per Rand:
PITINO TO THE WOLVES
Pros: He showed in his first season with the Gophers that, when inheriting talent, he can make something of it. That team, remember, won 25 games and the NIT title. … Pitino’s up-tempo style would put to use the Wolves’ athletes, and his offense would yield plenty of three-point attempts. … If his coaching style is more reminiscent of Billy Donovan than his father, the transition to the pros might not be as hard as we think. … He’s already familiar with center Gorgui Dieng from his Louisville days.
Cons: If his Gophers team frustrates him, the Timberwolves might be a new level of frustration. … His dad is a college legend but was a mediocre NBA coach. That should tell us a lot.
MITCHELL TO THE GOPHERS
Pros: His old-school approach might have a better chance of working with young college kids instead of young millionaires. … Mitchell’s emphasis on defense is a good place to start in the Big Ten. … Imagining Mitchell prowling the raised floor at Williams Arena has a certain aesthetic appeal.
Cons: His offensive preferences, deemed outdated by some, would have a hard time working at the college level. … If the Timberwolves frustrate him, this Gophers team might be a new level of frustration.
