Pitino

Franks foot is in a cast if you look closely.

eagle eye

If Pitino wants to get back in the game as a freelance consultant, he'll do it in Minnesota with his son.

 

[Alsacs]

We are still on probation no chance in a million years the athletic department would let Pitino on the payroll.
No chance.
This is JB doing a friend a solid.

 

[orangecuse]

I'll offer this sentiment. Human beings and their nature is a very interesting and peculiar dynamic. It wasn't too long ago that so many folks spewed such vitriol at Tiger for his moral compass shortcomings. Watching this past weekend's Fed Ex Cup finale, was simply incredible on so many levels. Nothing more, than observing peoples reaction to Tiger's "resurrection." Good for JB in standing by a friend.

 

[moqui]

would not this guy near my program, he has zero integrity.

are you unaware of our program's history?

To be fair, there are NCAA violations and then there are hookers and cash

and then there's laurie fine

 

[UnknownOrange]

What are you people even discussing? Lol we don't have an assistant coaching job even open

 

[br801]

I mean having Pitino on the sideline would be amazing combination. It would be the perfect segway back into coaching.

Rick's segway back into coaching

 

[dasher]

and then there's laurie fine

The Syracuse basketball players can get almost any girl they want. Do you think they would waste their time with Laurie Fine? Yuck

 

[Orangezoo]

If Rick wants to be an advisor or be around the program I have no issue with it. It's not like he is going to have authority to do something that would hurt the program or having him around is a violation...

Pitino's visit sends a message: he can't hang around with his own team but he can hang around with SU's.
He's untouchable as a coach but he can contribute to this team.
It's not ok to lead a team in Louisville after your program has hired escorts and paid players and misused a public place's pool table but it's ok to help SU kickoff its season practice.

Boeheim's judgment is again questionable.
He may be showing personal loyalty to an old friend.
Fine. But personal loyalty is one thing.
Involving your team is another.
This implicitly says Pitino is ok...never mind his behavior.
It's especially glaring after SU just finished it's own period of sanctions.
Hard to believe the administration is happy about this.

And Pitino seems to be trying to resurrect himself with some new niche.
He needn't worry.
He'll be hired to do television soon.
That's business with even lower behavioral standards than sports.

I am glad you are not my freind!!!

The NCAA has a lot more to worry about this is silly. Pitino as an assistant is probably sillier but both thoughts are ridiculous.

Whew. It's been a long time since you had something to complain about. Glad we got this out of the way. This is a big nothing burger.

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Start the rumor now. Boeheim gave his blessing that Pitino will take over after he retires at the end on this season. (Unknown Issues?)

Dislike x 44.

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Top 25??? Way to go out on a limb Rick, pffff

But that is the healthiest he’s looked in awhile. Good PR for his brand to be seen with HOFCJB

 

[DNABB5]

If I"m not mistaken Red had Kentucky as a finalist during his recruiting, so they go way back. Pitino had just taken the job when he was a senior and they weren't allowed on TV. They got Mashburn out of NYC that same class.

My tape of the 2-12-94 UK @ Cuse game verifies this information RE: Autry recruiting.

Tony Delk had 30 Autry 27 IIRC

I respect Jim more than ever. You don't leave your friends even when times are tough. He's a loyal man and i love him for that. He has his faults for sure but I'll never give him crap for the olive branch to Rick Pitino.

Someone mentioned his son as the landing spot for Rick. There's zero chance that would happen. He's on his own hot seat. Boeheim is firmly in the "i don't give an F" period of his career. He's not gonna let optics rule what he does.

 

[SUfanNC]

I heard Pitino on xm yesterday. He said he is done with coaching. He mentioned also going around to "teams" and evaluating and doing pep talks and motivational speaking to teams.

[cliftonparksufan]

This is pretty funny. I am sure Pitino will surface somewhere on TV.

I just saw on tv that unemployment rate was at a 50 year low. Really?? Sure feels a lot higher at my house

 

[LAOrange]

Pitino and I have one thing in common. Neither of us will ever make the Supreme Court.

Amazing!!! Someone who actually gets it.

And yet, JB delivers a straight-forward assessment of the upcoming season at Media Day and what do we read on here? It's "coach speak".

We are so used to being "spun" that we don't recognize a truthful assessment from someone when we get it.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Random question...has anyone heard of pretty Ricky being in town tonight and meeting up with JB for some Italian? (Yes this is a real question) I heard something but didnt want to spread false information so just wanted to see if anyone else has heard anything?
