Pitino leaves Iona to become St. John's coach
Iona coach Rick Pitino has been named the new coach at St. John's.
It’s Official: Pitino to St. Johns
- Thread starter Woodsmoke
- Start date
I would’ve taken Pitino to UK on a six-year deal and let him finish his career here. Man could do some damage with the players Cow has faltered through the years.
Six years. My god the man will end up rolling up and down the sideline in a chair. Isn't he 70 already?
If he could recruit them. Which he can’t. I would still take a chance with who he could get and his coaching over Cal at this point though.
I'd have put down $1000 cash that Pitino would have never returned to Kentucky, even if Cal quit last week and Mitch said "bring him on".
Hey I am 77 and I can out work most young people today !
I'm sure you can! I just make a point that it seems crazy people keep working until they're nearly 80 these days. Especially people that could easily cash out now and relax.
I disagree. I think he would’ve came back to prove he could do what Cal couldn’t over the past 8 years.
I retired in 2009 and the secret is staying active.
He’ll do well there. It’ll be interesting to watch that develop.
I hope that isn't a colostomy bag.

Biggest mistake of pitino’s career - leaving UK - he would have won at least 3 more titles
Look forward to the 8/9 or 7/10 Kentucky/ St Johns game next March.
Gonna be a lot of closet st John fans on here.
Pitino will be dead before 6 years is up. He wouldn't last 6 months at UK at his age.
We need a younger guy. Like Oats but barnie would never hire him.

sure didn't take long for Pitino to jump from Iona "the place where he will end his career"
guy can't tell the truth but he is a good coach

He will get plenty of good players out of that New York City area.
He’s a great coach and you know it.
No doubt you can. My grandfather owned a car servicing business. He worked on them every day for 10 hours up until he was 90 years old. He may have kept it 95 degrees(I mention this only because I find it a common theme among my older relatives who all do the same thing) in his home in the middle of August here in Cincinnati, but the man knew nothing but work his entire life. Even had time to raise 8 successful children.

Well let be be the first out of the closet bandwagon St John’s fan. I’m definitely not talking about St. John Calipari either.
Im excited about this.
I got into UK bball mainly cause of the style we played under him.
It’s about time St Johns do something in basketball again

Just watched the 96 team against Cal's UMass team in 96 Final four, hell of a game not sure what happened to that Umass Coach but THAT is not the same coach here.
St John’s is my second favorite team, so I’m happy. I even made peace with them poking Kenny Walkers eyes years ago.
I’m excited and hope he rebuilds the brand.

I'm 70. Doing my best work ever. Love what I am doing. Young people want to listen and learn from me.
Spot on....gotta have a reason to get up in the mornings....other than to pee.
Will he wear ugly sweaters in homage to Louie Carnaseca, or will he still wear his expensive suits?
I doubt Pitino makes St. Johns a national power. Maybe a top 25 team but, not a scary program like UK was when he was here. He'll build SJ up a bit and turn it over to Richard. LOL!
As an aside, I heard Mike Anderson was suing SJ over his termination. They fired him with cause (not sure what the cause was) and he thinks they owe him $11 mil.

Those hypocritical pedos are already trying to steal Mike Andersons buyout.
Like all things religion, the higher ups approve making that money and nothing more.
