Watch out for Travis Ford. I could also see Calipari if the money's right, which I'm sure it will be.

Pitino is the Steve Spurrier of basketball coaches. They are great as long as they have better talent. Put them in a place where all the talent is good and they suck. Spurrier in the NFL and Pitino in the NBA. Both rode out of town on a rail. Overated!


Yea coaches of the overall #1 seed in the tourney tend to suck. Good post.

True, but they have a signed "memo of understanding" that includes an unknown buyout amount.

When was the last time you saw a coach return to the place where he had a large amount of success at as its previous head coach.

He is guaranteed a buyout. Some absurd amount if they fire before next season. Think I heard 6 mil.

is he sucking at Louisville?


He has been there, what about 7-8 years. He has great talent there. He is a way better recruiter than a coach. The real test as a coach to me is playing with equal talent. He fails miserably here.

Louisville also had a pretty good basketball program for years before he showed up.

I think they tried that before they brought in Gillespie. Billy D wasn't interested then.

poop. I don't think that worked out too well for him did it. Didn't he come back from the Rams to SoCal? That was probably a step up!
