Al retired at 48 because he wanted to make some real money.  He thought Medalist was the way.  Turns out NBC Sports was.

Dont know that he made more money with NBC. He just wanted better hours and less corporate reins.

You start cashing those speaking engagement gigs that come with an NBC post and the money adds up.

I would enjoy seeing PC fans heads explode if Cooley went to Georgetown. Can you imagine losing your alma mater's arguably best coach (who stuck around for more than 2 years) to a conference rival....who has been the doormat of the conference for the better part of a decade?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

His son, Rick Pitino Jr, is an up and coming young head coach. I’m not quite sure the fit is great with Ricky junya over in NM. He’s an East coach kid with a lot of east coast ties thru his dad. He went to Providence. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Rick pushed for a sort of a package deal with his son at St John’s- senior coaches for 2-5 years and then paves the way for Jr to take the spot.
Not sure if StJ would be ok with this, if I was them I definitely would, and I’m not sure how it would be structured but I could definitely see it play out that way if they went the Rick way.

Is he though? He's been a head coach for 11 seasons already, and has been pretty mediocre in general.

Up and coming, he is not. Also, he's 40 years old, that's not young in coaching circles. At this point, he would be a retread hire for another power conference program.

Follow me on this one... and imagine the stories....

Cooley to Georgetown
Pitino Sr to St Johns
Pitino Jr to Providence

Unfortunately, I think the problem with Jr. is that the apple falls too far from the tree.

But how cool would the rivalries be if those moves took place?  A man can dream.

C'mon man, dis chit has less than 0% chance of goin' down. Da
Pitinos are flawed for a smorgasbord of reasons and Cooley has pontiff status at PC. Dream 'bout udder,  more important minutia, hey?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Nah. Philly’s a good place. I’d prefer to live in a little more variety of cities than just one for so long, but, good for him if that’s what he likes and wants. I can see why other schools and sports media would have frequent interest in him as a coach.

I've worked in Philadelphia a fair amount. The place might be nice, but the people suck.

I didn't say it was probable, just that it'd be fun.

Wojo a possibility for The Rambling Wreck?

[dgies9156]

It’s better than St. Louis.

Brother Sultan:

But St. Louis has better baseball, which makes up for an awful lot.

Wojo to GT. Need a coach there that can assure MU 2 easy wins every year.

We play Georgia Tech twice a year? Where have I been

I think his GT is Georgetown. (Which is really GU)

That would help because McDermott owns Shaka

Except he responded to and quoted a post specifically about Georgia Tech.

Wee willie knows ball.

If there is poetic justice in the world, this is it....

I wish no ill on Greg Gard. He's a good coach in a really bad position. But it's ironic that some are discussing replacing Wisconsin's head basketball coach while we're about to be a 2 or 3 seed in next week's NCAA.

Hail Shaka!!!

Oh, and there's no way Nate Oats is coming to Madison, so you crummy Road Killians better get that notion out of your head!

John Beilein?  Lol.  Big fan of him but he’s in his early 70’s. 

[ZiggysFryBoy]

STJ fires Mike anderson.

That's a more realistic choice for UW than Danny Sprinkle. FFS, they aren't firing Gard to hire the guy from Montana State who's never lived east of Bozeman.

They’ll get Brad Stevens anyway
