Im just saying I hope any true UK fan is thankful for the memories several of our coaches have brought us. No other school has that coaching tree except for us.
I mean if you want to twist it that way, be my guest. You show know what “spots” mean & it’s not coaching ability. & if you don’t know that, then I can’t help you.
I think what attracted Pitino to UK was the challenge of raising the program from the dead, and to see how quickly he could do it. I think he thought he could rebuild Boston.
Hard to blame rp going to Boston as coach and gm.
I hope that the BBM gives coach Pitino a rousing standing ovation. He's had nothing but positive things to say about UK since the hiring of Mark Pope. I can't imagine that any coach in the history of athletics is living with the regrets that Pitino is living with. Him knowing that if he would have stayed here that he would have 5/6/ maybe 7 national championships & over 1,200 wins. He would be to college basketball what Nick Saban is to college football. I've forgiven him for taking the Louisville job. I hope everyone else can as well.
Not sure what to tell you if you don’t think they are UKs main rival. Maybe it’s Baylor….
Maybe General Manager someday? Who knows, but he has a great basketball mind for Coach Pope to talk with for advice occasionally.
Right? What with the way college salaries have blown up he may well have made more. And on the other point, I would think you’d have to be practically blind not see he had no reason to be at Louisville other than trying to recreate what he had here. Truth is, bad as we hated him for going there, in a tragic way it was probably the biggest compliment he could have paid us.
I don’t think Pope would willingly step in a steaming pile of drama having never coached his first game here. He has been pretty clear he loves RP. I would assume his intentions are true and sincere, if it is the case he invited him.
The middle finger thing is so overblown. God forbid someone in the state of Kentucky give a middle finger. If you don’t know what was yelled at him first you might wanna investigate. I’m not fully supporting RP back but geez dude the middle finger thing from a New Yorker seems a bit overblown. I’m a UK fan through and through but you say something about my family for example you’ll get more than a finger. He definitely wasn’t professional but crying over a middle finger this many years later seems a bit 3rd grader.
