Pitino is not thinking of his motivational skills, but his scheduling skills. He already has a player like Moiso in Tony Battie. Now if he can schedule Moiso to play great when Battie is not playing well and conversely..he is done. - Mishra

You're right David...he can be an impressive, athletic, sometimes
dominating player. But....this team needs a sure thing, a sure bet, a
player who has shown the ability to bring "something" every night. And I
know Pitino thinks of himself as a superb motivator, but that record over
the last few years, I think, has proven him wrong. Moiso could surprise
everybody and be the player you and I both saw on his good nights. He's
awfully quick and I think he really gives players fits. I think he can
play. I just think he lacks the mental toughness to help this team over 82
games. But if I'm wrong....
