Pitino to Nova?

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).
 
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.

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

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

Administration dropped the ball. Pitino wanted to get started ASAP in the portal, Villanova dragged its feet to see if Willard would rethink if his leverage play failed at MD.

If Willard ends up staying, Villanova is screwed. Crazy to think they fired their coach, burned Plan A, and are waiting on a prayer for Plan B.

What's wrong with driving a Lexus? I have 2 and I am a 2x UConn grad! One for each degree?

lol nothing, it just fits the country club vibe that Villanova students/grads exude. One piece of a larger puzzle. There’s nothing wrong with it. Calhoun drove a Lexus too, I know because he almost hit me with it once.

My point previously was just that I didn’t think a Pitino fit the culture of Villanova. Apparently I was right.

Well for one, that's what 20 years of Wright will do. But also, it's a rich person school in general. It's on the Main Line outside Philly. Median home in Radnor is 1.4 million.

And it looks like that prayer’s not coming true — some big Maryland boosters are tweeting that they’re confident Willard is staying.

Who does Nova turn to next? I honestly can’t come up with a name.
