In today's C-J Eric Crawford has an excellent column about the Cards success. It explains why I think this is Pitino's finest coaching job at U of L and one of his best ever.

His other good coaching jobs: Getting Providence to the Final FOur, his first year at UK when he had a 500 record with nobody. His 1996 team that won the title. Getting all of those guys to buy in to the team and not be selfish is amazing.
