It´s 12:15....if our top options don´t pan out...why not offer Rick Pitino a 5 year deal? I´m not going to type why, but if he can win at Iona and St. John´s...

Setting aside his age he'd never be considered because of his skeletons alone. Aside from being in his 70s I'd take him over his son 10/10 times; not to say I want the Pitino the elder, I don't give a crap about playing in the gray but his issues are beyond that and I really want no part of Pitino the younger.

I’ve been clear that I don’t have Stevens high on my list. If he is going to be the coach I would like to see a veteran staff around him that has been in the college game, the current game and landscape. 
it’s not an agenda. I want to win and I think there are safer options out there to achieve that. I think he is a gamble and we don’t need to gamble. Adding people like Cody is gambling even more given he has zero experience coaching or as a GM.

If Dolsons guy is a current college coach, that's not just keeping it hush on our end, that would surely mean theirs would be too. Chances there hasn't been a leak in that whole situation seems would be tough. How does everyone keep mouths shut?
Most likely because the only people in the know are trustworthy and actually care about the wishes of the other person. If a friend, family member, etc. Asks for something to be kept quiet until they are ready to announce, then people should keep their mouths shut. With regard to agents, they was to continue to get paid, so they have a vested interest as welll to respect their clients wishes. I'm guessing, if the hiring process is complete with any coach, there is a very small number of people that know the actual details about what's going on.

Agreed. If they don't hire a seasoned college basketball GM this will be a disaster.

The current game--- Stevens played a huge role in creating the "current game". 

We've found the first person that wouldn't like the Stevens hire.

The fact that he thinks 21 wins is a good benchmark is alarming because 40 years ago that WAS the standard of a good season (successful coaches/programs were often measured by the number of 20+ win seasons over a period of time). But scheduling has changed since then, teams play more games now than ever, and conference tournaments give even more opportunities to win games. The 20-win benchmark hasn't been relevant in about 25 years.

Just another data point to demonstrate how out of touch he really is.

He also referenced their RPI and Sagarin ranking the last 3 yrs.  Well at least  I think he did.

Please, troll better

You serious? Someone posted that the nba was closer to the college game then ever before: I agree in some ways but that same rational was used to hire Woodson and all of these other former nba guys and it hasn’t panned out in most cases.

troll better?

You didn’t, there are plenty of people that don’t have Stevens at the top of their list. It’s ok to:) and don’t spin it to “wouldn’t like”. It’s  all a matter of preference and why we are here - to discuss the ins and outs of this next hire.

a guy like Pearl for example would be a safer bet in my opinion. Clearly you feel different and that is ok too.

I’m one of them. If we want to dream about somebody who isn’t coming, dream about Bruce Pearl or Nate Oats. Those two clear Stevens today easily.

For reference and I hope you folks know that the “show” at 4pm is a between game show to kill 30 minutes. Please don’t go down this road. This is aimed at truthers only.
