Was Pitino a great developer of players at UK, or did he just train players to be better in his system? Did his "development" of guys play out in the NBA? I'm not sure a lot of NBA front offices/analyst thought that.
Lol. This is the bottom line problem with cal. He develops them for the nba not to fit our system at UK. Do we want draft picks or friggin titles??? I take zero pride in the fact we have a bunch of guys in the nba especially the ones who’s talent was squandered while at UK. Idc about the nba and the coaches winning titles recently don’t seem to care either

I agree that what matters to me is UK. I'm not a big NBA fan. But I'm just making the point that I would question the statement that Pitino was a great developer of talent, as opposed to getting players better at running his system. He was a system coach at UK more than anything else. That's fine. All that matters for me is winning and bringing enjoyment to the fans. But I can say I enjoyed many of those Pitino teams and many of the aspects of the system he ran and still be honest about what I thought his strengths and weaknesses were.

Who cares about the NBA? We are talking about UK college basketball. I realize that some players come here because Cal promises to help them to the NBA. But there are other extremely talented college players.

I like the idea of Pitino. Every coach has issues. And for the record, I'm really exhausted about the rehashing of the hookers issue. Yeah it was bad, but he is a great in game coach. In that regard, a lot better than Cal.

There is no way, or any scenario, in which Rick Pitino is the head coach at UK again.

You said Katina isn't beautiful in your last post, I don't get the sarcasm, bc I truly don't think she's beautiful
Just having some fun. I am surprised anyone slept with her for free, much less paid for it. Boggles my mind for sure.

We just need some change, thats all.

I dont care if its a new coach or not.. Everybody needs that positive winning program to do well.

It kinda figures with last years team, that this year's team would miss the mark.
How about Jim Boheim? Would he work? Let’s see if we can get him on the phone and tell him we paying $9 mil for him to come set his 2-3 zone up In Lexington and bring Buddy and the other one and come own down. Give his *** a lifetime contract and all the buyout money ya want since he b dead by Christmas. 😂 He’d b fun to listen to his *** whine for a year anyways to the fans. Fans be callin up asking is Reed gon play tonight.. Reeds better than Buddy...
