Pitino

Mick and Pitino being friends is widely known and often talked about by Mick.

I've said for years that Mick can have the friends he wants, but publicly backing Pitino is a bad look.

He seems to be around the program a lot these days. Thoughts?

I don't think Coach Cronin would ever do anything to put the program in jeopardy. That might be naive, I really have no idea how the behinds the scenes stuff goes in college sports these days (outside of the few schools named recently obviously). I'm not a Pitino fan but I can definitely see how him addressing our team can help the players. Is what it is I guess.

guy is a coaching legend and isn't on the payroll. i can't see any downside in getting free assistance from a coaching legend.

Because the guy is a slime ball who was basically kicked out of the game? Really sends a great message to our kids and is a good look for our program having that guy around...Way to go Mick. *Starts slow clap*

Who cares. So Rick said a few words to the players. Big whoop. You guys act like the guy is on the bench being Mick's right hand man. Mick and Rick are friends. Get over it.

I’m still calling you out as a Xavier troll.

I’ll circle back to the to Cumberland incident before the season started. You hadn’t posted on here for almost 8 months and then suddenly you post 7 comments in one hour regarding the situation.

7 comments in one hour!!!! After absolutely nothing for 8 months! LOL.

Now here you are again starting a thread about the friendship between the two coaches and the association one has with the team.

This screams little brother. I’d be more concerned with Mack dropping Xavier for the greener pastures in Louisville. I think it’s gonna happen. Much like Skip, Thad and Sean Miller did before him.

I couldn't care less about Pitino wearing a UC shirt or coming to games or talking to the team. Like him or not, the guy can coach. It's not a surprise that he and Mick are friends. Don't see it as an issue.
