Awful commentary from Rick Pitino.
He does make really bad decisions from time to time (like most of us).
History shows that.
It's arguable but not anywhere near to awful. One could argue that we didn't have enough talent or that we did. What elder Pitino said is true- we don't have all Big Ten players and those will need to be recruited and developed. It is possible that this team could have been good enough to make the tournament but things had to go right for them. They lost the close ones early and with it they lost their confidence and the season was near dead 5 games into the Big Ten season. It would have taken a "coach of the year" performance to bring them back from 0-5 to making the NCAAs.
People are going to ask Pitino about his son and he's going to answer in a lot of cases. I am happy that they do - it puts the Gopher program on the radar screen.
