Thomas,

I'm starting to see where you got yourself so confused.  You seem to somehow 
have read into my statements that all criticism of Pitino is based in a 
dislike of him, which is not true, and certainly not what I said.  I was 
responding to SPECIFIC INSTANCES of that happening, though.  I'll repeat 
this because you seem to have missed it the first few times I've said it; I 
myself feel that Pinito has done only a mediocre job so far, which is not 
good enough considering his salary.  I'd stop short of pressing the eject 
button at this stage, though.  I feel a lot better now.

As far as the devious trade scenerio goes, I don't actually think it's what 
happened, but I sort of wish it was.  Wouldn't it be nice to be the team 
pulling one over on someone again.  If it turned out it was true, it would 
actually enhance my opinion of Pitino.

Jim
