL) is, he recruited them, and you’re a grown ass man throwing these players under the bus. Whether or not his criticism is warranted does not matter one bit to me, what he’s doing his insane and suicide for this program. That’s not hyperbole either. Who is gonna play for him? Why would any of these guys stay?

Maybe he wants to get fired. He's coming as close as is possible for me to want him gone after year one.

Of course, no one sane would take the job after that. If we're not going to give a hall-of-famer one year, what would we give some unknown?

Same here, got tickets for the game because I was excited with Rick.

I never ever expected things would turn this way, I'm not going, if I did i'd leave at halftime.

I will be at the Creighton game . I have the tickets and I probably can’t even sell them now if I tried.
 
Think about this….. you’re an opposing coach going after some of the same recruits. You have a copy of Pitino's rants and you show this to a recruit and say….. if you don’t do well, your name will be in this rant next, do you want that?
