Are you going to answer the question I asked you? Or keep deflecting because you have no good answer?

Quote from: BM1090 on February 25, 2026, 02:54:17 PMAspire to be? No. But considering what Minnesota has always been and especially what they've been since he left, I think he did a pretty good job there. Gave New Mexico their first success since Steve Alford too.

If they think he's a guy that's had success despite bad coaching situations, I could see them making an offer. And I think he could have success similar to what Cooley had there.

Exactly.  Was he good at Minnesota?  Not really, but Minnesota has a whopping 5 NCAA appearances (and 2 first round wins) in the 25+ years since Clem Haskins.  Dan Monson didn't win there, Tubby Smith didn't.  Pitino winning an NCAA game there basically makes him the 2nd most successful Gopher coach this millenium.

But his rebound at New Mexico is what made him qualified for Xavier and, more so, Providence.  It's not a perennial winner of a job which made what Alford did even more impressive initially.  Fraschilla didn't make NCAAs there, Ritchie McKay had a single good year there with Danny Granger and got fired shortly thereafter.  The 8 years after Alford left had a single 20+ win season (with Alford's players the year after) and Pitino inherited a program that won 6 games the year before.  Getting them to a 26 win team in the NCAAs as an at large 3 years later was a hell of a coaching job and the reason he was a hot name again despite the Minnesota stumbles.

UCONN!!!

And? 

I liked season 1, but made only made it about two episodes into Season 2 because it was galactically dumb.

Quote from: Johnny B on February 21, 2026, 06:21:26 PM21-5 nova are such frauds. 20 point home loss.. a joke

Johnny posted "20 point loss."

When we play UCONN, I would go to the Hack-A-Reed.  I think it would drive Hurley crazy and he would brick a lot. 

UCONN 33 to 12 over St.J???

Quote from: rocky_warrior on February 24, 2026, 05:21:30 PMI'd like to get back to this (because it's interesting to me).  It seems obvious Pitino (Sr) would be the poacher.   Freshman potential to be paid/poached:  Acaden Lewis, Najai Hines, Jamier Jones, Nigel James Jr., even Stefan Vaaks

But maybe I'm wrong and Shaka is trying to get Najai Hines and Stefan Vaaks.

Shaka strikes me as a guy that does it the natural way. As someone mentioned on here before, he seems more anti-Vaaks to me.
