You have a decent point.  However, please remember that my objection 
stems from the statement that RP "does not know how to run a pro 
offense."

If I would criticize (my president, senator, school committee)by  saying 
that they do not know what they are doing, then you would be right.  If 
I criticize my local school committee (were you at this meeting?) 
because they want to switch to "Outcomes Based Education", (which I 
oppose) then your point would not be valid.

The bottom line is that I am *not* saying that we can't disagee, but 
that if someone makes an outlandish statement (Pitino does not know 
anything about pro offense), they are opening themselves up for 
criticism or sarcastic posts.  As for myself, I will, from time to time 
make posts which people object to.  I welcome all contrary opinions.
