Look at Bob Knight....his downfall was his inability to recruit/coach players of later generations because of his old school ways. My biggest question....why did Pitino announce his retirement 4-5 years ahead of time? If I were a recruit there is no way I would consider going to U of L now. Louisville has a lot of talent, but if they are in-fighting and not playing together bad things will come!
I agree. I think he is a good coach but past his prime. Just like Crume was. I can't figure out why when you are up by 20 you don't let the new guys play so they can get game experience, so they get what ever defense he is running.
