Rick Pitino’s Greatness

[bignish]

Rick is a top 5 Xs & O’s coach of all time imo. Even as a Duke fan I’m amazed by this guy’s ability to maximize his team’s talents.

I’m really hoping Duke avoids St. John’s in the tourney.

I think Rick is a top 5 coach period, he knows how to win.

If Pitino stayed at UK, there is no doubt in my mind that he wins 3-5 championships, no doubt.

Bet he regrets the move to the Celtics everyday...

And……he’ll just bend a waitress over a table whenever he takes the notion & have his way with her.

No coach could take your fanbase long enough to win too much, you guys can be insufferable. Yall were a 3 seed last year and ran one of the top two all time coaches at Kentucky away. There’s even a lot of negativity lately about Pope, and imo he’s done better than most expected.

True, but some are way more than others.

He's said numerous times, that Kentucky was his Camelot. He knows he messed up leaving.

On the plus side, he tore UofL down on his way out of there.

Creighton just beat Marquette and they face UConn next. After that, St. John’s…

He had it going on at UK but got the big head and thought his style of play would work in the NBA.

Had he stayed at UK he would of had at least 2 more titles, helll if he coached that 2015 squad he wouldn’t of did what Cal did.
