In response to besnoah
Yeah, I get that it's not internally consistent. I remember Pitino as the Providence coach from long ago - when he was the underdog. He is just undoubtedly a great teacher of basketball. Maybe one of the best from that standpoint. Kind of like Larry Brown, who I also liked a lot. Great coaches. Whether or not you want your kids to play for them, you can't deny them their brilliance.
I am not saying that Penn has to have the nicest program. I'm just saying that NCAA sports are so polluted that I'd rather have a well run and high integrity program for the athletes themselves than the corrupt mess that exists overall.
I do not think Pitino would or should be the next coach of Penn, although he would undoubtedly have a good chance of making it a winner. That's all he's done in his career. My overall point about all of this is that if the world is becoming a cess pool, get out of the pool and play a different game.
It is almost unimaginable that you are on the one hand insisting Penn fans should only care about running the world’s nicest program and on the other hand saying you like Rick Pitino.
