Revisionist history. Not at all facts. Louisville and RicK Pitino won the NCAA championship. I watched the game.
Not according to the ncaa. I watched Memphis play in a final four but don’t count it. I’m consistent.
Guys on XM at lunch today said Will Wade next coach at Kentucky I nearly drove off the road.
If that happened...........
If that happened...........
No clown. I asked how many NBA PLAYERS. HE ANSWERED “4-5 pros”. “Pros” and NBA players are not the same, in case you did not realize how he changed the term. So it was him who changed the argument. The fact is there were 4 total NBA players. Not 5. Siva barely played at all. Smith similarly.
You need to get a clue. You will hear a collective heave from bbn in sean miller is even contacted. The man had so much talent at Arizona and did squat. Good grief
Exactly
He is NOT the same coach he was when he first arrived and he mostly certainly has done and or allowed things to happen under his watch that leaves a very bad taste
Also, even Calipari owned him
Hancock was an nba player before his injury. Took Pitino 9 future nba players to win his only title.
Surely you’re trolling and can’t be serious.
i need to wise up? You’re calling for a washed up, has been to retake the reins of the greatest basketball program in the country. AGAIN, 1996 Pitino and the game as it was THEN ain’t walking through that door. Once you get that through your head you’ll be a happier camper.
If they hire Pitino. I will never watch a UK game again. BD if possible or Jay Wright.
I’m so sorry, I really didn’t know that when somebody said “4 or 5” when the correct answer was 4 meant that person was just completely wrong and a clown.
But once again, the topic was about NBA players, and YOU changed it to 5* players.
I'm confused why y'all would be interested in Sean Miller. He had similar Round of 64 troubles Cal had in the last few years.
So you agree he needed at least 4 or 5 nba players for that game that doesn’t count? Thanks for that concession!
Agreed Miller had plenty of opportunities at Zona
He just doesn't seem like that good of a coach and I think had a loosing record this year
A lot would have to go wrong to have a Pitino return. I’d love to see it just for the wow factor but I don’t think he’s winning a ship anytime soon nor coaching for longer.
D. Hurley. Probably the best college coach in the game. Would he leave UConn? Only 1 way to find out. Not asking him would be Negligence.
N. Oates. If you can win at Bama, you can win big at UK. Fun style of play. Seems very motivated. Seems to have an appreciation for UK tradition. Has a huge buyout. But we don’t have to pay Cal’s buyout. Potentially, a great fit and maybe the best fit.
J Wright. Worth a phone call. I don’t see it happening, but he’s a great coach.
B Stevenson. The prevailing wisdom is that he’s not interested. However, this guy isn’t even 50 years old. It wouldn’t shock me if there wasn’t a hidden hunger to coach a championship team.
B. Pearl. Say what you want, but he can coach. He’s full of enthusiasm and energy. He’s a little on the old side, but still seems hungry. He would “crawl” to Lexington and he would be successful.
B. Donavan. When Pitino left, he would have been a good choice. Since then, he’s turned us down twice. He’s been away from the college game for a while. I’m not sure it would work. If that’s who we ended up with, I’d jump on board and be all in because what other choice would I have as a fan.
S Drew. I know he’s won a title, but I’m not sold on him being a good fit at UK. But, my final sentence about Billy D applies here as well
C Beard. Doesn’t excite me. Has some baggage, but he can coach. Same final thought as previous 2 mentions.
Pitino. Not a serious thought. Too old and way too much water under the bridge.
Maybe, there is someone I’m not thinking of that would be good. The Cal era had become such, that almost no one would be a down grade.

Mick Cronin was asked about the job. Said he was from Cincy and the UK job is like no other. Pete Thamel said that Donovan would be a home run hire but he is in a play in game and it would be a while for him.
Pitino if he had stayed would have had way more than 1 title. Pitino started with nothing and had Ky in championship game in 1996-1998. Pitino could coach, cal could recruit.
That’s the trophy the clowns on this board said he did not win. He has 2 and 2 Kentucky schools.Pitino burned that bridge long ago...
Nah, You said pros. 2 were barely NBA players at all, The others were role players. You are trying to use semantics and bullshite statistics to portray the Louisville team was loaded with NBA players. You wanted to capare it to Pitinos 96 team of superstars or Cals teams of freshman nba talents.There is a picture of the trophy above. 🤣
I'd take him over Shaka Smart and Sean Miller...as an example.
People like to compete for "THE Stupid Post" of 2024. Pitino will never get a look or even remote consideration. Where have you been???
I'd rather. Have Pitino over Drew

Are you one of those guys who in another thread would argue that '98 was not really Tubby's NCAA. Its Rick's. I think you have to span 96-98 to get 9 future NBA players, and that includes Tubby's.
That’s tubby’s title and the ‘98 team did not have 9 future nba players. The ‘96 team did. Even Rick has said publicly that he wouldn’t have won the title with the ‘98 team.
