I know I shouldn't bother....but....Pitino said that he would leave if he
was unable to get the job done.  To produce a winning team like the fans
want and the owner wants.  He has stated on his show and on WEEI, aka, the
fellowship of the miserable, that it is his job, as coach, to get this team
to turn the corner, and so far, he has not succeeded.  You are far behind
the times on this one.  The Yankee/Celtic comparison is based on their
respective histories and fan expectations.

You?  Piling on?  Nah, you wouldn't kick someone when they were down!
