Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5274540, member: 1268"] You’re making assumptions here. Pitino probably has 4-5 years with Repole behind him and NYC/MSG, and he’ll build that brand up to the point where they should have great momentum and be able to attract a solid coach. As we saw with Nova, you’re only as good as your coach. Where would we be without Hurley? Sure they may drop back down, but also a decent chance they maintain form with the right coach. Of all the conference teams, they easily have the best chance of maintaining rivalry status. Shaka is on a descending pattern with his ignorance to the portal, McDermott already has his successor flagged, both are also non historic mid west BE teams. I’m not a buyer of Willard. I’d embrace it, makes sports so much better and brings eyes to the BE. [/QUOTE]
