Sheds some light on their feelings about last year and their thoughts on Pitino. Maybe best quote from Mason.
"He stuck with me through it and I would feel like a coward if I left," Mason said. "Yeah, it was rough. But Coach Pitino was a big reason why I stayed. I'm glad I stayed."
Pitino got a lot of crap last year. Deservedly so for the on court stuff, but thought he got raw shake on the off the court issue, including form his weak minded President. He was as aggressive and up front in handling it as any coach in a situation that was blown out of proportion imo. Looking back sure seems he handled about as well as a coach could. Speaking of, haven't seen foggieguy around for awhile. Hope he's okay.
