I've been a Louisville fan for 24 years, born and raised in Louisville, but the BS they put Pitino through, for what? it's ridiculous and unforgivable and the karma Louisville Men's basketball has received is deserved. This man is a fantastic coach and is full of passion and inspirational life advice. His philosophy on and off the court is amazing. I have never been happier for a coach like I am for Pitino in this moment of his career and life and I truly hope St. Johns kicks everyone's a$$.
Good on ya Rick! Hope you can bring your team to Rupp for a return game in MSG maybe n you get that Jersey retired rightfully deserved. GoBigBlue!!! Y'all got a gooden
I have no issue with the hire but to attempt to fire Mike Anderson for CAUSE is a low vibration move. To attempt to tarnish a man who has always ran a clean program is pitiful. He didnt win enough and so you fire him, but honor the contract. SHOW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MORALS
Rick Pitino was fired by Louisville for impregnating the wife of his staffer, getting caught by the FBI in a bribery case, having strippers servicing his players, and getting Louisville put on probation because of recruiting violations!! This sick dude Pitino STILL got schools to hire him AFTER all of this mess?? HOW?? It's a disgrace!! St. John's should be embarrassed!! They're so desperate to be relevant that they hire this disgraceful man?? A Catholic school??
Pitino's the biggest coaching disgrace ever!! Louisville fired him for a reason. Did people forget about all the garbage this guy did?? Selective amnesia by St. John's because they're so desperate to be relevant since their program is in the toilet??
Pitino won’t matter . St. John’s is a catholic arch diocese school with a catholic board of directors of priest ‼️ It is a medical school that recruits Brain 🧠 surgeons. Not basketball players . They will not tolerate certain elements ( ghetto ) kids from the hood . Most the top recruits these kids are one and dones and st Jon’s doesn’t do 1 & done . Yes there will be an influx of players coming in , but when Pitino leaves so will the recruits . St. John’s has no on campus housing or campus life or social life . The only draw is Madison square garden . Respectfully My friends . 💯💯💯💯Oh yeah the arena only seats 7000 or 9000 no good
He's definitely a great coach. He'llwin and he'll stay until he gets a better offer at a more prestigious landing spot. It's also well known that he has a bad reputation regarding his character. Buyer beware!
I was a huge Pitino supporter at UK. Got the pictures and autographs but never actually met him. He definitely gets 100% out of whoever is on the court and is great at turning ok players into winners and NBA picks. Having said that I have a friend that was a cheerleader at UK and she said he scolded her to where she was crying just because she ask him for an autograph for her mom. That was after a home game in her senior year…
As a cradle Cat, I’m very happy for Rick Pitino. My first memory of him was watching my dad cry after Kentucky lost to Duke in 92. The best memories were watching the 96 cats dominate everyone. 97 it was hard to watch Derrick Anderson site on the bench and not be able to do anything for his team. 98 team he gets as much credit as Tubby. It broke my heart that he left us. When he came back to Louisville it really sparked the rivalry. Watching Kentucky win in 2012, beating the cards in the final 4, watching them win it all in 2013, it’s easy to say he’s a better coach than Cal. I’m very happy for the man. Last bit, my mom went to Louisville and dad went to UK (like myself), no wonder they couldn’t stay married. Congrats coach!
he said in an interview in 2019 that "he would never coach again". He also said at some time in the past "I never should have left Kentucky". He then went to the NBA for a short period and ended up at Louisville (kentucky's little Brother). I loved the guy when he was coaching at UK. But he has accomplished nothing since
A undeniably great coach, who comes with a built in elephant size volume of ethical baggage. Saint Rick to St John’s, lol, he never did any of the many things he was accused of right??He used the OJ and Clinton defense, “I didn’t do it” just like his handlers told him to many times, and here he is again. Hide your wives, and watch your basketball players closely, and for goodness sakes don’t expect him to know what is going on in his own program.
It is why Coach Pitino and staff ran right over to Archbishop Stepinac to visit Boogie Fland and Danny Carbuccia. I would love to see Boogie at St. John's. He could be the key PG to lead the way in '24-'25 onward.
He and Jurich were literally cancelled by Kentucky conservatives. Pious judgmental hypocritical religious conservative zealots. Who would vote for filthy immoral p*** grabbing porn star affair having trump and turn around and say things like “ I wouldn’t want my son playing for Pitino”The whole group of people in the city/state wanting him gone for being “ dirty Pitino” Karen sypher/stripper gate etc. elected Matt bevin and let the dude make his own shots about the board of trustee people. They fired him. Then the ncaa( with Mitch Barnhart and other uk influence) dragged ass deliberately and railroaded him and UofL for 6 years. I hope he dominates everyone for the rest of his coaching career and gets all the respect poured on his name that he deserves. All the best to him, it’s just sad because I’m a UofL fan and he should still be here. I will be pulling for him from now on maybe just as much or more than UofL. He is the greatest coach of all time.

Do they have good prostitutes in Jamaica Queens.
None of these idiots commenting care about the rules and law. They must be Republicans.
Being a Knick fan and the amazing work Coach Pitino did, welcome back to NYC.
Good luck coach
Rick come back to Kentucky! Screw Cal haha
Kentucky fan, love you coach. Congratulations on your continued success.
Pitino's the biggest coaching disgrace ever!! Louisville fired him for a reason. Did people forget about all the garbage this guy did?? Selective amnesia by St. John's because they're so desperate to be relevant since their program is in the toilet??
I love Rick. My greatest basketball memories, back when I fell in love with the game, were his UK teams.
Little Ricky. Love Lucy
Happy for you, Coach!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Patino is thinking, “Val, I’d love to get you in a restaurant booth!”
Grew up 5min from st. Johns I love this move it's just 20 years too late

Shanley sold his soul and reputation to the devil.
University of Louisville is learning a valuable lesson. GO WOKE GO BROKE. Congratulations Rick Pitino

Mr Rick Pitino lets get St.John's back to the big East and welcome back to your home town. GO St.John's
Would love to know how the school is budgeting a 6-year contract for a 71 year old man.
It’s hilarious when people tell me Calipari is a better coach than Pitino. Pitino owns Calipari!!
This is great for big east. I'm a uconn fan and I'm happy for St John's. Rick pitino will turn that program around fast. He is a legend.
You might see Pitino and St John’s visit Rupp but you’ll never see Cal and UK visit St John’s in a true road game!
This is PERFECT! I can't wait for the Storm.
I can’t believe this guy’s career won’t die. Bring on the hookers! Shame on St. Johns. Shame on pitino. Blemish on college basketball.
A Catholic school bringing Rick outta the strip club and from getting his assistant coach's fiance pregnant in a kitchen of an "eatery."
OMG anyone know about this guys history? They laud him as some hero unbelievable. 70 years old Hope he fails big time he deserves it!
Wow – that was impressive! Lookout everyone St Johns is going to be ballin and winning under Coach P- Congratulations Coach you're spot on
Coach turned to NY with key transfer from Manhattan College, Heshimu Evans, key to Kentucky and Coach Pitino's championship.
"You win with players."
It is why Coach Pitino and staff ran right over to Archbishop Stepinac to visit Boogie Fland and Danny Carbuccia. I would love to see Boogie at St. John's. He could be the key PG to lead the way in '24-'25 onward.
Rick Pitino will be settling some scores!
He and Jurich were literally cancelled by Kentucky conservatives. Pious judgmental hypocritical religious conservative zealots.

The restaurants in Queens better prepare for reserving after hours tables for Rick and the ladies.
I am so glad my school is getting an amazing coach.. can’t wait to see them in dance next year
NIL is perfect for Pitino. He’s been paying players forever
How long until St. John's is in probation?
