Just last year he was talked about for head coaching jobs. I didn’t see it coming at all. Maybe he’s pulling a retire to come out of retirement thing and end up somewhere else.

Could Cronin be forcing him out for some reason?

Perhaps LD just wants family/leisure time. He saw the rebuild through. Perhaps he just figured, UC basketball is back in the picture nationally-I was a big part of that-now is as good a time as any.

Are you kidding? UC couldn't afford Pitino's liquor bill.

Would it surprise anyone if Cronin hired Rick as an assistant? Some would view it as poor judgement, but I don't think they'd be surprised. He's supported him always.

I have always been a Mick supporter, but I have to admit when he was on medical leave I thought Larry Davis got the kids playing better on offense and generally a more fluid game. He would have been a good head coach at a higher level D1 school.

I'm disappointed to see him leave UC, but I guess after doing anything for 30 years some people want to step back a bit.

Hopefully we get a charismatic recruiter who can be a strong positional coach.

Cronin isnt the only familiar face with him, Dr Pinto was president at Louisville Pitino's last year.

Regarding the timing LD retired, thinking back on it, thought it was strange when Savino was promoted to co-assoc HC two weeks after last season, wasn't sure how long UC would have 2 assoc HC's.
