I did not mean to imply that the last 3 years were irrelevant. Of course they're not. He is getting an opportunity with Rick because of his last 3 years. But let's also face facts, this last season was the worst of his 3. Yes there were contributing factors, but I do not think it's unreasonable for Rick to have said something along the lines of "I really want you here next season, but just know that you have a lot of work to do and that you'll be competing for minutes with the other guards that I'll be bringing in". At the same time, I can understand why Posh may not have wanted to hear something like that. And that's why I said in another post that I understand why both Pitino and Posh did what they did.
