just a thought,

i don't see why people are saying that if the pitino "style" doesn't work
this year then he should pack his bags... it's not the "style."  from what
i saw last year and the year before they really didn't press all that
much.... when they did last year it was with that second unit and rarely
with the first.  and as i recall... they won games playing that style and
didn't lose any because of it.  they lost games because when the put they
1st unit out there... they couldn't 1) defend, 2) couldn't get into any
semblance of a halfcourt set and 3) rarely ran a good fast break.  the c's
didn't lose because of the pitino "style"... they lost for all the other
reasons.
