Any Louisville fan that is upset with Pitino's performance at Louisville is plainly and simply basketball ignorant. There will never be another run like Pitino had at UK. The game changed shortly after he left. Hardly nobody went to the NBA straight out of high school, and most stayed at least until there sophomore year and many stayed the entire four years.

It took him a couple of years to get things turned around at Louisville but he has gotten them rolling. He did one of the best coaching jobs I have ever seen this season and he is not afraid to change his style or philosophy if it is needed.

As for him taking the Louisville job, why would he go to Michigan over Louisville? He also turned down UNLV. He knew Louisville was most likely going to get invited to the Big east and it was a perfect fit.

As for Michael Bradley, he had to tell him he would be there the entire four years. What else is he supposed to say? Besides, even though he might have been negotiating with the Celtics he was still doing the job UK was paying him to do and he got Bradley on Campus. Btw, wasn't Bradley's dad kind of a problem? Also, bradley ended up being pretty mediocre anyway.

A real stand up guy would tell a kid and his problematic racist dad that he was in negotiations with the Celtics a few days before taking the money and running. Bradley's dad flat out said that Pitino said he was not going anywhere and had no plans on leaving. All the while Pitino was in negotiations to leave. Pretty sorry excuse of a Coach and a MAN if you ask me and Pitino has done nothing to change my opinion of him in either the Coach or the MAN part. Like all the rest, just my opinion
