Re: Pitino list

Put me on the fence as for Pitino getting fired. My belief is he tinkered
with a team with a quality that couldn't fulfill his ambitions, and he
didn't recognize it soon enough and cost us some wins. I don't believe a
coach can make a team, other than rebuild one, but can hurt one. When
Forston and Pierce come back and we start winning it won't because of
Pitino's basketball intelligence but because of their ability.
