Win as a team Lose as a team, hang national championship banners in the rafters as a team, fly home together after the "toughest loss in Ricky P's coaching history" and face the music as team. Seems to me if they can go there seperate ways after the loss they were not much of a team before the loss. TEAM - Team Expressing Answers with the Masses. My bet is the Masses at Louisville and all that follow the team was wanting some answers to the questions. I know from the Big Blue Nation, there are plenty of questions after losses, especially if one was as embarrassing as the one Louisville had. Maybe that is another difference between the programs, One wants Championships and answers as to why they are not won and another is happy with profits and are not concerned as to why losses happen.
That is bull Woody and I think you know it. This would have happened regardless of what major program it was, you just want to single Pitino out. You don't think the attention-harlot coach you have would have done the same thing in this situation? He did come back to Louisville with the members of the team that came back before he flew back out. What we have here is a non-issue that you are trying to make a big deal out of, and then throwing out your coachisms that you learned from the Upward youth sports program so that you can justify it.

Btw There is no "I" in TEAM. Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing. Teamwork and dedication builds winners blah, blah, blah.

Acting like Kentucky is the only team that wants to win titles is silly to think and pretty ridiculous. of course it is about on par with "We are everybody's Super Bowl" or "Everybody wants to be us" and even as bad as "this is the greatest day in the history of Kentucky basketball."
