Maybe. He loved SU. His mom not as much. But he absolutely would have stayed given the lead guard role. But JB protected Joe to his detriment. And that went back to the recruiting trail. JB was just really stubborn at timesDid JB run Kadary off of Seton Hall? You guys act like Kadary would absolutely have spent four years here, if not for JB. Not likely.
Thank you for not including Bernie and his lovely wife.
This is why I didn't even want him in the discussion for SU coaching job.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...
Slick has had a lot of issues. Publicly known and notI wasn't looking to trash our ex-coach and program (because we all know worse stories than I referenced), but rather just wanted to point out that we are really no "cleaner" than Pitino.
Hasn't Kadary made over two million dollars the last few years? We would have never met that cash.Did JB run Kadary off of Seton Hall? You guys act like Kadary would absolutely have spent four years here, if not for JB. Not likely.
the tried and true coach gerry macnamera conditioning regimen ...Girard also came back after his freshman year overweight and slower. Clemson fit Girard would have helped him even being misused.
We certainly could have if the leadership didn't have the program so far behind the times.Hasn't Kadary made over two million dollars the last few years? We would have never met that cash.
he transfered because Boeheim told him he was not allowed to shoot other than layups!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.
Kadary was more of an after thought. We recruited him AFTER Jackson went to UCONN.Kadary was just one in a long line of guys that we invested a lot of time and energy into bringing to SU… and then JB ended up disliking and pushing out for one reason or another other.
It seemed to happen frequently and I never quite understood it.
this year? He’s had success everywhere he goes, literally every year. It was a no brainer except <<reasons>>
Correct. His wife under no circumstances would ever have lived in Syracuse.The biggest <<<reason>>> is that Pitino has no interest in coaching at Syracuse, at all, ever. Overcoming that was not going to be possible, even if the administration wanted to.
Second biggest reason is St John’s has a benefactor (Repole) whose sole goal is to help the basketball team win. We had a guy whose sole purpose was self-promotion, who has successfully figured out he can get all of that he wants without giving a dime to Syracuse. So St John’s had something attractive to a coach that Syracuse did not.

The "no money" thing... has been a management thing the whole time. There is money, and it's the HC's job to go out and get more.
How in the hell is there anything unclean about a freak accident on the highway where he was found 100% innocent of any criminal wrongdoing?? That could have happened to you just as easily. This is dumb as hell man.I wasn't looking to trash our ex-coach and program (because we all know worse stories than I referenced), but rather just wanted to point out that we are really no "cleaner" than Pitino.

well story goes slick rick introduced julie to jim NO ????
stands to reason julie watevahernamewas previous was pretty close to rick pitino and got along rather well ? one would imagine they're still friends.
given your choice of jobs betwixt SU and ST JOHN'S ? you decide.
JB'S record the last 10 years show that he had gotten worse as a recruiter and coach.It was such a screw up by JB.
I'm sure you are right. Our program and fans deserve a winner and not a Kevin Stallings Pitt disaster.I don’t think SU will pay the going rate for an established winning Head Coach. I’d look more for a shot in the dark like Fran that they can get on the cheap.

That's a plus cause Rick could have a girl friend in SyracuseCorrect. His wife under no circumstances would ever have lived in Syracuse.
Why would have that bothered Rick?Correct. His wife under no circumstances would ever have lived in Syracuse.
We had Bernie fine situation and were on probation twice..so maybe we didn't have the character eitherPitino 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.
