He should stay there. I continue to believe he’ll take them to a Final Four if he sticks around. After this strong season, he’ll get even more talent and find a couple of shooters. He can make them a perennial Top 25 or better program.
It would be kinda great to have them as our major rival. It makes so much more sense than any of our other "rivals" but it never really materialized because they've been largely irrelevant.
That "c" word is big....
for where?
Not that we should believe him but Pitino went on record today as saying St. John's is his final coaching stop.
Who is trashing it? But it also should be acknowledged. As good as Slick Rick is, Mike Repole is equally responsible. They are paying two guys 900k each. It’s easier and far less admirable to rebuild in today’s game. It can happen overnight when you have a billionaire signing checks. But everything said is true. Guy can coach his arse off. I mean Miami went to the final four.
What a concept.
Yea - but every program is paying. How much did we pay Karaban and McNeeley
Exactly what has he taught RJ Louis and Khadary Richmond? Richmond looks like the exact same player he has been except his pockets are a bit deeper.
Yes but we also have a few guys making over 1M collectively.
Why are you lying and making stuff up?
I just feel this St. John’s story is slightly overblown. Yeah, they are good. Yeah, they are exceeding expectations in a league where almost everyone else is underachieving. They play tremendous defense and have a ton of red flags(didn’t show today) offensively that will ultimately cause their doom, I believe earlier rather than later. This isn’t a classic rebuild. What Pitino does great is he pivots to the strengths of his players. That said, I am not sure he is even a top ten coach of all time.
Rumor is his son takes over
Reminds me a little bit of the 2022 Providence team, very aggressive and in your face but can be limited offensively when pushed in high scoring games. S16/E8 ceiling though I would say.
Not doubting you but how do u know about the $900000! To each player
Just like the SEC did. That’s the way of the world today.
i think the difference in the callouts is that Pitino didn’t spend an offseason writing checks with his mouth that his team couldn’t cash and he wasn’t comparing them to other teams/people when calling them soft.
"If you just look at the things I was right about and also ignore the parts of things I was right about that are dumb, then it's crazy you guys don't think I know what I'm talking about."
He has the same amount of titles as Hurley, we all saw Louisville win it all. He would probably have a bunch of titles if he stayed at Kentucky but he never stays long at any place. Hell, he probably would've won one at Providence had he stayed.
Do you measure the amount in pounds or kilos?
Probably not.
There’s a big difference between what YOU say I said and what I actually said. You completely missed my point. Granted, it was suttle so try reading it again. Ok dw?
I think his quote was St John's was his final " college" coaching job.
One thing he does that I think is cool is that he uses a portable P.A. system (similar to a bullhorn, but more hightech) in practice so every player can hear him without having to yell. Would love to have been an AC, or even a manager, on one of his teams to learn his mehods.
They have the same amount of titles yet one guy is 20 years younger. You’re really incredible
It’s almost like he is friends w Tasheed. His posts/rants clearly have an agenda.
