Called that one. The question is whether UConn or Pitt is a better job going forward. Why would anyone want the Pitt job? They finished 0-18 in the ACC this year and now 8 players have been granted a release from their scholarships. Sure, a new coach can go in and build his own team immediately, but there isn't a cornerstone to build it on. It will take years for Pitt to be competitive in the ACC again, if ever. Pitt is an ACC school. They have struggled in the conference but they were doormats in the Big East until they hired the right coach, Ben Howland. It's a big boon to sell recruits on playing against Duke and North Carolina instead of East Carolina and Tulsa. It won't be easy for whoever they hire. I'm betting Univ. of Buffalo coach Nate Oats (sigh). Oats and Washington coach Mike Hopkins are the two main candidates, not that Hurley and Tom Crean are off the board. I'm not sure if Hopkins will want to coach in the same conference as Syracuse, he was an assistant at Syracuse for a thousand years and the heir apparent until Boeheim decided he would coach until he's 110 years old. |
