Either Pitino is not the Recruiter/Coach that Cal is, or Cal is just lucky. Cal's first 2 1/2 years on the job is EXACTLY what Louisville Fans thought they was getting Consistently within 4 years and fans like MHall is right to be dissapointed
LMAO you must be joking. Cal took over a team that was two years removed from an Elite 8 that also had a second team all-american (who ended up turning pro and not playing for Cal). Pitino took over a team with one Elite 8 in 15 years! Cal is a better recruiter than any coach in the country, but he is mediocre at everything else. When it comes to developing players and taking less talented teams to greater heights, he is the fourth best coach in this area.
