Like Iona? At the bare minimum after a year or two under Pitino we would no longer be the laughingstock we have become.

It’s not clear in 2017 that Korn Ferry did much. So I would say the significance isn’t that they hired this specific firm but rather that they hired anybody at all. Which raises the question of why they don’t get it over with and fire Ewing. Enough. I hope Turnkey’s list of potential coaches names Pitino as the first ten entries on the potential coach list. Perhaps they gamed out what the reaction might be if they went back to the same search firm.

It is said that we have hired Turnkey ZRG for the search, FWIW. Looked ‘em up; not blown away.

If Lee Reed makes the announcement let’s hope it is emblematic of his being intimately involved in the search for/hiring of the next coach. He was not there for the takeoff. He should not be asked by those who were to manage the crash landing.

Why on earth would you lock in Cooley when Pitino is who everyone wants and supposedly wants to come here. Hmmmm, I wonder.

Pretty much everybody cares about Ronny. And every single one wants him gone.

Something seems odd at Providence. I wonder if Cooley has actually been thinking of leaving. Still prefer Pitino, but gladly would take Cooley over any other option we’d have. Wouldn’t want someone who has given up on his team because he’s already going to another team a la Bill Freider. Pitino would not do that. One of the best stories ever. It’s 1989. Michigan, coached by Bill Frieder, is a 3 seed. Just before the tournament starts Frieder let’s it be known that he will be moving on to coach Arizona State next year. Not so fast, my friend (or maybe faster). Athletic Director and legendary football coach Bo Schembechler, evidently unconcerned about what it might mean for the Wolverines’ tournament prospects, cans Frieder on the spot saying something close to “Michigan’s not going to be coached by someone from Arizona St. A Michigan man will coach Michigan”. Assistant coach Steve Fisher is handed the reins and what happens? Michigan reels off 6 straight and wins the National Championship.

When all else fails there’s Schadenfreude. Nova misses the tournament.

Iona gets the W at Rider; finish the regular season on an 11 game win streak.

If we get Pitino, we will be above 10-10 in league and make the NCAAs in year one. Players will come and he will use the portal. Plus, he can coach. 100%

Terrific win 13-10 on the road vs. #5 Princeton this afternoon. Hoyas looked like a different team. To a man they played better and with more energy than they have all year. Scharfenberger provided a desperately needed spark in the cage; very active, great outlets and saved at a 60% clip.

He stunk from the get go. In his first year (at Creighton?) , down a point or two we gave a foul rather than play defense with way more than shot clock time left. Clueless.

Pitino would not talk to them if he had no intentions of accepting the job. To say the least Georgetown has already demonstrated a willingness to pay more than market value. If he does talk to them and is not hired draw your own conclusions.

Gosh. Then I guess Ronny should go too.

English Premier League soccer is fun to watch. I’m getting there. No Under 16, Under 12, Under 8, or Under 4 timeouts. Matter of fact, no timeouts at all. Only advertising is on the unis.
