I think it's a good hire. He is known as a bright young coach, and is well respected already. Doesn't hurt that your Dad is a legend.

Oh yeah? There are at least a couple of examples I can think of where having a legendary Dad proved very painful. But I get your point.

On another note, why doesn't he go by Dick Pitino? Just putting that on the table...

Who knows how active Tubby was on the recruiting front at this stage in his career. Richard Petino is young and hungry.

Aw, man! I'd never post anything suggesting something that tawdry, not on this fine information super-highway community. Well, OK. I'd never admit to any hidden meaning in a post about Louisville!

I can't get enough of that girl in your sig.

And Tubby goes to Texas Tech to take over the program that Billy Gillespie left to replace Tubby at Kentucky.

Minnesota is going with the youth movement.

Good hire, but probably not their first choice.

They were paying Tubby top 15 type money and he wasn't delivering top 15 type results.
