Pitino so Happy…Cal miserable

[FurdTerguson]

I never understood the anger about him flipping a bird. When you yell insults and/or obscenities at someone what do you expect?

 

[Glenn's take]

He only laughs when he is condescending

That's not true. I've seen him not laughing before. I've never seen him not condescending.

Cal can coach for one game. It's up to his players to do everything else. If Arkansas beats KU, the players have to win the next round on their own. If they have the right path, they can make it to the elite 8. If Cal has to coach 2x in a weekend for 3 weeks straight fuggeddaboutit

If he hadn't left we'd passed the Celtics titles.

If he wasn't already out the door, we'd have beaten AZ in 97.

It is amazing to me that this guy left, went to Louisville, flipped off UK, everyone hated him, and then he has success so everyone decides they like him again. A bunch of bitches. He cussed UK. While he said he shouldn't have left, he has a UL tattoo. Everyone hated him on here, now everyone loves him. I swear.

Yeah. I don't get it either, but there's a lot of "wish I was getting back together with the ex" kinda vibes around here.

Bros, to come back just in life in general after he had to admit he only lasted 15 seconds (and I'm not making fun of him, as in March 24th 1998 at 13 years old I did the same thing) and to not only come back from that, squirting to the ceiling and paying a player is remarkable. Turned Iona into a tournament team his second year and now has St. John's as a very dangerous 2 seed in his second year is incredible! He's an incredible tournament coach too. His only sweet 16 loss was to us in 2014. He was 11-0 before that game and it led to the greatest Internet meltdown I've ever seen. IYKYK.

I actually think Cal is a better person. Pitino is a sociopath. Cal was the better coach proven by his 8-1 record vs Pitino at UK but he became consumed by his "ending generational poverty" instead of adapting to the game's changes.

Pitino has rediscovered himself. Good for him. But he's still that guy who would glare at you if you approached him with your kid.

As a kid who approached Pitino, I do not concur.

I'd rather be flipped off then talked down to in a condescending tone and gaslighted about my basketball knowledge.
