The Exodus from Pitt begins...

[pfister1]

They want to leave because Stallings is leaving? You would think they would be celebrating that Stallings got fired.

How does the Pitt AD still have a job ?

He doesn't. He was replaced with Heather Lyke, who people think highly of.

Maybe they were better off keeping Dixon.

That's quite obvious. I was shocked when they were nudging him out the door.

I get it they were tired of flaming out on the tourney needed a new voice. Stallings was an epic mistake.

Stewart told ESPN his primary reason for leaving was the firing of Kevin Stallings.

"We had a tough year, but most of the team was freshmen and we felt like we'd have a chance to improve next year," Stewart told ESPN. "We liked Coach Stallings. He was a great guy as a person and he treated us well."

Very smart ...what's he going to say when he's looking for transfer offers? "We all hated him and he was a terrible basketball coach?"

Fair enough, I guess. Or are we becoming too cynical?

Another parent speaking for his “child” who is probably like 20 years old.

That was odd. In addition to the whole message being unnecessary, I am bothered by the word tedious. Seems completely out of place in the context of what is being said here. Oh well, they chose to go to Pitt and now they want sympathy I guess. No soup for you!

That's because the tweet from Rothstein be deleted.

Shamiel Stevenson has re-committed to Pitt under new head coach Jeff Capel. Initially intended to transfer.

With that said, Stallings was the reason he went to Pitt to begin with. He was an Ole Miss commit before Stallings convinced him to head to Western PA.
