@BearSolitaire Hate to burst your bubble, but she said Rick patio and meant it. I personally inched closer to getting down on a knee after reading it. More authentic. Genuine. She’s not a ball knower yet, but she’s trying

@ScottShiff300 Trust me, I’d have already proposed if she was texting me hyping up the greatest coach of all time

I have read Pyramid of Success by Wooden and Carolina Way by Dean Smith. I haven’t read anything by Pete Newell, but I obviously admire the relationships he was able to form with his players. Pitino is and always has been a stricter, more in-your-face coach than those guys. I’ve watched the guy for 20ish years now, I’ve talked at length on podcasts with his former players (my personal favorite, the engine of his Louisville championship team @TheRussdiculous) about how Pitino’s coaching resonated with them, and the relationship-forging he was able to build with them, I’ve talked with former assistants, and I’ve weighed empirical evidence of his on-court results. I think he’s the best to ever do it, and I don’t think it’s silly to say so.

@JakeAndBall Yeah, if you're into the pinnacle of coaching, I'd recommend studying the main communication methods of John Wooden, Dean Smith, and Pete Newell. Let's talk after you've done this. It'll be productive I promise

It's always a good idea for the coach to have a goal with every interaction they have with their players. Whatever Pitino wants from his player, do you think this is the **best** way to get him to change the way he's playing?

@cronkingit Fun fact: despite my southern roots, I have significant Italian lineage. I graduate next month, and I take the MPRE on Tuesday, but I took the night off studying and DoorDashed the best Italian you can find in Nashville for the Godfather’s 2026 tourney debut.

@JakeAndBall I saw “law student” (am attorney) and a real profile pic and I was planning a devastating strike on your ego when the moment was right. Turns out we both love the Most Italian Man so it’s all love

@bballbreakdown Did a coach hurt you? He thrived at Boston, thrived at Providence, set UK up for B2B chips, went to NBA, brought UofL back from dead, took Iona to peaks it had never seen before, then won B2B reg szn/tourney championships for the first time in BE history. Why are you being weird?

@JakeAndBall The greatest to ever use anger and disgust as primary communication methods? There's probably one guy ahead of him there

St. John’s is up 20-3, and Northern Iowa just had to call a timeout to avoid a 5-second call on the inbounds. Camera immediately panned to Rick Pitino after the timeout, and he was absolutely dog cussing one of his guards. The greatest to ever do it.

@cronkingit Crambeau scrumpis I can’t lie this tweet (“lurking” in particular) is a little creepy, but I’m grateful. Furthermore, when I tried to type out crambeau for the first time, it autocorrected to crabmeat. I’m a big crab fan, so I followed you. Cheers

Only coach to win a championship at two different schools. Also the only coach to take 6 schools to the tourney. Arguably the best culture-setter ever. I’ll back the guy that’s done a better job than anyone else at reaching the pinnacle of the sport over bballbreakdown. 👍

Rick Pitino now has 25 twenty+ point wins in his NCAA Tournament career... Only Krzyzewski has more with 28.

She replied in about 5 seconds after delivery. It was clear she didn’t look it up. This is an indisputable W for her, and I couldn’t be prouder

@RodtheEngineer Had he stayed at UK, Mike Krzyzewski would be an afterthought. Walked away from being the undisputed greatest and racking up 10+ championships at UK. Maybe the most interesting sliding door moment of the last 120+ years in college basketball.

St. John’s fans. I just want to prepare you. We are going to be fighting the other team, the officials, the networks, and every NBA draft narrative out there on Sunday to prevent Boozer vs. Peterson. Odds stacked against us. But at the end of the day, we have these two guys.
