Pitinos Bombinos

[nssdigitalchumps]

If Pitino had the talent UK did during those games, he would have been 17-0.

Are we playing the 'if' game now?

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Many people believe it.

How many?

Pitino, along with his staff, was so much better than Cal and his staff that it’s not even debatable. END OF CONVERSATION!!!

How did that UMASS v Kentucky game in the season opener of 96'? I know it's even with the final four, but the talent at UMASS v Kentucky was slightly out of wack.

Pitino is a master motivator and he always gets the best out of his players...he always knew when to press and when to trap halfcourt...He loved to play fast and basically was one of the first coaches to embrace the 3 pt shot.

The Pitino years were my most rewarding following the Cats...they meant more because the players were here 4 yrs and they had heart

Too bad the coach had no morals a real POS

Taking 3 different teams to the final four. No other coach has ever done that.

UMass, Memphis and UK. I am assuming you are joking.

OK, he's the only coach who's taken 3 different teams to the final four without having them vacated.

Man I miss those days...
Pitino is the GOAT college coach...
Wish we had him back....we would be pressing, trapping, hustling...bombing 3’s

...getting recruiting violations.

Calipari left UMass and Memphis on probation. He cheats. Like Lefty, he can get them but is not the best at coaching them. Pitino is known as a great floor coach and motivator, but lacks in moral judgement. I guess Joe B. Hall, Eddie Sutton and Tubby Smith should be in the conversation. How many different programs has Tubby taken to the NCAAs?

If you mean just to make it to the tounament, then five - Tusla, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Texas Tech

Pitino is in the NCAAT. UK and UofL are not.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

The argument that Cal is better than Pitino because of the head to head UK vs UL record is a red herring. When you put Pitino and UK together it is like putting raw uranium through the enrichment process. Things go nuclear.

Anyone that truly believes that Cal is a better in game coach and X and O guy than Pitino honestly need their head examined. How many times have we watched Cal get out coached the last 4 minutes of games? Hell, 10 times this year alone at least.

Exactly right. Pitino is far and away a much better X's and O's, and in game coach, than Cal ever thought about being.

Pitino is a scumbag, that's not debatable, but we're talking about coaching, not what kind of person either one is.

I want a coach that gets respect I was under Rupp was scared of him but still respect him today

I get that and fully understand. But, when RP was our coach he did get that respect, and then some. (Not so much now since it's become apparent he's a horrible person.)

That said, RP was/is a much better in game coach, IMO.
