Pitino reveals second thoughts

[opi@unesco.org]

Here is an interesting snippet from Michael Holley's tough column:



To his credit, Pitino almost acknowledged his failure to PBS talk show
host Charlie Rose during a program that aired Wednesday night. Rose
asked Pitino if he ever had dreams or nightmares about Tim Duncan. This
is what followed:

Pitino: ''Not nightmares. I think more dreams. I think, if you said to
me today...''

Rose: ''Yeah?''

Pitino: ''... As much as I love going back to Boston ... If you said to
me today, `Would you leave Kentucky knowing that you would not get Tim
Duncan?' I  probably would say, `No, I would not leave Kentucky.' ...
Turning this thing around to the championship level without Duncan is
very difficult to imagine.''
