per FSN:
It's easy to see why the 31-year-old Pitino needed little time to connect with his roster of players. While the Gophers' previous coach, Tubby Smith, was old enough to be their father, Pitino is old enough to be their big brother -- or maybe even their good friend.
"He's a real cool guy," said senior guard Maverick Ahanmisi. "I wouldn't mind hanging out with him."
"He's 31, so he's not that much older than us," said junior guard Andre Hollins. "It's good to have a coach that can relate to you."
