IU announced as soon as the lost in the B10 tourney they would not play in the NIT, ostensibly to focus on recruiting.   So, Pitino is not alone.

I believe you cannot turn down an NCAA invitation after McGuire's move. I do not know the NIT rules.

Trying to compare Pitino turning down the NIT to Al McGuire turning down the NCAA. Bit of a stretch to say the least.

Coaches/ADs turn down the NIT fairly often.

You can turn it down.  You just can't go to any other tournament instead.

Used to be a good way to keep practicing and gaining tournament experience for the following year.  Now with the portal all these teams will have so many different players it doesn’t matter.  Continuity is gone. 

The NIT would be advantageous for a school like MU that just misses the NCAA who does anticipate some continuity.

There are 5 other Big East teams playing in this year's NIT.
It would essentially be a home game for St. John's.
As a fan of MU, I would be very unhappy, if we turned down a bid.
It is a chance to get next year's players more experience. It also gives me more opportunity to watch my players play.

I think if you can guarantee continuation then by all means play and get more experience but if you're graduating a ton of players or expecting to run a bunch of guys of then hit the portal for upgrades then don't bother.

I had that experience as a senior in 1970 when Al turned down not an NIT, but a NCAA bid. The entire campus was in a somber mood. It was awful!

I remember in the Henry Ellenson year, Wojo and co. were *begging* to get in the NIT and still got snubbed.  Those were dark times.

Mike Deane tried to talk up making the NIT as an accomplishment that should be celebrated.  Luckily Father Wild and Bill Cords disagreed with him.

I don't care for Pitino, but he's got balls. He's proved that over and over on and off the court.

Just like his team this year, he is a quick finisher. Some say too quick, like at MU when he just gave up a bit too prematurely.
