Pitino has done a phenomenal job at St. John’s and just led them to a big win over 3rd ranked UCONN.  His passion for the game is stronger than ever and he is one of the last true old school coaches who has adjusted to the NIL era.  Imagine where our program would be if he took over after Boeheim.

There isn’t a Pitino out there and a few good coaches a level down (Shaka Smart, Mark Fee, Nate Oats etc.) are not available. A few up and coming names have been thrown out there on this board but they aren’t proven winners at power schools.  I wonder if an NBA experienced coach should be considered? Yes, there’s been a few that have stumbled at the college level, but the college game has changed significantly in the past 2 to 3 years due to Nil, the portal and older, veteran players being highly sought after.  You could say that the college game is now similar to the pros, so an NBA experienced coach should be able to prosper at the college level.
