per Amelia:
No changes to staff
Despite coming off a historically bad season in which the Gophers set records for the longest losing streak (14 games) and losses (23), Pitino said he doesn’t feel substantial changes are needed.
“If there was [a need for changes],” he said, “I would have done them.”
That includes his immediate staff, which is comprised of three assistants — Ben Johnson, Nate Pomeday and Kimani Young — as well as Ryan Livingston, the director of basketball operations.
“Do we all need to get better? Yes. Do I need to get better? Yes,” Pitino said. “I think we all understand that. But I love the potential of our staff. We’ve got two Midwest guys — Ben played here, and Nate played at Northwestern. They understand the Big Ten, they understand the Midwest, which is great for a guy who is not from here like myself. I think Kimani and I work really well on the East Coast together. I think Ryan Livingston, who we’ve brought in as our ops guy, he brought a lot of knowledge from Villanova.
“I think we have a great staff. It doesn’t look like it right now, but I think it’s going to pay off in the end.”
