Pitino to Nova?

Lots of smoke

Richard, not Rick?

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Assume he brings Dent along

 

[Leebo]

Are you trying to confuse people by not putting the first name in the title?

 

[uconngb]

My Nova buddies are apoplectic

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Rick is a Richard.

 

[Devland]

Rick is a Richard.

Richard Cranium

Hope so would be good for the league

Yeah I’d be pretty pissed. I don’t think he fits the country club, squeaky clean image of Nova either (even if it is his dad who has done all the stuff).

What is this whole country club squeaky clean Nova image thing? Their coaches were Rollie Massimino and Steve Lappas before Jay Wright.

This was slated to happen the night UConn played Villanova at XL.

Their fanbase is very accustomed to that vibe. I live close to Nova and work less than 5 minutes away. Everyone with a Nova sticker on their car drives a Lexus or the like. I go to most Nova UConn games and the Nova fans all look like they’re about to go golfing afterwards. That may be their past, but Jay Wright is their identity.

After one UConn victory at Nova, UConn fans were cheering and some Nova fans started chanting safety school (despite UConn being ranked higher than them at the time academically). They care a lot about feeling superior to everyone else, morally and otherwise.

Not saying he’s wrong but he has a podcast with 4 Twitter followers

How real is this? I also heard Mick Cronin was a real possibility.

 

[gtcam]

Seton Hall should grab Dan Hurley's father
Pitinos and the Hurleys

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Solid hire. He doesn't suck, and is not going to cake his pants every game like Neptune. I don't see him ever making a Final Four though.

Will Dent follow to Xavier too ?

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Classic boneyard

Villanova dropped the ball so hard, it’s amazing that administration is all still employed.

 

[superjohn]

I like Mack but this is a great hire for them instead of bringing back an old coach for a second time.

Why is Xavier considered a better destination than Villanova? Let's ask our Wildcat friends.
