Looking ahead `ten years...

Coach Pitino still here. Collins still at NU. Miles at Nebraska... These three will be the Senior Coaches in the B1G. I love the youth movement away from the stuffed shirt fraternity called B1G Coaches.

The real question is could Pitino be the longest tenured coach and still the youngest at the same time?

Totally possible. In youth there is exuberence, In experience there is beer.

The story of the young bull and the old bull. The young bull tells the old bull he is going to run down the hill and mount a cow...the old bull says he is going to walk down the hill and mount them all.

Experience teaches not to mix Cool-ade with beer.

I do expect Pitino to be moderately successful.
AND I believe that as soon as Pitino is moderately successful, we will be seeing some big name basketball schools throwing enough money his way to lure him away (like UCLA in about five years).

OK, I will put it this way...Give me 5 to ten years with Coach Pitino before I am in my big hole in the ground, and I will die happy.

I am totally supportive of this youth movement in the Coaching Ranks of the Big Ten.

I think Izzo will still be coaching in 10 years IMO

C 'mon let's be serious...I hope nobody buys into that "I want to coach here forever" bit. If he does succeed here the big boys will come calling. Papa Pitino will also leave Louisville one day and the doors will swing open for Jr.

We're certainly the only Big Ten school that worries about our coaches leaving before they've ever coached a practice.

The thing is if he does succeed this WILL be a "big boy" school.

After several more years Calipari takes Kentucky to ruin. Richard Pitino, after a successful run at Minnesota, follows in his fathers footsteps to resurrect Kentucky.
