August 14, 200917 yr Eric Crawford weighs in. I wouldn't send a son to Pitino for Sunday School class. And if we tell our kids to emulate any sports figures today, we do so at our own risk. But I have known Pitino as a real person. I have watched him professionally from close range. And if the question is, would I send a son to play for him? My answer is yes, I would.
August 14, 200917 yr I would let mine play for him. I wouldn't let him dine with him. Well, since they have a thing called a "pre-game meal," I guess that means you wouldn't let your son play for him?
August 14, 200917 yr Author Well, since they have a thing called a "pre-game meal," I guess that means you wouldn't let your son play for him? Just no post game dessert! :lol:
August 14, 200917 yr Well, assuming the kids are 18, do the parents really have a choice? Yes. The parents have to sign the LOI...
August 14, 200917 yr I would let my son play for him. I wouldn't let my daughter or wife near him, ... but that is a different story.
August 14, 200917 yr Yes. The parents have to sign the LOI... That is one I can't figure out. That makes no sense to me.
August 14, 200917 yr Many know I am a UofL supporter and UK...I know that is weird for some to grasp...:lol:. I told Preston Knowles when he was selecting a school, was to pick the right coach for him. I really feel he did. I am sure that Rick and the team wil get blasted on the road games. I do hope that fans wlll show some respect and realize how immature these actions are.
August 14, 200917 yr That is one I can't figure out. That makes no sense to me. My daughter will be 17 when she graduates HS and would be ineligible to sign a binding contract, correct? I would say others fall in the same category.
August 14, 200917 yr Well, since they have a thing called a "pre-game meal," I guess that means you wouldn't let your son play for him? Of course I was only joking. No, I would be tickled to let him play for Pitino. I would think twice about allowing him to hang around you when shopping for music.
August 14, 200917 yr If it is about playing basketball and getting to the next level, great coach. If it is about setting a nice role model as a human being for the next 4 years of my son's life, then he is a poor, poor choice for me to want Pitino to influence my son in a very formative stage as a young man.
August 14, 200917 yr Author Taquan Dean's facebook status today: everyone makes mistakes. I stand behind coach p thru whatever. Like he always told me tell a lie it becomes your future, tell the truth it becomes your past.
August 14, 200917 yr Of course I was only joking. No, I would be tickled to let him play for Pitino. I would think twice about allowing him to hang around you when shopping for music. You don't want your son to grow up and be cool? :confused:
