People close to Pitino feel that he will go to a state school. Of course things could change but it appears he doesn’t really like the small private school operation like he thought he would. St. John’s and Georgetown would be a step up of course but still not the same as the SEC, Big 10, etc. We shall see.

Would he leave for Pitt the minute it opens up? Might be the next year. I know Ive said I’d love it if a coach was successful enough to use us as a stepping stone, but in this case I think it wouldn’t necessarily be because he was successful. He is intriguing on his recruiting rep alone.
He would take SJU the issue is SJU not Pitino.
I think you're correct. And it would be so sad if he went to Georgetown because SJU wouldn't take him.

I'm thinking Capel is suddenly safer than he's been in years there. Or at least that would be my hope.
yea usually guys aren't fired right after bringing their team to the NCAA tournament. (winks to the camera in reference to Mullin and Lavin)
P.S. - off topic but mods can I gently make the suggestion that we cut down on the amount of threads that are currently stickied? I have never seen so many sticky topics before its becoming hard to tell where the conversation is even happening

I don't think every school is as dysfunctional as St. John's.
I think Capel makes Cragg's shortlist if he's suddenly available though. So anyone opposed to that should hope Pitt wins a couple games in the tournament.
Done.
I totally agree with you. Was just laughing to myself cause it is probably pretty rare a coach gets fired after making the tournament. But somehow in SJU land, it happens with our last two coaches. Classic, Even though I am pretty sure Mullin "mutually parted ways"

I would think he was Anderson but he doesn’t post like MA speaks in the live look ins at the huddle. If that guy starts posting Vcxsher, rfghxxxz, Joel, Joel. Well then we know he is in fact AndersonDetective Dinkins when can we expect a full report on who it was?
What you mean 56 isn't the new 18?
Fordham coaches have not worked out at other places ,e.g. Frashella, Lappas and Gonzalea
Any chance they're saying that cause they have to? like let's be honest any slight hint of the school being interested in Pitino is going to blow up everywhere and that's not right or fair to the current players and coaching staff no matter if you like MA or not. Knowing my sports luck this is major wishful thinking but just curious.
all those guys coached for Manhattan
Possible of course, but don’t think so.
Most people think this but not really the case. Yes he would take SJU if that’s the only school that offered. But looks like he will try to use the school to land at a bigger one. Time will tell and things could change but this is coming from someone very close to Rick.
