Pitino Bandwagon

["Uncle Odie" <ttfn11@hotmail.com>]

<<I am not making a federal case out of Pitino's moves. It seems to me 
like everyone else is. I am merely treating RP the way I would any 
new coach: with both skepticism and optimism. As for your implication 
that I am some kind of bandwagon fan, I resent that whole-heartedly. 
I supported the Pitino from the get-go. My point is precisely that 
it seems that too many people are blindly jumping on the Pitino 
bandwagon. I don't think any real fan ever 'jumps on a bandwagon' and 
that indicates what I think of your implicit acknowledgement that 
you have jumped on the bandwagon.

Mike, I AM on the Pitino bandwagon & have been there since his run with 
Providence in 1986.  People doubted his style could adapt to pro ball, 
but he showed that it could with the Knicks.  People thought he would 
fail since UK lost all of those players due to being put on probation.  
They had some bumps early (like our Celts are), but WON MUCH EARLIER 
THAN ANYONE EXPECTED.  I do not consider it to be going out on limb when 
I say that the same will happen here.  Just like my father told me "When 
you always do what you always do - you always get what you always get."

BTW, I thought that you had a cogent explanation of your views.
