I can admit that I questioned his coaching skills, but gave him the benefit of the doubt that he would learn on the job, but outside of that, after year 2, I never doubted him and was in here trying to point out to everyone how his recruiting was steadily improving, how the players were developing and improving, how they were only losing games by close margins, how they were easily one of the youngest teams in the country, and how all of those factors would improve the next year and the year after that and all the doubters and bashers would be proved wrong, and they were. It doesn't happen all of the time, but occasionally I make one of these calls, and I did that year. I didn't pay attention to how many losses they accumulated, I paid attention to how close the margins were, how young the team was, how improved the recruiting was, and predicted a major improvement in year 4 and again in year 5. Well, I could say, I told you so, but I won't, because we haven't won a Natl Title yet and that is the real goal here, right?
But to all of those Pitino bashers, I will say, HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE IT???
lol It's my right to ask that question, so now its your right to try to come up with some LAME ASS excuse why you didn't see what the rest of us saw, lol.
