He has not shown the ability to: develop players, secure the state’s top talent, develop a culture, manage in game adjustments.
How can we lose talent to Wisconsin?! That’s frustrating. I can see losing to Duke, other blue bloods....not Wisconsin.
Pitino needs to coach better and make in game adjustments. No pressing, no zone defense ever. You don’t beat Wisconsin in Madison in a half court game.
Officiating is really hard, I did it for 10 years at high school level. The bigger the players, the harder it is because your view gets blocked.
Yesterday’s officials were bad. Davison is a cheap shot and flopper. Refs should know that going in.
Any coach would know and do this: 1) put in a zone when getting beat in paint, 2) press when you can’t shoot to create easy baskets.
This is 7th grade level coaching. Ricky can’t coach, it’s that simple.
