Realistically, this kind of decision that does require one to work through it with themselves and their family. A little hesitancy doesn't mean that he doesn't want it at all. We shall see.
That story wouldn't surprise me one bit based on an event that I personally know of. Jock was coaching Lafayette in 1976. My school ... Elizabethtown ... was whipping up on his team pretty good in Lexington one night. Jock actually got up off the Lafayette bench and came up and sat and talked...
Hey, KW, good to see you again. Hope you're doing well. I've slowed down a whole lot on the boards lately. Great times from the past however. All of us are just good solid UK fans. Go Big Blue!
P.S. You still give Tubby way too much credit. ;)
It 100% cuts Pitino to the quick that he hasn't been able to control the media on this issue. The main thing he did in that press conference was to lash out at just about everyone who has had the "audacity" to report and opine on the situation based on what is known at this time. That defines...
Put him in the boondocks of the basketball world (Lubbock, TX) away from any inquiring eyes and pressure and he can succeed reasonably well against no name teams. His team won't compete well in the conference, though, and they'll be lucky to make NIT.
If he dodged the general media but then talked to Valvano for the radio, then he really should be blasted. Rick only wants to be in controlled media environments. UL has demanded that in that market and the media has let him get away with it time after time.

I am guessing that they will be getting a report on the prelimary findings of the investigation that has been going on since the end of August. Board almost has to be informed and "sign off" on that report before it goes to the NCAA.
Seems to me that the President's statement today was meant to separate himself and Jurich from whatever went on. I kind of feel sorry for Pitino because I doubt that he knew the details of what was going on. Yet, it seems that President Ramsey is much more than willing to make him and McGee the...
Man, I've had a terrible day.
But this news made everything SO MUCH BETTER. Look what happens when you sell your soul to the devil and have men like Pitino and Petrino leading your programs. The slime trickles down.
Williams played on a Duke team that choked a game away in the tournament. His pick and feelings that UK will do the same is his own way of trying to diminish his own team's failure.
