If you had told his biggest fans 20 years ago that he'd fall all the way from the Knicks, Kentucky, the Celtics, and Louisville to...Iona, they'd have said you were crazy.

Remember when people were mad at Bo for talking about how a basketball coach would never make more than the football coach at U of M as part of his campaign to prevent Pitino from being hired in 2001? Seems like such a long time ago that folks were bitter about that during the Amaker years. Bo was right, though of course Pitino won a lot more games than Tommy.

hell, 2001?  there were people on this board that were throwing pitino's name to replace the obvious failure that was john beilein...it just wasn't happening fast enough for them.

never forget that there will always, always, always be assholes who are willing...no, who DEMAND wins instead of  principles and morals.  we see it here every time the football team loses a game.

iona is just the today's example.  a heretofore respected university decided to say 'fuck that' to their reputation and hired rick goddamned pitino.
