Wait! How can you guys be for this after the constant bashing of patsos behavior and rumored incidents. The sypher incident is disgusting and now all the other stuff with recruits getting "favors" is ok, as long as it's pitino? If Pitino has in fact cleaned up his act I don’t think recruiting would be an issue. Set the bar high enough and go get them. He’d open up a whole new talent pool to us. He’d get more kids just sending tape to Siena than he could watch. There’s a lot of positives there. Lol. And the part with syphers and recruits getting "favors?" Thats ok? |

A few thoughts on Pitino for those concerned about bringing someone so dirty into the program: Pitino is 100% committed to getting another coaching job. That much is very clear based on that message from HJ and things I’ve heard from others nationally. He’s hungry as hell to prove he can win and take a little of the stain off his resume. He’d work his ass off. Pitino isn’t as crazy as you think. Siena isn’t the only school that has gotten interest from Pitino— he nearly landed the Rhode Island job, reportedly their AD had a handshake agreement but the president said no. I think Darg would sign off. I just don’t know that Brother Ed would. This would bring the fans back, lots of good recruits, etc. I’m in on this idea. Are you telling me that his recruits would meet Siena's high academic standards? (Insert hysterical laughter here) According to HJ my opinion makes me not very bright. My opinion is it's a sell your soul for another public spectacle. Been there, done that for the last 5 terrible years. But I can see where you just win types will put blinkers on and to hell with any integrity this institution may have left at this point, which is very, very little. Siena wouldn’t be in the mix if it weren’t for the NCAA and the FBI investigations and given the salacious nature of his past it would be like hiring Michael Cohen as your legal counsel. While Siena needs a HR I don’t see Pitino as the route taken. But hey I’m not an alum and only in it for the basketball so if it happens I’m still in. |

If Becker is truly interested.....isn’t that the move you make? Season Team Overall Conference Standing Postseason Vermont (America East Conference) (2011–present) 2011–12 Vermont 24–12 13–3 2nd NCAA Second Round 2012–13 Vermont 21–12 11–5 2nd CBI First Round 2013–14 Vermont 22–11 15–1 1st NIT First Round 2014–15 Vermont 20–14 12–4 T–2nd CBI Semifinals 2015–16 Vermont 23–14 11–5 T–3rd CBI Semifinals 2016–17 Vermont 29–6 16–0 1st NCAA First Round 2017–18 Vermont 27–8. 15-1. 1st. NIT . The only thing that doesn’t make it a slam dunk for me is the program has a history of winning before Becker. But I do like the fact that he has won championships at the d1 level. It’s harder to win here than the American east. Becker, slam dunk great hire who instantly gets Siena back into Fran like levels. THIS is a hire I would honestly hate. |

Past sins aside, you think you can lump JPs and Pitino’s recruiting and coaching on an even level? I’m talking a squeaky clean Pitino. I know it’s not popular with some but appealing all the same. Becker, I’d like him too. |

The person trying to get Pitino here, and also has a lot of local influence, told me money isn't an object, and he'd commit to a 6 year deal. So basically his last job. I get all the negatives about this guy, but god damn, it's been a long 8 years and what this guy would bring to the program, AND the conference, would be off the charts!! We NEED A HR. Can't have another single. 10,000 strong every night, and the most talented roster we could ever imagine. Dream big people! 95% of you said he was a pipe dream, and here HE is reaching out to US!?! Make it happen D'Arg. The ones who just liked this post, really? Mts, how dare you attack patsos on morality issues and then support pitino? Explain please? |

My point is many on here are being flat out egregious in going after patsos behavior and then now wanting pitino. Human nature to want to win, but to be so obviously inconsistent is ridiculous. |

Pitino has LOTS of baggage that Siena doesn't need right now. We need a hungry coach. We don't need a coach who has millions, already coached in the BE and ACC and doesn't need the gig at all. I think he DOES need it, not from a monetary standpoint but to clear his name. Much more motivating than dollars. How does coaching Siena clear his name? Love to hear this. |

No need to be snide. I am bringing up legitimate points that hopefully annoy your fan base. I am not bringing up just trolling, made up stuff. It is ridiculous to ask for patsos to be fired for behavior and then pine for pitino. Simple as that. |

Wasn't Pitino a scapegoat of the nufarious acts of Louisville boosters. To my recollection, Pitino has denied any knowledge of the wrongdoing going on while he was hard on the recruiting trail & conducting fundraising for the school. It would be immoral to hold him accountable for the indiscriminate acts of others, that he had no part or knowledge of. Louisville BOT attempted to deflect attention away from the school by railroading Pitino out of town, without conducting a full/fair investigation. Siena would not be compromising their principles, since Pitino has not been proven to have done anything in conflict with their principles. In fact, it would be immoral not to give Pitino an opportunity to show he can guide a clean, principled program to great achievement. Lol. Well done. Post of the year candidate? |

Did he steal kids per diem? He must have grabbed or pushed a kid? what behavior are you alluding to that is similar to patsos? |

Wasn't that investigated and it was an over zealous asst coach? And OK-- so the opposite of Patsos, instead of abusing kids he made sure kids had too much fun-- not quite the same now is it? IN the franciscan tradition I believe Pitino is innocent and or has repented. Are you now attacking our faith? |
