Pitino/Griffin = Vermeil/Warner

["Tim Lynch" <timmer96@mindspring.com>]

Two coaches who were out of the pro game for a while and have had only
inconsistent signs of success after their much ballyhooed returns and were
feeling the heat from the fans and the media.

Two journeymen who had spent years bouncing around various lower leagues
before becoming a big time spark for their new teams.

Like the Rams and Warner in the NFL, the Celtics and Griffin will be the
surprise stories of the NBA this year.
