Pitino is one of the best coaches in the history of college basketball. We’re stuck with Red for one more year. It’s so depressing

Yea…
Watching him pass and go to the basket whenever he wants is fun to watch. I think we are kidding ourselves if we ever think our coach and team will be ever able to generate the excitement on display tonight. If the inevitable comes next year it would be my dream that we could hire an established winning college coach. Not an up and comer, but a winner who will set the tone from day one and kids will want to play for because they'll get better.

Because he’s a hell of a player. Was pretty clear as day in his time here the potential he had. And a reason some of us were pushing for more run for him.

The previous Coach...thought Joe G was was a better point guard than Richmond, when it was obvious to many of us, that Richmond had big time point guard skills and was the major reason Kadary transferred.

That’s their style. I’m really curious how they do in the tourney because they really lack 3pt shooting, but they do a lot of things at an elite level.

It was such a screw up by JB.

It will matter what kind of whistle they get, sometimes the tournament games get a little foul happy, and that will hurt their physical style of defense. I think their tournament run will be interesting to watch.

Pitino is a great coach on the floor...but morally corrupt, broke many rules during recruiting, and allegedly , boinked the wife of an athletic department staff member, and offered to help her end the pregnancy...A great role model for the young men he coached. arranging hookers for players and their fathers on recruiting trips...and claiming he knew nothing about it...But, I guess all some people care about is winning at all cost...and his half time speech that has gone viral that people are praising...How hypocritical of him to lecture players about how they were raised. Sorry, I used to love Coach P, but if you hire him, you are saying you put wins over character...

They have one guy that can shoot. This is an elevated mid major with a great coach. To your point, shooting stinks but it will be hard for me to have them out before the Sweet 16.

It’s ironic that Hurley told the officials “he’s the best coach in the sport.“ I think Pitino proved otherwise. Pitino has done it over and over again at several schools. I agree he’s a schmuck, but the man knows how to coach. He practices what he preaches. I watched everyone of his training videos back in the 80’s. He was also pretty good at practices when he was at SU too.

They have one good shooter, but several who can make threes. They don’t need many because they are lethal in transition.

I'm so tired of this sanctimony. Our last coach was on probation twice, got divorced and remarried, had that car accident that resulted in a fatality. Everyone has something they're not necessarily proud of, or random bad things that can happen to people. Who are we to judge anyone's personal behavior, honestly?

According to KenPom, they are 1st in Defensive rating, however, they are like 63rd offensively. I feel watching the past games, you can tell how relentless they are on defense, which leads to transition points...I am also interested in seeing how this translates...I feel Pitno's "coaching coefficient" is so much better than the other contenders that he may be able to lead them to FF...

It would be the 4th different team he has taken to a Final Four. They have a real shot to at least get that far. Calipari is the only other coach to have taken 3 different teams to the Final Four, equal with Pitino for now.

It’s hard to hear Pitino and Autry in the same sentence. Red may be the worst head coach in P5
For God’s sake GIVE THIS A REST!!!

If the choice is being sub-.500 with a great guy as head coach, or going to the Final Four with a guy who is questionable ethically - we’re going to have to get very detailed on the ethical shortcomings. And short of a guy who committed felonies -I’m probably going with the Final Four. Auburn fans will lose exactly no sleep at all about Pearl’s checkered past if they win a natty with him. Same for St John’s.
If we want to only hire head coaches who are faithful to their wife, go to church every Sunday and help old ladies cross the street regularly, I’m ok with that. But I’m also aware it means we’re so severely limiting the candidate pool that consistent winning is unlikely.
PS -the folks who think we should have hired Pitino are out of their minds. Lots of reasons it wasn’t going to happen - and many of them are outside the control of anyone at SU.

I never understood Boeheim running Kadary off like he did, given that the entire point of that 4 year stretch was to get Buddy as many shots as possible, and Kadary showed repeatedly that he got Buddy good quality shots much better than Girard could. Seems like the best way to showcase Buddy was to keep Richmond.
