Pitino

["FRANK SINATRA: CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD" <diazj@merrimack.edu>]

I can't remember who wrote about Pitino being able to fill the seats but 
they were very right.  Also, someone else pointed out that Pitino one 
the Atlantic division in his first year with the Knicks.  He knows how
to implement an up tempo style to any team.  He is a bonafide capable
NBA coach.  He wanted near-total control with the Nets who wanted him
but the Nets did not want to give him ownership share which John Calipari
did not crave.  Give Pitino a break because soon he will look for a new
challenge and also prove himself as a great coach (next season, probably).
