Really unbelievable stat. K, Pitino, Dean Smith are the only others to do it.

Pitino's a whore. He doesn't count. Build and maintain a program, then talk to me.

Past 12 years at Louisville haven't been too bad.

And yet, he 'maintained' the level of the program. Can't put pre-conditions in post-facto.

Technically, he has built three programs. He made Providence, Kentucky and Louisville all better then they were before he was there. He's definitely slimy, but he's a truly great coach.
