As an alumnus of Iona College, I'm more interested in its ethics and integrity than I am its recruiting prowess in Men's basketball, but hey that's just me. 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 Yikes.

Let me say what I70 was implying a different way.
I don't think the value of Iona's degree decreased because we hired Rick Pitino.

If there was a scandal while Pitino was at Iona there could be lasting reputations damage, depending on the nature of the scandal and the college’s reaction. Now under Liquori, the reputation of an Iona degree did take a hit due to his administration’s lying about academic and other performance.

What about the effect of Wright decommiting? Any long term effects?

What about the effect of Wright decommiting? Any long term effects? Not sure if that question was facetious? But, yes, a high school recruit may view an offer from Coach Pitino differently now. Still think Jolly and Joiner are great recruits but, yes, a younger player may think twice now.

Jolly and Joiner are 1 year solutions to a 1 year problem

They should just look at this year. Players that want things handed to them are the same who won't put the team first or play D so I think we dodged one here

What about the effect of Wright decommiting? Any long term effects? I said my piece about Coach Pitino when he was first hired and promised that would be it. Somehow I allowed myself to be goaded into a pointless discussion of the topic. That's my mistake. I'm done with this and I hope coach is successful as a coach and a person while at Iona.

Have you not gotten to know Greg at all out here?
