per Marcus:
Three years ago, Richard Pitino and Chris Collins were two of the hottest young college basketball coaches in the country.
Pitino became the youngest Big Ten coach of the year after the biggest one-year turnaround ever for the Gophers’ program. Collins was up for national coach of the year honors after Northwestern’s first NCAA tournament appearance ever.
Both schools scrambled to make sure other programs didn’t lure their coaches away.
Their struggles to win consistently since have caused the script to flip. Whether both Pitino and Collins are on the hot seat is up for debate. But the status of their respective programs isn’t debatable — they’re struggling to stay afloat.
“That’s the thing, people don’t realize the difference between a win and a loss,” Pitino said on his radio show this week. “There’s a fine line. So, you don’t need to just blow up the program and change everything.”
