Message: [QUOTE="DilemaCuse, post: 5327750, member: 7621"] agreed, I think his success at SJU just rubs salt in the wound for SU's decision to go internal when they needed to go external. Uconn was about to go on their first title run, SJU hires Pitino, Gtwon poached Cooley. Some old regional rivals were ascending and others made investments and upgrades, while SU blinked and thought playing it safe was best. BOT didnt take into consideration the landscape in CBB around them and thought we were still in 2012 and the assistant they promoted was in demand outside of SU (Red wasnt, unlike Hopkins, who was in demand). Through 51 games, I think it has backfired. [/QUOTE]
