Out of curiosity, for those that are in the anti-Pitino camp, I'm interested to hear what your primary issues are with him. For me, during the low point of the season (I think it was after Nebraska or N'Western game) my biggest question mark was around his ability to manage a roster and bring in the right type of player, and I also questioned his actual ability to flat out coach. At the time, the coaching was tough to gauge because of the lack of talent. After watching the season play out, I've become less concerned about his coaching and ability to develop players, and my biggest question mark at this point still remains the roster management. For this reason, I am completely on board with Pitino being the coach next year (regardless of contract buyout), and as long as the upward trajectory continues with the talented roster, I'd like to see him make it to 2017. Seems like in spite of everything going against the program, he has somehow been able to build momentum within the recruiting ranks. I'd love for him to be able to keep that momentum going, and a strong showing this year should go a long way.
So with that being said, for those that voice their displeasure with bball and Pitino, what are your issues? Too young and inexperienced? Can't coach? Doesn't develop players? He didn't earn the position? Brings in the wrong type of kids? Historically bad season deserves firing? For those that want him gone, its a completely fair opinion based on how last season went, just interested in the why.
