Nick Coffey (an angry little man who has both short man syndrome AND the typical tard fan inferiority complex) just called Rick Pitino “a bitter little bitch” on 790am lmfao. This after basically worshiping the man for years and treating him as the savior of UL basketball.

They are melting down and I love it. Say what you want about Matt Jones… he would never throw that kind of unprofessional tantrum on air.

 

[RunninRichie]

Reality is sitting in, that Rick only went to UL because he couldn't get the UK job again. They aren't taking it well.

 

[SemperFiCat]

If they don't like Rick, they should be mad at the school for offering him the job, not Rick.

They really are melting down. They were all begging for Jurich and Pitino to come back these last 6 years and now all the sudden it’s Rick’s fault and they shouldn’t have hired him at all.

 

[WeWant9]

All fanbases are fickle, but ul lives up to the nickname of little brother.

Gotta admit. It’s shocking to me that it’s been six years. Time goes by.

I think if there is a school that warrants a legitimate beef with Pitino being here and praising our program and university, it is St. Johns. If I were the AD at ST. Johns, I would want to whip his ass and then fire him. Pitino is not worth the drama. Imagine a recruit with St. Johns and Kentucky on their list. Pope just has to play the video.

This is bigger than St Johns.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Wait until someone informs them that Rick coached at Kentucky years before he ever thought of going to Louisville.
In what world is he stabbing them in the back? Such strange petty little people. I mean they are on their 3rd coach since Rick has been gone. Let it go.

 

[sk73]

This is bigger than St Johns.

Absolutely it is.
Pitino hasn't worked here in close to thirty years. You talk about Cal and how he disrespected our fans. You will never see Cal, or any opposing coach, give the fanbase the finger like Pitino did. Thats because Pitino is a prick.
Pitino works for SJU. How is it possible for him to recruit any player that we (UK) want? Play the video to any recruit he is after and, it's over.
As you can tell, I don't like the guy. This is not an argument with you just a difference of opinion. Enjoy the season. I hope we have a great one.

You don't like Rick because Calipari had beef with him. That's all this is. Rick flipped off a fan heckling him. In a moment of frustration, we're all human. Cal talked down to the fans for YEARS. Called us bennies, said the SECT doesn't matter etc etc. Rick left the program on a high note and with a loaded roster that won another title in 1998. Calipari tanked the program and bailed in the middle of the night to an SEC rival. Big difference.

Actually been a little longer I think it was 2017.

Everyone always says Pitino gave the “fanbase “ the finger. I would bet there was a fan giving him hell and saying god knows what (and I would have LOVED that) and the finger was directed at that dude.

Obviously ,you didn't see it. It was directed at the home crowd that was cheering after he had been ejected. He didn't have the nerve to look at the crowd, he gave an over the shoulder finger. The entire viewing audience saw it. Look man, love him all you want, it really doesn't matter now. I just personally don't care for the guy. Thats it.

 

[DraftCat]

I'm on record saying cancel the series.... I know others will disagree but I want Cincinnati, Indiana, Xavier, or Ohio St as a replacement.

Who said I love him. I despised him for years. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him, lol . And you’re right, I’ve only seen the photo.

I love the UofL game because it’s a classic in my area, IU, UofL, and UK are all big in southern Indiana.

I should have tuned into Louisville AM Monday, I didn’t even think about how butthurt they would be too.

To be fair, most things are bigger than St John’s.

No thank you. Add Indiana back and any of the others you want but that series must remain in my book. Little brother has earned its annual beat down.

Yep. Denny asked for it… tried to get the legislature to mandate it, when we couldn’t have cared less. They made their bed and they can lie in it for eternity.

I don't care about Pitino and Calipari having a problem. You seem to worship Pitino. I think he is a narcissistic prick. That is the big difference. It really is not worth further discussion. Go Cats.

I think we can all agree that Pitino has shown many times that he is a great coach. Like most coaches, he’s also had some not so great times. He’s had an amazing coaching career, and that’s about where his good qualities stop.

As a human being, he has done some disgusting things. Him giving one fan the finger is nothing in terms of what he has done. Would you want your 18 kid participating in the parties that happened in the dorms at UL? I'm not saying other people haven’t done similar, but he got caught, and that’s really just one instance. We probably know a small fraction of his antics and it is highly likely that what we don’t know is just as bad, maybe worse. He also coached at UL, our most hated rival, and while there, this board hated him. The longest thread in board history was about UL and Pitino hiring strippers for recruits and players. There wasn’t a person here that wasn’t overjoyed at what came to light. There was celebration about Pitino being involved and likely getting canned. Reading two pages of that thread and seeing the memes, the names he was called, the jokes, it will remind you real quick just how hated he was. This wasn’t that long ago.

I don’t mind him being here and fans celebrating his success in coaching. That’s about the extent that I would want him involved in the program and I think that it will be a long while before another appearance.

 

[IL Wildcat]

It's sad and pathetic, really. Yes, we all took our shots at Rick Pitino when he was at Louisville but that ship has sailed. I would totally get the hate if Rick had returned to UK, but he's been gone from Louisville for years now and he's at St John's. They should be happy for him, if they ever cared at all for the man. But let's be honest, the only reason they wanted him was because they knew it would irritate UK fans, so seeing Rick get emotional and UK fans applaud him and show him love absolutely infuriates them.

It really shows how small minded many in that group really are. I bet there are real fans (not Louisville media members) who are truly happy for Rick. You have to be an infant to react this way.

This whole board thought the same when he coached at UL. He was the most hated man discussed. I think most fans will end up celebrating Cal just as they did with Pitino. Cal hung a lot of banners and made UK the place to be again. I’m not upset he left and hope
MP has a ton of success here just as many of our other coaches have.

 

[BlueSince92]

Five years later on UL had the world at their feet
Success had been so easy for them
But don't forget it's Rick who put them where they were then
And Rick put them back down too ♫♪♪
