Bring back Pitino!

[Louis_Skunt]

Not little Pitino, he's awful. I'm talking about the best coach in the country. The one thats available. He'd put this program back on track and take us out of the depths.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

He's already had to do it once but I think he's at the end of his career and this job needs a more younger and hungrier coach to get it done that can evolve with the ever changing times!

 

[RunninRichie]

the best troll on this board is OP.

 

[cawoodsct]

The Pitino and Reed Sheppard package deal?

i disagree.

The crypt keeper is not walking thru that door.

He'd still beat anyone in the country at a top program.

OP’s tenth bring back Pitino thread. First several were facetious as he thought the Cal criticism was not warranted. Now playing it off as parody.

 

[westerncat]

Boy you would see UL heads explode if he came back here.

The OP is trying to be a smart *** troll, but I'd wager Pitino wouldn't be sitting at 5-12 with this team. And no, I am not advocating for Pitino.

Bring in Phil Jackson to be his assistant.

 

[RKulmer]

He's the only one that Dickie V would approve.

Except for the one currently captaining the shipwreck at UK.

Another coach that requires superior talent to win.

 

[glassmanJ]

Another coach that requires superior talent to win.

every winning coach has superior talent, name a title team that didn't have hall of famers. and phil did it 11x and onyl 3 team had a hall of famer center, shaq. phil won with bill cartwright and bill wennington at center. that's coaching

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Yes he had a great run against Cal while at loservile.

How about NOOOOO, hell NOOOO

 

[NoDef]

Both Phil Jackson and Pitino play outdated basketball just like Cal. Nobody is running a triangle offense and nobody is trying to hack and grab their way to victory anymore. One tightly officiated game and Pitino teams are going home.

As odd as it is to say- Rick isn’t leaving Iona. He is working for his buddy and loves the job. He will turn Iona into an annual tourney team.

 

[CELTICAT]

As odd as it is to say- Rick isn’t leaving Iona. He is working for his buddy and loves the job. He will turn Iona into an annual tourney team.

At this rate, Rick will make the sweet 16 with Iona before Cal gets back there at Kentucky.

 

[Drcats2025]

-5% chance it happens and you’re obviously joking, but I’d take it. He’s 68. Realistically has 6-7 years left. Let him come back and get us rolling, then replace with with a young stud.

 

[Bluetick2100]

Pearl > Pitino

Bump

 

[toll_booth_guru]

Is Richie offf probation yet or on work release? If he’s able to leave the state for away games then that might be worth pursuing.

 

[John Henry]

Not little Pitino, he's awful. I'm talking about the best coach in the country. The one thats available. He'd put this program back on track and take us out of the depths.

Why would he come back to Kentucky? He has his dream job at Iona. He is among New Yorkers, his kind of people and they cook good Italian food. Pitino is happy now and would not risk that at his age by coming back to UK.

 

[warrior-cat]

Pearl > Pitino

Now? Yes. Before Pitino died? No.

Head to head in best years for both? Pitino hands down.

No, I don't want Pitino back. He took a chance did great and then made a mistake and moved on. Blame him? No, the money was ridiculous but, had he stayed at UK he would have been legendary.

 

[Shlomo]

Yes he had a great run against Cal while at loservile.

To be fair he never had the talent at Louisiville as Calipari has had at UK.

He has got baggage, but a winning strategy.

 

[Deacon Jim]

Bite your tongue. I`d bring Billy Clyde back first.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

90's Pitino is gone forever.

You can't use the word fair in the same paragraph with the name peeteeno.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

90's Pitino is gone forever.

Sure seemed to do ok at UL with crappy facilities and brand.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

Pearl > Pitino

You cant be serious. Pitino would mop the floor with a Pearl led team on even grounds. Pearl is a great motivator but doesn't understand the game like Pitino.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

As odd as it is to say- Rick isn’t leaving Iona. He is working for his buddy and loves the job. He will turn Iona into an annual tourney team.

He'd leave that place in 1 phone call if a big name came a calling.

 

[ZakkW]

Yes he had a great run against Cal while at loservile.

What was his record at UK when coaching v. Calipari

 

[blackcat714]

Say Rick win a championship before Cals wins another one

 

[RunninRichie]

HARR ‘TINO!

 

[kennyskywalker34]

At this rate Spitino may have Iona in sweet 16 before Cal gets back to the ncaa tournament.
