I heard the interview with Pitino and Barreiro around 5pm.
Pitino addressed the body language of Washington.
He said that Isaiah has a natural body language that others may perceive as bad, but Pitino didn't think it was intentional. He did say that IW needed to project a more team first image so he was glad the TV announcers pointed it out. Said a fresh voice might help. Pitino said IW was great in the locker after the game and at today's practice. He said the coaches talk about how the kids need to sell themselves on camera when they have all these televised games. They need to project a team first attitude to any scouts who are watching. Pitino thinks IW will get it eventually.
Pitino said that Amir has the potential to be a role player in the NBA and that scouts look for the intangibles besides just scoring. Praised Amir for his defensive effort.
Pitino said that three rookies have played out of necessity. He's really looking forward to Eric Curry being back, but don't want to rush him. Said Murph, McBrayer and Coffey have been steady leaders. He was glad to see Coffey pick it up another level.
He also said that Curry had just dunked the ball while the interview was going on so he felt Curry was close to being ready.
Add more if you heard it.
