If he can't bring the team to Greece, but he has to go and can do so somehow, don't see why the staff can't bring the team to Canada for a few games and get them playing together, reporting into Pitino every day with assessments. Do you understand what's going on in Canada right now? Aren't the Toronto Blue Jays playing their 'home' games in Florida?

Like the US, you have to look at Canada by Province (State). 25% of the population of Quebec is vaccinated, compared to about 13% for the whole country. Things may open up there quicker.

I I think about 75% of people in the Iona pro board that wanted Grasso to coach this team over Pitino. All fawning over the hall of fame coach now

Well obviously I wouldn’t of posted it but if your bored do your homework. I was shocked at the group for wanting mediocrity

vallin1, I was surprised at some board members who voiced their preference as you suggested; would not say I was shocked. Let me know how many board members we have and I’ll do some research (homework). Seriously doubt it was even close to 75%. I know for a fact that over 50% declined to comment. Thanks for playing...

Didn't think that there was ANY chance that we could get a HOF coach. I was not aware of his connection to President Carey, when both worked in the state of Kentucky. I did know that he had a connection with Robert LaPenta in the horse business, but that didn't mean I thought he'd become our coach. With the acquisition of Concordia College, along with the hiring of RP, President Carey, even early in his tenure as President of Iona has shown great vision, imo. And I see great things in Jared Grasso's future. Would have been very happy with him as our coach. And maybe one day he will be.

Did not want Pitino, guilty as charged, also not fawning over him as well. Not sure about the Grasso indictment, or the point of the post really.

Honestly as long as we got Pitino or Grasso, I was good.

It’s obvious to me maybe not you that RP is recruiting at a level no other coach including Grasso could dream of bringing here. Now that’s not to diminish Grasso cause he has a bright future one day he will move up from the powerhouse Bryant but CTbill I know shocking to you but kids want Pitino

And if you are a fan of Pitino and what he is doing, great. Don't see the need to rub it in the faces of posters who would have rather had Grasso. Me personally, I wasn't necessarily in the Grasso camp, either. Just thought Pitino was a questionable hire.

Can anyone name a school that went from good in academics to bad because of a coaching hire... Totally separate entities
