Pitino says staff and players are "foaming at the mouth to get started again"
per tid-bits from his Gopher Road Trip:
On the returners: "The six returning guys have certainly have learned a lot from last year. When you're in that many close games -- nine games lost by nine points or [fewer] -- you certainly learn a lot. I learned a lot about myself as a coach, things that I've got to get better at. But I think those six guys as well as us as a coaching staff are foaming at the mouth to get started again. We're really, really excited about it."
On implementing his style: "Our freshman are going to play a lot.... which is going to give a lot of gray hairs. But it will be great experience for those guys for the future. I'm excited about getting rolling because they all fit the way that we want to play. If you look at my first year, we set the record for three-point field goals made and attempted, and my second year we set the record for steals in school history. So you can kind of see the way that we want to play -- it's far from completed, but we're working towards that."
