Really informative and fun interview with Pitino. I, for one, am glad that he is back in college hoops. He is as fiery and competitive as ever and I think that bodes well for IONA.
Didn't realize all the recognizable coaches that were once at IONA... Jimmy V, Tim Welsh, Kevin Willard, Tim Cluess.
Pitino Interview - (
New Window )
I just believe people we entrust our 17 year olds to should be role models or at least morally secure.
Because you feel that way you probably did not read the article. So, I guess there is nothing more for you and I to discuss on this topic.
Agree completely. Spot on.
It's not about that or judging others morals.
1) he's a serial contract jumper
2) he's a known cheater and liar at KY and Louisville and was run out of the NCAA
3) since it's a Catholic institution, it matters that he is also a known public adulterer and paid off the woman to abort the pregnancy he caused. All of which are against Church teachings.
Sadly this is typical of the Church in recent years. Do as i say not as I do. I guess big time basketball coaches get special dispensation.
Good food

I know what you mean KB, and I agree with you. It's what I meant by "typical of the Church in recent years". But at some point they (or any scandal plagued instituion) has to say enough and stand for something. It's very sad to me.
