Pitino to Celtics
Mark
Can anyone in Lexington shed some light on this one? I am orginally
from Providence so I know what it is like to have Rick move on, but I
think the Celtics arethe perfect fit. Rick returned Kentucky to glory
and now it is time for him to do the same for another legendary program
on hard times.

Call Pitino's office and ask him. I'm sure he'd be glad to give you
an earfull.

Call him...yeah right...the Pitino man has been AWOL for the last few
days. Weird, eh? He can't pass up 2 (probably) early lottery picks and
part ownership.

Agreed. We hear that the UK basketball office has a new phone system,
for which you press a different number for each pro team, and you get
a recorded message saying "Rick Pitino denies having any interest in the
NBA coaching position at X".
It's updated every time a new pro team shows interest in Pitino.

Except that Pitino hasn't been in Boston during this time. He's been
in Louisville, plugging his new Pitino Pasta.
Rick's passed up loads of $ and part ownership before. He says he already
earns plenty and is happy.

Wanna bet? Folks, believe me when I tell you it isn't going to happen!!
Pitino is going to be at Kentucky for as long as he continues to coach.
You can look for these things to happen:
1) Pitino will sign a new long term contract with UK for an annual sum
greater then the annual budgeted outlays for the entire system of higher
education in Kentucky.
(according to published reports, with the new Nike contract, he will be
making in excess of 3.5 million next year at UK)
2) UK will announce the groundbreaking for the new Pitino coliseum which
will be on campus, seat 40,000, complete with luxury sky boxes, etc.
3) Pitino will announce the Rick Pitino book of the month club, to which
the entire population of the Commonwealth will subscribe within the first
24 hours.
Seriously, you NBA guys can dream on, as well as you guys from rival
schools. Pitino and Kentucky are going to continue to do just what
they've been doing since RP arrived in Lexington--DOMINATE!!!!

You hope. He also said that at Providence just before he left for the
Knicks. Face it, the Celtics are the college version of what Kentucky
was when he arrived and worked his magic. For college hoops sake I hope
he stays put, but it must look pretty good to him nonetheless.

It never ceases to amaze me that because Pitino left Providence eons ago,
and subsequently moved on to the Knicks, that people continue to point to
that as evidence that Rick likes to roam. It's not like the man hasn't
had plenty of chances to move on to richer pastures over the past 8 years,
yet he remains in Lexington.
Anyone who thought he'd remain as a college coach at Providence forever
just doesn't know much about the hierarchy of NCAA basketball teams. It
was unfortunate that he spouted off about never leaving, but he's since
learned his lesson.
>Face it, the Celtics are the college version of what Kentucky

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm *sure* it looks good, and he must obviously
consider it. But as far as challenges, Rick himself says he is in the
twilight of his coaching years, and I'm not at all certain he wants a
challenge as demanding as rebuilding a broken pro franchise. He has
mentioned to recruits in the last couple of years that he doesn't care
to return to pro coaching, and he's promised this latest bunch of players
that he'll be in Lexington for all 4 of their years.
He's staying.

Just because you like AOL doesn't mean it's ususers tell the truth.
Remember, the newsgroups are used by regular people, not people who know
the truth. So don't take any kind of talk of Pitino at face value.
You'll end up wrong as ever. Pitino wanted a contract extension. He
won't got to Boston.

My guess is that this was a joke... Much as I dislike Kentucky, Pitino has
done a hell of a job there, and he's got a good situation. I don't
imagine he'd want to risk it to take over the hapless Celtics.

If all the press and stories every summer bug him so much, why doesn't he
take a serious step? He could add a clause to his UK contract that he'd
have to sit out a full year from coaching at the college or pro levels
when he leaves UK. No, I have no idea about the legalities of this, but
it could possibly solve the problem of being constantly bugged every
summer and prevent hurting of the recruiting process. If they would have
to wait a full year to earn his services, NBA franchises would probably
stop courting Rick. But, if he's still interested in the offers, he would
never do this...

Which 7-11? More importantly, which bar? Not all Tempe bars are as

Sure is, especially when we all know that Elvis was at my house having

I don't know what's stranger -- perpetuating this unconfirmed rumor or calling

I have to agree for two reasons. One, it's a stupid move for
someone who owns all the aces in any negotiations. Two, look
at what happened to the NE Patriots, who signed a similiarly

The Patriots got free draft choices from the Jets for a coach they had
already lost. I'd say that means they covered their butts pretty well
against a coach who had proven himself to be nomadic. And I used to love
Bill Parcells, mind you. Until he let his ego get the best of him. He
actually thought that that contract allowed him to just walk away so he
could coach another team. His ego didn't allow him to let somebody with
a legal brain look at it.

I think with Parcells it was a different situation. He was under contract
with one NFL team and wanted to go to another NFL team. He wasn't fired
(as far as I remember) so he was still under contract with the Patsies.
Had he wanted to, say, coach Notre Dame, he could have broken his New
England contract (probably at a financial loss) and gone on. But since he
wanted to coach the Jets (and equally as much get away from NE's owner) he
had problems. As a member of the NFL, he the Jets can't sign (or even
contact without permission) an employee of another team.
Pitino is under contract with Kentucky. If he quits for the NBA the only
thing he has deal with is the terms of his contract. And most basketball
contacts are designed to give the coach more freedom to leave with less of
a penalty than the penalty the school must pay for firing them (which
makes sense to me given the pressure to win).
If he were to put a "one year hiatus from coaching if I quit" clause in
his contract, no one wins. If he wants to coach somewhere else, he just
has to get fired somehow.

Yes, and with the relationship RP has had with SI in the past, he
might just change his mind and stay at UK (that's presupposing that
he had decided to leave before the SI stuff).

Sure. Rick was seeking a contract like Pat Riley. The University of
Kentucky could not legally give Rick a certain percent ownership of
the school, so he is now looking to Boston.
