Forde: Pitino in talks with Indiana

A Sea Of Blue: Front Page Posts found this 4/1/2008 on www.cardchronicle.com [flag]

Good Lord. Apparently there's some truth to the message board chatter that Louisville fans have been brushing off for the last couple of weeks, as ESPN's Pat Forde is reporting that Rick Pitino met with Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan in Bloomington on Monday afternoon, and cites a source close to Pitino as saying that he is "leaning towards" taking the job. This news comes just two ... [link]

Another day, another in-your-eye for the Cardinals

... And if that isn't enough, there is talk that Rick Pitino may be seriously considering the Indiana job. Heh. Well, at least I can honestly say that I know exactly how Cardinal fans must feel at this news, seems like it happened every year when Traitor Rick was at Kentucky. It's just in it's infancy, but if I were you, I would avoid comments on the Cardinal sites right now. They seem a bit less than totally tickled, and you have to wonder if maybe they have a reason to be. ...

The Calipari Collection: Five Pictures of John Calipari Looking Like a Jackass

guttylittlebruins posted 4/1/2008 from guttylittlebruins.com

Now, I’m a homer, but I’m not one of those homers. I do not instinctively despise any college hoops coach whose name does not rhyme with “Jen Mowland.” I dig Roy Williams. I love Rick Pitino. I acknowledge Tony Bennett is a really good looking guy. That being said, I was never a fan of John Calipari. Why? Cuz he talks a lot of s*** and he doesn’t back it up. DUH.

Cast: Galen Clavio, Scott Caulfield Topic: IU basketball coaching search-o-rama. Scott and I break down the Tony Bennett situation, talk some Mike Montgomery, some Lon Kruger, and go through a bunch of other names (both realistic and unrealistic), before deciding that no one has a damn clue what’s going on with this situation.

1989 Meeting Not a Sore Spot Between Roy Williams and Rick Pitino

Dancin’ At The Sweet 16: Tennessee - Louisville

Tennessee/Louisville Outlook This might be the only regional final where the two coaches outshine their respective teams. On one side, it’s Bruce Pearl and his never-ending quest of self-promotion (albeit, for the benefit of his team) and on the other, there stand Rick Pitino, the apple of the eye for all University of Kentucky fans.
