'If We Lose, I'll Leave My Team In Cincinnati' - Rick Pitino Will Not Accept His Son Beating Him This Weekend, Warns St. John's Players The Consequences
Yeah, winning 900 games is an accomplishment and everything. That's not the story here. It's Rick Pitino vs Richard Pitino in the Big East. It's this, but real:
I do need Rick Pitino to live up to this promise though. If Xavier gets the win, he needs to fly back solo and make St. John's take a commercial flight the next day. You can't threaten them with a vacation to beautiful Cincinnati and then not go through with it. You're not one of the 4 best coaches this sport has ever seen and be a liar. Yeah, I said top-4 coach of all-time. Think in some order it's Pitino, Jim Calhoun, John Wooden and unfortunately K.
This is an important moment though. I know we've seen Pitino vs Pitino before, but that was New Mexico. This is Big East basketball. This is the last true major conference because they play a true round robin. This is about being a good dad. You know the moment I'm talking about - potentially from both sides here. The moment your kid beats you in something athletic? Time to retire. Fake an Achilles injury, say you can't play anymore and then never talk about it again. It's a rite of passage for any father/son relationship. Think about when you were growing up and your dad for sure just backed you down into the paint over and over again to win a 1v1 game like 21-12 on 21 layups. This is basically the coaching version of that.
Lean into the wrestling angle. Put some stakes on it, loser has to shave their head, something like that. All I know is St. John's players now know the deal. Win or you're left in Cincinnati.
