A teammate of my son is going to St. John's next year to play lacrosse.  His recruiting class had their "official" visit to the school last weekend.

The kid's dad told me that Pitino met with the lax commit class, told them how he wanted the school to build a strong program, and told them that if they ever need anything from him... resources, money, etc... he's there to make it happen.  Then he invited them to a hoops practice.

The dad said Pitino wears a headset mic at practice and moves around the gym, from up top in the bleachers to the floor, barking things at players throughout that are blasted across the PA system.  Said it was very intense.

I have no respect for Pitino, but it's hard not to be envious of how he's running that program.  Is Red that engaged with the rest of the SU athletics community?  Is he hustling for resources and money constantly?  Are his practices that intense?

I hope the answer is yes to all, but I'm skeptical.
