Re: Pitino list

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Correct, with the exception of Riley and Wilkens I believe all coaches are
expendable. Their most important job is to substitute and match up players
during the game. My belief is Pitino may have cost us a game or two. After
we see what he does with Pierce and Forston back we'll know more about
Pitino. Getting soft and making excuses for everyone doesn't make winners. 

Merry Christmas to all.
