April 4, 200818 yr The insults that were directed toward him, and his wife were totally inappropriate. To boo him is one thing, but some of the things that I heard were said to him, and his wife are just unacceptable behavior. It's basketball folks. The man did what he thought was best for him, and his family. Some people simply need to get life's priorities figured out. :thumb::thumb: Exactly LRCW
April 4, 200818 yr Kentucky fans have absolutely no reason to harbor such ill will toward Pitino. He did exactly what he said he would do, which was restore the program to the elite level of college basketball, after taking over a program in disarray. Of course, it's hard to expect such rational thinking from UK fans ...

He did exactly what he said he would do, which was restore the program to the elite level of college basketball, after taking over a program in disarray. Of course, it's hard to expect such rational thinking from UK fans ... Did you seriously just get on a thread like this where a lot of UK fans are on here saying nice things about the man and call UK fans irrational in general? That is just beyond me.
April 4, 200818 yr Pitino was amazing at the servce. He is truly a gifted speaker and when talking about someone he truly cares about it really comes straight from the heart. I have always said that I am very thankful for what Pitino did for our program. He restored it to greatness!
April 4, 200818 yr Never had any hard feelings about Pitino leaving. I would have done the exact samething and any UK fan that says differently is a liar. I will also say that I believe UK did as much for Pitino as Pitino did for UK. I wish nothing but the best for Pitino and would love if some day the UK job were open and he was available that he would come back.
April 4, 200818 yr Pitino loved Keightly and it showed in what he said about Mr. Wildcat. It was good to see him back at UK and the animosity being suspended, at least for one night. If BCG left, I would love to have him back.

April 4, 200818 yr Pitino was speaking from the heart. Last night was not about basketball. It was about Mr. Bill a dear friend of Pitino's. I felt the compassion and I welled up as he spoke. A good man paying tribute to a great man. I appreciate Rick Pitino for what he did for Kentucky basketball. I respect him for the heart he showed last night. Great speech.
April 4, 200818 yr Great speech. I hope this finally puts to rest any animosity towards Pitino. I never understood the need to boo him or the hard feelings anyway. He didn't leave UK for UL, he left for his dream job with Boston and came back because he liked Kentucky. I've never held any hard feelings towards him and actaully like UL much more than I did before he was there.
April 4, 200818 yr Excellent. Did Tubby speak? Tubby was stranded on the runway in Memphis. He was unable to make it.
April 4, 200818 yr Did you notice that the apparent succession of UK coaches is now Hall, Pitino, Smith and Gillispie?:lol:
