This has become a sad story about the Boomers and other seniors: knowing when to retire. Pitino, Coach K, Boeheim, Chris Mortenson, Lee Corso, Roy Williams, and host of other media members as well. Do they really love what they do or are they just afraid to retire? Even John Sterling (Yankees) stayed too long. It gets really sad after a while. Rob, you're from Queens, you don't remember where Iona is?
@@Obiamajoyisrmd - Because someone can live in a place and not know that a particular institution or organization is there, too, particularly when said place is very large. 🤷🏻♂️
Rob Parker is the most unprepared person in the media. Dang you just Google it. Not on the air as he did. If a person want to work and is able to work in the 70s WHY NOT!! Smh
As a 70 year old he's coached in the NBA, NCAA and Euro league so maybe he's just coaching for fun, out of limelight and he's probably loaded financially so why not.
It seems to me that St. John's would be the school that he would go to. He was born in NYC, basketball is the only game in town for a school like St.John's, he would be coaching in a pure basketball league, and returning St John's back to sustainable relevance would be the perfect cap to his career. Texas Tech would no doubt pay him more money, but I think the other factors would lead him to St.John's.
Last I heard Pitino said he was done with big time college basketball, and he was happy at Iona. If you hire him you’ll be looking for another coach in a no time.
Heckuva Coach. Too much controversy. NCAA is weak. Just wouldn't want a coach associated with scandal after scandal, no matter if he was not technically found guilty. Same with Sean Miller. No doubt a school will get one of greatest basketball coaches with Pitino. Trouble comes, always blame the assistants and cry plausible deniability. Works like a charm.
