And IU was dumb enough to keep Davis for a 2nd season even a certain HOF coach was coming back to college... How much different would the 2000s have been with Pitino instead? No way there wouldn't be multiple elite 8 and Final Four appearances.

Did get to the championship game in that 2nd year which I wouldn't give that up.

As for Pitino we probably would have had all of our wins vacated

That final four run wasn't worth the 20 years of mediocrity to follow.

What if we won it. If you say it wouldn't be worth it that is foolish

He does. And what’s really funny is his Wikipedia page doesn’t mention the IU years. It has a gap from 2014 to 16.

Watching this right now and the coaches are going to try to get a change in the recruiting calendar. They are saying if it doesn't change then more and more coaches will leave the profession.

You can watch this on YouTube which is where I watched it. They were talking how with the portal and your normal recruiting period you have little or no down time to spend with your family.  Wes Miller talked about when UC's new football coach saw Miller in the middle of the summer about why Miller was still in the office Miller told him all he has been doing during the summer and the football coach said the next he is headed to the beach. He thought that football coaches always talked about not having the time for themselves but now it is the basketball coaches.

So they have to work hard and all year to make millions of dollars per year? I don't feel sorry for him.

Gotta agree with you there.

Even if he’s only making $200k - how about the people working 6-7 days at jobs physically demanding/exhausting (steel mills, tire factories, etc)? How about single parents that work 2, sometimes 3 jobs just trying to make ends meet?

Listen, he may have a point in that if things don’t change people will leave the profession. So be it - and, if that occurs, market forces will either change the situation or eliminate it.

Leave the profession? And then do what? (rolls eyes)
