Pitino to Xavier

[PJDunn]

My guess is that Nova has some insight into Buzz's moral compass, and thus that conversation is probably a non-starter.

But he sweeps the corners of the gym!

Now L'il Richie can get tips about every BEast team from Pops.

Fanta on Xavier audio piece brought up Buzz having interest. Mind-blowing.

Buzz to Maryland when Willard leaves for Nova

[MU82]

You gotta love that Willard can't wait to bolt a B18G team to get to the Big East.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There were reports Xavier was targeting him so I was assuming the statement he released about staying at Charleston was him turning them down. 

Nvm, others beat me to it

Pitino at Minn.. the year prior, the team made the tourney. Tubby had to go because of multiple issues. So, in comes Pitino. His first year most of the starting lineup was returnees, and largely multiple year guys.. think Andre and Austin Hollins, no relation. Junior bigs Mo Walker and Elliott Eliason manned the middle, etc. Pretty good situation for an incoming coach, and won the NIT (hang a banner!).

By year 3 it's his guys. They go 8-23; 2 wins in the Big Ten. One of the worst shooting teams known to man. Just brutal. He wound up going to the tourney twice (would not have in 2020 - sub .500 team). Half of his seasons at Minnesota were sub-500, after being above in his first two years it was 2 over .500, 4 under. Had exactly one year at .500 or better in the Big Ten.

At New Mexico, no dancing in years 1 and 2. A year ago they (probably) needed to win the conference tourney to make the dance. Credit for doing so, but this was a team that started off 18-3 (6-2) before crapping the bed to a 10-8 conference finish (ugh, guess we can't talk).

This year went well with an exeperienced, tall group that was good enough for #75 best in KP Adj OE :/. 

Pitino's best eFG% team was ranked #60 in the nation and that was a decade ago.

With that I say: Good luck, X. You're gonna need it.

People also gain experience.
Guess you could also say that about Rick Majerus while at MU.
In any case, will be fun going up against the two headed Pitino's next year.

Our Xavier grad Daughter, her Xavier grad Cintas working husband and Xavier athletics department working mother in law seemed bummed about losing Miller but seem happier after landing Pitino.

It is nothing compared to last year's carousel.

Surprised Scott Drew isn't involved.  He's always got his hand out looking for a fat raise

He needs to pray about it first

I'm sure he's already prayed to his agent

You probably also consider colonoscopies and root canals as fun. 

Slick Rick will help his son game plan against the other 9 teams so the Pitinos can lock up the first 2 BE spots. I can hardly wait!

Don't worry, Willard is coming back so we're all just playing for second place.

So maybe MU team with Hurley for UCONN and MU to alternate 1st and 2nd in Big East yearly.

[Billy Hoyle]

We need another BE school to hire Bobby Hurley so we have two Pitinos and two Hurleys. Seton Hall, I'm looking at you.

I think DePaul tried once, but they low-balled him, so he went to ASU.

Yep. Lowballed him and Dennis Gates. They may have dodged a bullet with Bobby

I hope MD thought to themselves, "who is always up to have their name in a coaching search?" and immediately went to Buzz.
