Knowning what you know now, would you trade Pitino for Shaka?

[Winasota Gopher]

Would we hire a young, energetic kid that coached under Rick Pitino, Billy Donovan and was personally recommended by Billy D? Not to mention he turned around an FIU program that was in major disrepair after a catastrophic coaching run by Issiah Thomas, showed skills of energizing a fanbase and a team despite years of not living up to expectations?

I'd like to say that sounds like a real good resume, familiar to what Donovan had before going to Florida.... And we know how that worked out for them...

Also somewhat similar to someone named Shaka Smart.

Assistant under and recommended by Donovan.
