[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1521292, member: 588522"] He's just like his dad. That snippet they had of him in the huddle telling his players we (the illini) were playing rougher, to take cuts harder cause we'll probably be whistled for the foul, or to lift the chair from under our bigs when we backed up (talk about a backfire, though it was a terrible call), While he isn't all together wrong, those kind of comments are pretty bush league, especially mid game. Guess it isn't his fault they got aired out on TV, but I feel like you can tell a lot from what coaches say under pressure. Groce had a tendency to motivate, BU has some good things to say (both negative and positive), and you can tell guys like Beilein and Izzo have some great insight. But Pitino sounds like he's scraping together anything that [I]might [/I]help his team, rather than diagnosing what to change to improve. Then to complain to the media about getting DMW questions, labeling him essentially a nobody, can't stand it. I'm sure they didn't prepare for DMW nearly as much as Ayo or Kofi, or Trent, but it's gotta be some sort of pride thing to not acknowledge what kind of impact DMW has on the game (or maybe he honestly didn't know). With Crean and Ryan gone from the B1G, there really aren't many coaches I dislike, but Pitino is pushing Fran for that number 1 spot. [/QUOTE]
