Ryan says this is Larry's last year coaching.

Ok, here is my wish:
Pitino has a good enough year as the coach to say "OK, I have turned the
team in the right direction, it's time for me to move on"
Then Bird comes in and coaches the C's to a title.

W/O mentioning Pitino, Ryan takes a couple of shots at his coaching style.
He mentions having a gaggle of asst. coaches, micro-coaching from the bench
(he uses Riley as his example)

(BTW/ I did not post the article because it will show up here 1/2 dozen
times anyway)
