OT: URI head coaching search

[CL82]

Show cause orders always confuse me. If URI can hire Pitino even if he gets a show cause penalty. The problem is that any penalty assessed against him travels with him. So if he has recruiting restrictions, number of visits etc., that would go with him to URI. But reductions in schollies are assessed against the institution so they should not go with him.

Also, has a show cause been assessed against Pitino yet?

 

[Husky25]

Haven't you heard Pitino speak. He insists he is innocent. Wait, are you suggesting you don't believe him?

Even if he never saw even one pound of bacon come off the line, the lead farmer cannot stray so far from the trough without at least some slop spilling over onto his wingtips.

All meaning Becker and cox. Who are they even looking at?

 

[August_West]

If Cox doesn't get the head coaching position I don't want him. We're UConn and should never take URI rejects.

LOL I love your sig.

Has anyone discussed Villanova's assistant Ashley Howard? I read recently that Jay thinks he is ready to be a head coach. Could also explain why they are waiting till after the final four.

They have discussed him as a possibility on the URI messageboard.

What does it say?

 

[superjohn]

There’s no chance that’s true.

Zero.

First, no athletic director at a reputable school is going to take Pitino’s call.

Second, if one was crazy enough to take the call, the school president would be consulted long before there was a ‘rough agreement.’

Third, Pitino would have had every media lackey he knows tweeting about it by now.

The Post is running with the Providence story. The Pitino quote is amazing, what a scumbag.
Rick Pitino was this close to getting a major college job

LOL at the Post going full click bait right there.

For the lazy:

“Every night I go to bed, I’m bitter at the U.S. attorney’s office and at the board of traitors,” Pitino recently said. “I’m not bitter at the school but at the board of traitors.”

Honestly, that is classic Pitino. Nobody believes his own bullspit like Ricky P.

Goodman says that Micah Shrewsberry has also interviewed.

You don’t believe their board is traitors?

They threw him overboard for doing what they compelled him to do.

Don’t see how that is an inaccurate turn of a phrase.

I wish we could find out what is true about this URI story.

Don’t tell me you believe Quicky Ricky was a fall guy. Sarcasm off.

That is an old quote the NY Post recycled for their “story”... I doubt Pitino gave that quote again verbatim regarding URI.

Fall guy? No I wouldn’t say that. But they didn’t have any problem with anything he did until he got caught.

 

[ctchamps]

That’s my definition of fall guy. Some if not all of them knew if not encouraged the stuff. He’s caught, they throw him under the bus trying to convince people otherwise.

Pitino is sleeze nonetheless. He just has lots of company

So then you think he’s a fall guy? I guess I’d consider a fall guy to be more of rube - I’d expect someone who made Pitino’s money to understand it was part of the deal.

 

[tcf15]

Yeah, it sounds like URI is doing everything possible to not hire David Cox. Can't see them interviewing multiple candidates if Cox was the guy they wanted all along, especially considering the fact that Cox is owed money if he doesn't get the head coaching gig.

This is what doesn't make sense to me. We wanted Hurley and interviewed no one else, it was clear we wanted him. It's almost clear that URI doesn't want Cox.

Agreed.

Chris Mack, for instance, left Xavier for Louisville on March 27th.

4 days later, Xavier promoted 10-year Xavier assistant coach Travis Steele to head coach.

If the guy already on your bench is the guy you want, you make it happen ASAP.

Yeah, intuitively I would agree. Don’t want to count my eggs before they hatch, though.

I also found it odd that the recruits were all tweeting that stuff yesterday after a week of confidence. Perhaps word is traveling that Cox isn’t the favorite, but it could also be them growing anxious.

 

[Huskyforlife]

It’s also telling it doesn’t seem like we’ve interviewed anyone for our open spot. I’m sure Hurley is in constant contact with Cox about his situation. Every single way you look at this situation. It becomes obvious what’s happening with Cox.
