    In regards to Pitino - WTF?

    Really didn't do much of anything at Minnesota before getting fired. I guess I get the Louisville connection there, but damn. If that's the best Louisville can do, then they need to look in the mirror and take a good audit of who they are as a program.

    Winning the tournament in the best conference in hoops doesn't move the needle for you?!?!?

    With college sports entering a fresh circle of hell next year - I'm not surprised many coaches and ADs are jumping at the chance for a fresh, new contract. The ADs know that hell is coming, the budgets, the losing in tougher conferences. And so many of those who played key roles in the coming chaos headed out so they wouldn't have to deal with their handiwork.

    To the squealing delight of everyone else in the Big 12.

    It's also not a fair comparison. USC would have gone to the tournament numerous times under Bob Boyd had the current rules been in place. Instead teams that went 24-2 (71) and 24-5(74) were kept out by the old one-team per conference rule. Hell USC might have had a Final Four team in 1971 under the current rules but lost twice to UCLA and didn't win the Pac-8.

    Would be a refugee hire for SMU. These don’t always work. Then again, no type of hire is foolproof.

    USC has never been a consistent basketball winner in the at large era. I think a half-century is long enough to declare a trend.

    Even Raveling's teams couldn't step up in the big moments.

    We both said Enfield has underachieved.

    Tim Floyd was USC's most successful coach in the at-large era, 3 NCAAs in 4 years. Of course in true SC fashion he was cheating his balls off.

    Considering what SMU did to the last guy, they may want to take what they can get for now

    Had a losing record this year, before that exceeded 20 wins seven out of the last eight seasons. Thats about as good as USC could have hoped for. This isn’t football.
