Sharkey, I’ll let you take over, you are the king of twitter updates anyway, I’m getting drained from this, but right now there is nothing else to do! A comment like this makes you realize Iona almost has to take this chance, best part of it is I believe if it ends quickly Cluess may be there to takeover and he will likely have some great players to coach. Lol, yeah bail on me and leave me with all the work!! it's almost impossible to keep up with. Yeah Vitale has me thinking Iona has to take the chance, and by chance the NCAA getting involved. Without any sports for these guys to cover this Iona-Pitino hiring, if finalized, will be news for a bit. Will have weeks of hype over his staff as well as recruiting

I think it's been a guarantee for a couple weeks.
I get the risks some of you are bringing up. But if you're a small mid-major with poor attendance despite ridiculous success--and let's face it, trending downward in recent years despite the titles--you NEED to make this move.

I’ll say this. The MAAC message board is going to be fun.

Unless he blows up at Bryant, he could still end up here after Pitino is gone. No one believes Pitino will be more than 3 years--win or lose. Of course, if Bryant wins 20 every year starting next year he won't end up with us, but if his success is only moderate, he could easily still be an option in 3 years time.

Definitely? WTH? This obviously has been in negotiation for weeks, if true. Hope he's not returning to Greece. He would need to start now for there to be any benefit to this move.

I don’t see Parise’s quote on Pitiono’s twitter.

Wanted Grasso, but will get on the Pitino bus as well.
I root for the name on the front of the jersey regardless who’s in it or coaching it.
Just wondering how this will all work with him coaching the Greek national team at this summers Olympics?
