Exactly. He's the only one who could stop this, but by not saying anything well.... I believe he has said something. And that is that he is only concerned with the games that Iona is playing. If he admits that he's received offers from Georgetown and SJU, well that would open a big can of worms. So, maybe nothing is the best thing to say. At least for Rick and the team, even if fans don't agree. JMO. The team knows what is going on, it's all over the internet and being discussed on every sports radio station. You can't escape it. A simple statement to put this to rest if it's not true is "hey everyone I'm flattered by all this talk but I'm not leaving Iona". |

For those fixated on the rumors of Rick Pitino go join the Chicken Little Society. For gosh sake stop being distracted by the rumor mill and enjoy what is in front of you. The season is inevitably ending soon, enjoy the ride and savor the moments while they last. Appreciate the now, do not live in fear of the unknown. GO GAELS! Play hard and get it done. Looking forward to tonight.  |

Sorry, disagree. Yeah, keep it off the board, but as far as Twitter tired of the kids being shit on while trying to win a MAAC championship.
Maybe it's just me, but I will never apologize for sticking up for this great group of young men, both on and off the court.

It is disgraceful that all these rumors about RP taking another job while Iona is in the midst of trying to win the MAAC Tourney and win a game or 5 in the NCAAs is going on. Regardless of what he says publicly, I really hope that RP has confided in the team that he either intends to stay or is going to be gone - I think he owes his team and staff that much given the fact that most of them are at Iona because he was going to be their coach. And, while I never believed all of his statements that he loves Iona and that this is his "last job", I truly hope he didn't make those promises to those he recruited and then bails.
I think that RP is a great basketball coach and would like to see him stay at Iona. If he decides to leave I wish him the best. He said he was happy to be at Iona where he didn't have to deal with the BS he had to deal with at big schools. While I wish him the best if he leaves, I hope that he has to deal with all that big time BS in spades wherever he ends up.
In my profession my word is my bond - I like to think that others are as honorable. Simply put; if he decides to leave, he is not a man of his word. I do not know what his written contract with Iona says, but if he breaches a written contract I trust that he is man enough to voluntarily pay Iona for the damages which flow from his breach.
Whatever he does will not affect my life one way or the other. Iona will survive with or without him. I just hope he does the right thing for his players, staff, and the University.
Go Gaels!!!

Ivy SFs 1100am - Cornell vs Yale (-6) ESPNU A10 SFs 100pm - SLU vs VCU (-4) CBSSN 330pm - Fordham vs Dayton (-6.5) CBSSN Also should be rooting for Vermont as well. Any little bit helps. Iona also beat Penn and Princeton but they're playing each other today. Toledo and Kent St are playing each other as well. Probably better to root for Toledo, but they're close. |
