So, ALL the complaints about  age specifically that have been applied to JB - Father time is undefeated, essentially everyone after 65 begins to lose steam when it comes to energy & commitment, lack of connection with the recruits, growing tired & losing the fire, grinding on the recruiting trail, etc. DON'T apply to Pitino? Why?

It's also not like he's setting the world on fire at Iona, there's really been nothing noteworthy of his coaching tenure there so far. He's been decent to good, but you could find other coaches at the same level currently that are 30 years younger who are seeing the same success. It just doesn't make sense. Sheesh.

Edit: And this idea of Pitino with a selected successor... come on, has that EVER happened in NCAA college basketball history, ever? To hire a coach with a Coach in waiting as a part of the hire?! The way it's described in here like "oh yeah, that's easy" - who is this alleged coach in waiting? Is he on Iona's staff? Are you trying to shoehorn a random other coach into it? Why not just hire a new coach who's ready to go without all that shenanigans? SO MUCH of that plan could go wrong, with so many variables. Make it make sense!
