Quick Rick also needs to be the king of his domain and St John’s will always be somewhat of an afterthought in the NYC sports landscape.

He’ll be the king of Rhode Island if he goes back to PC. Do not underestimate the importance of his outsized ego in this.

I’ve considered that. Pitino holding court at his favorite restaurant on Federal Hill any random night of the week will be like watching the Godfather have dinner. I really like the Providence job for a coach like Pitino. He is going to win big wherever he goes. Providence is a great place to live in my book.

Why would Cooley go to Georgetown rather than stay at Providence? Is it easier to recruit at Georgetown?

If the money is similar, I assume Cooley wants a shot at building a championship program. Maybe he could catch fire at some point with a class at PC and make a deep run, but the chances of consistently competing at the top of the BE and national level are pretty small. For many reasons, GT offers Cooley a higher ceiling (NIL money, bigger brand, better school, no real dominant regional player that ensures they'll be second fiddle, etc.).

Georgetown has $3.21 billion endowment, 3 times Nova and far greater than everyone else. It has a large enrollment and very wealthy alumni. You got the NIL thing going on. What's a few extra mill. Maybe Georgetown is trying to effect a basketball revolution and they think Cooley is the guy to do it. It's a now or never type of situation. I don't know if it will work out but I don't think the money is crazy given the situation and resources.

This is a crucial hire for Georgetown. John Thompson II started ok and fizzled and Ewing was terrible. Georgetown may never get back to being relevant if the next coach doesn't turn it around. Three strikes and you're out.

University of Virginia isn't bad. Neither is Maryland. Those are two regional competitors right there.

Not Queens. But Westchester does. To put it in relatable @HuskyHawk terms… it’s like living in Charlton or Canton (mmmmm beer) but working at BU, BC or Harvard.

Just saw @August_West 's post on Winged Foot. How is that drive daily? Viable? I guess so, especially if he has a driver.

Y’all can pay as much as y’all want, it still won’t win you anything of significance or get you any national attention.

But congrats on getting a few wins on us here and there.

We'all can afford a good coach is what it says. I'm obviously dealing with someone special here and have wasted my time. My bad.

I don’t disagree. There are players in the area but GT has been before, and could once again, become top dog in the area. There is next to no chance of that happening at PC.
 
I didn't realize Pitino only spent 2 years at Providence. The idea he has some love affair for the place seems like a reach. Why not UMass, his alma mater? BU, where he coached for like six years? If Billy Donovan was unemployed, sure, but Pitino?

Rothstein tweeting that English from George Mason as a prime candidate. I mean he’s fine and all but going from Cooley to English would be a failure of epic proportions in PeeCee land

Leaving is one thing. Leaving but staying in the conference? That's not a good look, especially after he's filming the us, we, me, you videos or what they're called.

Also, this looks like it's been done for a month which seems to coincide with him checking out of the season....just an awful look.

LOL, he lives in East Greenwich. It’s like saying you want out of Hartford if you live in Middletown. He bleeds Providence.

Cooley may bleed his hometown Providence, but apparently bled out at PC. New MLS listing suggests Cooley’s hightailing out of his East Greenwich home.

It's small consolation, but I honestly hope you hire a better coach for less money and kick the snot out of his teams. Maybe you can now think about his arrogant and spoiled comments in a new light.

Good luck with the next coach and thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Where does the Georgetown rivalry fall now for Providence fans? At the top of the hate list?
Expand ...
LOL, do you even half to ask? I'm 100% certain that Danny Hurley would not do something like this and I'm 100% certain neither would UConn. Georgetown and Cooley? Snakes. We were playing great ball, and they destroyed a season.
