The little guy on my left shoulder says go for it, and the little guy on my right shoulder says don’t. I’d like to have a coach that shares the same values that I do. That would include not cheating on my wife. That’s just me. Reminds me of the scene from Animal House. I'll leave it at that.

Why do Siena fans continue to insist they have any shot at Becker..? Hey Tony, I thought you said no trolls? It's a serious question... Who exactly and how did I troll. Guy has a base of 300k plus incentives means he's probably between 325-375. I'm not being disrespectful or trolling...

I believe in redemption. If he truly is interested it wouldn't hurt to have a meeting of the minds. I believe in redemption and second chances as well. It's third, fourth and fifth chances where I get a little fuzzy. There is a difference between someone making a mistake, learning from it and becoming a better person, and someone who continues to make mistakes and thinks they should be ignored or denies he was involved. He can coach, he can recruit and I would prefer he have nothing to do with Siena.

I find the demand for redemption is kind of cyclical depending on day of the week. Like Sunday morning after you missed mass, and she hasn't gone home yet, demand starts to go up. Mondays, after you missed all of Sunday completely because you were totally hung over, and you are trying to remember her name and if she gave you a phone number, the demand for redemption skyrockets. Tuesdays it starts to head back down as you foolishly plan to make the same mistakes all over again in the coming weekend. Wednesdays and Thursdays are bargain basement days for redemption, as there is virtually no demand. Fridays are sort of a 50/50 deal unless you are married and intended to "stop off just for one" after work and all of a sudden it is 9:00 pm.... then you probably need "premium redemption". Saturdays could get busy if you aren't married and look a lot like Sundays except for the missing mass part, unless you are Jewish in which case skip ahead to Sunday. And so it goes. If Rick manages an interview on a Wednesday or Thursday he has a shot. Hell, Bobby Knight would have a shot on a Wednesday or Thursday, and he didn't just push a kid out of the chair, he went for the Olympic two handed chair throw record. So we shall see. Meanwhile, you can contact me at this address for discount redemption (just because the Pope can't sell pardons doesn't mean I can't) after Tuesday.

I'm not being disrespectful or trolling... Trying to keep this thread to Siena fans so thread doesn’t go crazy, No offense click but you and yankee all you say is Siena can’t get this guy or that guy. As for Becker, HJ has said its possible Becker wants to get out of Burlington for family reasons. Siena has paid a coach 600K 8 years ago, so it’s silly for you to say 300k is too much. You have no idea what Siena would or would not pay for a coach. Now I agree Becker is a long shot and probably not happening, for all I know Becker is trying to float that idea to get more money from Vermont. If you had read the entire thread you would have known where the "becker" stuff was coming from

interesting. Non-catholic here. I thought the whole thing about Catholicism is that when you do something wrong you just walk into a confessional, absolve yourselves and then rinse, repeat.(maybe that repeat was supposed to be repent and its been misunderstood all these years?)
I am all for Pitino. He would be looking to cleanse himself and finish on a high note. The timing is perfect for the program to be sitting in a VERY different place 5 years from now when they might be looking at filling his retirement. Again, no other coaching option comes with a guarantee like he would. Even Beilein is going to have to prove he can recruit at the proper level.
Siena gambled with a coach that was fired from a conference foe. This man was known to have had issues with some of the families etc and had enough baggage associated to not get another coaching job in decades.(Buonaguro). Then they gamble with a lifer .500 coach who's antics were the laughing stock of the conference. Known heavy drinker/partier. (Patsos). Pitino is as professional as Fran. Even more successful than Fran. You can guarantee that respect and fear of Siena basketball would be restored instantaneously

Its obviously a pipe dream. However, the guy denies everything that involves him so of course he would say "nope" at this time regardless of if its true or not.

When Mark Singelais via twitter..posted “Rick Pitino denies interest in Siena basketball coaching job.” he posted it with the original post.. Very odd! 🤔

I am a catholic, I don’t have long hair, beard or walk,on water, do I sin regularly of course I am human. What they teach us at Siena let hemwho has not sinned cast the first stone, or something along those lines. Pitino as new coach, be interesting, great hire out of the box thinking not sure this admin is capable of such decisions. He would be a home run, short term, perhaps 5 years. Considering the longevity of the coach cycle at Siena, the fans should get used to 5-6 years if Siena is luck enough to lane a good coach. Revolving door. All the other options are entertaining as well.

You can guarantee that respect and fear of Siena basketball would be restored instantaneously You're going to have to define the term "professional" if you're going to use it to link Fran and Pitino in the same sentence. Fran deserves better than that. You may be right that Siena basketball would be "feared" if Mr. Pitino were to be hired as the next coach, but I'm not too sure about that "respect" part. The school's self-respect might be lost, as well.
