You know that Reusse or Barreiro is going to run with this and give him a nickname like "Resume Padder" even if it's nothing. Great.

drscottkelly, I'm really glad you feel it important to have included "dr" in your GH username. That screams of someone very insecure and needing validation of a degree to hide other short comings in your life. And we already have two doctors on GH, Doc1001 and Dr. Don and they aren't so insecure that they need to tattle tale to newspapers, web sites and University's. And trust us, we all know that your friends and colleague's don't even think twice about your resume. Dear lord.

It is important. We've earned it!:D

Listen, I could care less about what any of you all say about me or my character. I have a PhD in Economics and have been out of coaching for two years after 6 as a Division 2 assistant while also being a full-time college professor. I have absolutely nothing to do with Louisville, Florida, FIU, etc.

I initially contacted the University of Minnesota directly to get this corrected, and they still have yet to respond in any way to me directly. So then others became involved.

Press releases came out 2 days ago saying Pitino was an Administrative Assistant for 2004-2005 at the College of Charleston. I WAS. Pitino came on board in August 2005 (best case), and by best estimates he stayed a couple months. That is the 2005-2006 season, but he left shortly thereafter to go with Ron Everhart to Northeastern and apparently wanted to claim his brief stay at Charleston. However, on his resume that has been acquired, he has been saying and claiming that he was the Administrative Assistant there that 04-05 season, including the 18-10 record. It started at Duquesne and has continued on to now at Minnesota. Whats the difference between that and George O'Leary stretching taking a few master's degree classes and actually having a masters degree?

When those releases came out, I had coaching friends accusing me of being a liar on my resume, since there is no way that the Pitino name would be a liar, and he had Louisville, Florida, FIU, and now Minnesota saying he was right. I may no longer be in coaching, but I still have pride in Pitino doing what amounts to plagiarizing my job and stuff. Yes he did not need it because he could ride his dad's name, but he still did it, and it's been involved in his bios since about how he worked his way up from the ground to get it. That is my motivation and level of agitation about this, and why I am pushing it like this. I will also lose lifelong coaching friends over it, since they are also being contacted now to fact-check everything. I am not bitter about anything. I am upset that Pitino has again done "professional plagiarism", and now people are attempting to call me out on my resume/career because of his lies.

Through the Star Tribune, Minnesota/Pitino have already put out a few things that they have been called out on, and they keep backtracking and blaming someone else. No one has fact checked or called him out on it until now. In my opinion, no one bothered fact-checking his resume and it kept going as the Gospel truth, a la George O'Leary. Now there is someone who is calling and fact-checking everything. This has more than legs and is going to be out more soon.

I have already sent others stacks of links and photocopies of documents to 100% prove everything I have said. I'm not a liar, I'm not irrational, and I'm not some loon. I'm a hard-working former coach who is beyond upset that someone has been claiming my job and my work his entire career, i.e. professional plagiarism. I have nothing to gain from this. If anything, I will lose more because I will undoubtedly lose a couple of my coaching friends who will see me as a snitch. However, there are more important things than that, such as pride, honesty, and someone not stealing your work and accomplishments.

Awesome!!!! Reminds me of The Science Guy. I am a doctor.... of science!

Pretty high falutin' board we have here with everyone throwing about their doctorates, when and where they graduated law school, etc. I proud to be in such esteemed company. This must be what it feels like to be an alum from the University of the South.
 




It's time to come clean: I am NOT a schnauzer.

I hope Mr. Dr. Sir Francis Dread Scott Key III continues to post in this thread because if he does, I see potential for another Shaka Smart classic.

Oh and by the way, I hear Shaka claims he has hair on his head, on his resume.
 




I actually don't bleed Gopher. I bleed blood like the rest of us immortals.

Go Gophers!!

Hey, he had some hair on his head from that picture where he was eating with the kiddies at the VCU cafe

For anyone who cares: http://www.startribune.com/printarticle/?id=201616911

I received this response from Herrion on Friday morning: "Richard was my Director of basketball in an official capacity for a few months before he left for a coaching position @ Northeastern. There should be no doubt about Richard's membership on my staff albeit for a short period of time.''

Personally, I'm excited to see how Richard Pitino will lead this program.
 

We should all be proud of what we have done and stand up for what we believe in. A message board may not be the right place to air our issues but sometimes people just want to be recognized for what they have accomplished. For Scott that is his time as an assistant college coach that someone else is claiming as their work. How would you feel after you put your heart and soul into your job for someone else to take the credit and advance in your field? I am sure you would be mad and try to convince the boss it was your work. That is all he is trying to do. He got his doctorate after many years of hard work at University of South Carolina (how about reading a little more than a joke about klingon) and sacrificed time with family to try to get into coaching. Scott is a good man who tries to take help his friends, students and family and is a good uncle. He has even volunteered his time to help at kids basketball camps around the country. However, he has struggled to get where he is and to have a bunch of people degrade him for wanting the recognition he deserves instead of allowing someone else to take the credit is wrong. How about a little understanding instead of making a joke out of someone who has worked hard to get where they are and didn't have it given to them instead of automatically supporting someone just cause they got hired as a coach somewhere. I know some troll will have a dumb comment about what I have posted so I will go ahead and tell you, yes I am his brother. I have seen him struggle and drive from one side of the state to the other for coaching opportunities. If everyone of you worked and tried as hard as he has in your chosen field then you can cast a stone. I am just saying give credit where credit is due.
 


It appears it was already addressed and will be corrected. See the post above yours.

This is all well and good. And I appreciate that whoever this guy is wants to be recognized for the hard work he has put in, but here's the thing: Why try to provoke Gopher fans and the media with his all these years later? If he has been successful and is a good man, like you say he is, why can't he just let what he is speak for itself? He is clearly severely butthurt about all of this; otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to start an issue. Just let him do his thing, let Richard Pitino do his thing, and let whatever the future holds play out.

Have I been wronged (or at least felt that I have been wronged) professionally over the years? Of course. I'd be surprised if most people on this board haven't been at one time or another. But the difference is you don't see most of these folks actively trying to discredit somebody almost a decade later because of what may or may not have been a minor incident from almost a decade ago. If what he claims happened actually did happen, then fine. But this goes way beyond that. This is apparently some kind of vendetta and as a result, everyone here is going to respond with "nobody cares about you or your issue."
 

Who cares.....

Let's be honest here. The most important or impressive thing on this young man's resume is his last name "P-I-T-I-N-O".

He never played college ball and was a Student Manager just 8-9 years ago. This proves that the old cliche "It's not WHAT you know - it's WHO you know"

It will be interesting to see how he does as the MN Gopher coach but it shouldn't be terribly surprising if he's in over his head.

Last I checked, there can be more than one administrative assistant at a school. Its like if Saul Smith would get mad at Joe Esposito for saying he was the assistant coach at the University of Minnesota, and Esposito was lying on his resume...

Uh oh. With a new coach comes a new "Friend of Tubby", albeit a little different. Perhaps "Enemies of Pitino"

Wait, is "administrative assistant" different than "assistant college coach"? Because it seems as though tiger843 is claiming that his brother was an assistant college coach. If that's not true, somebody should alert the media!
