Carino on Kadary Richmond
- Thread starter Piratz
- Start date
I wouldn’t worry about NIL either if I had Repole or some other billionaire jocksniffer hanging off the end of my knob.
you think our nil situation would be worse, better, or the same with Pitino. No doubt in my mind we’d be way ahead. Repole has been at SJU for a while and getting them players for years. Pitino brought his involvement to new level that Lavin, Mullin, and Anderson didn’t. Buying players isn’t new. See Kyle Anderson or the many posts about the Villanova Wildcat$ on this board. Repole could’ve been doing this for over decade. Unless of course you think Repole is a stand up guy and over the years only wanted to pay guys on the books. LOL
Is that how you would describe Kurtz if he was doing the same for Shaheen?
It depends. Would Kurtz be as obnoxious and thirsty as Repole? I guess I’d learn to live with it either way, But that’s how I’d see him. Someone at Seton Hall would have to find his phone number first, though.
Pitino brings money, influence, energizes a fan base. He also changes the Administration’s behavior. When you hire someone at his level you hand the keys over.
It's amazing how people don't understand that. They refuse to answer the question that is so obvious, would our NIL be better under Pitino? Seton Hall found religion, St. John's found a program changer. I've convinced myself we're better humans for not hiring him. In the long run 11th place is better than winning a championship with guy who will do anything for a win. LOL
If I hear him say one time he didn't know if he would ever get another chance I'm going to scream. You just know if SHU offered he would have been in Willard's former chair before we finished asking the question.

Much much better
Would have been much better with Willard
I think we know the answer to that lol
12pts, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers yesterday.
and a heady guy in charge every second
Directing players where to position on fast breaks, directing players who to guard in transition, just two easy examples
We have always agreed on Pitino. However if we would have called him he would have blocked our number immediately. There is no question he wouldn’t ever consider us for a nano second
Also, idk about digging up old posts because you’re also the guy who literally bet several posters that KW would be fired by year 3 and never see a year 4..and made this claim several times
So like all of us you seem to win some and lose some around here
Amount of sour grapes by Seton Hall fans over St Johns, Repole and Pitino never ceases to amaze me. You would be licking his jock strap if Pitino and OR Repole were part of Seton Hall. Alas though we have Priest scandals and poverty NIL
I think I've been pretty consistent over the years about how distasteful I'd find the idea of Pitino coaching Seton Hall. I know he's a great coach; his record speaks for itself. But no, I would not be doing anything of the sort.
(And yes, Seton Hall has plenty of reprobates to push out the door. I just don't want to bring others in though the other side.)
Where would Pitino be if Mike Anderson had a very good year in 2023? His shot at SJU was never a guarantee. In 2022 he would've jump at the second any big east school called, especially one within 15 minutes of NYC. He would've been in Willard's chair before Willard started packing. I think he would've gone to Xavier, Nova, Georgetown, Butler or Depaul.
pitino and miller getting jobs at the catholic school leage after losing their job in disgrace says all we need to know about the BE. this is more forgiveness than jesus expected i think lol. if repole went to sh and we could have milked that to get one of them...i assune a big yes. of all the schools out there we had more boosters sent to jail i bet lol
LMAO. So true. Isn't it amazing how recruiting went down after they went to jail. hmmmmmmm
That bounce pass on the fast break in the 2nd half was a thing of beauty.
Zero chance..less than zero
He regarded Iona as a better job than SHU
I have heard him describe SHU before..he basically thinks we are a middle school
BS
Pitino said he would never leave Iona for anyone. Until St John's offered. He realized single bid league life was not for him.
Pitino would have listened and there was considerationat the school to my understanding.
I think if offered he would have come to Seton Hall when Willard left. Polar opposite of what you said.
Did anyone notice the play when he drove into the paint with his man on his hip, dribbled in a half circle around Zuby and Kalk under the basket.
All the get Kalk and his man stuck on the outside back hip of Zuby and then gave Zuby and easy lay off pass for a layup/dunk?
Dude is unreal. And many of our posters didnt understand what they were watching with him.
Pitino said a big part of their second half plan was to attack the rim and do stuff to get Kalk deeper, under the basket, so he wouldn't be as effective disrupting shots, whether because he was blocked by the rim, too deep, or could get sealed by another guy (like your example).
Fair enough. But many on here have told us it's NEVER the coaches fault at SHU. It's always the players who cannot execute the coaches vision (but the players still were not allowed to be criticized lol).
So if we follow that thought process. Smooth Operator still had to execute what Pitino wanted.
then they are as wrong as the kadary doubters. i am a sha fan and i have a hard time coming up with one positive theme for this season.
Exactly. No different than the posters who thought Whitehead coached the team or getting a new coach would get us to the 2nd weekend of the real tournament.
It was a good piece, but I couldn’t but help and notice the slant/bias by Carino in that he avoided perhaps the most significant issue folks bantered about preseason - would Kadary with his reputation, deserved or not, work with Pitino in his system and old school approach. Even when talking about NIL and $$ being somewhat irrelevant if the pieces don’t mesh, buy-in and play together, he gave the credit to the player for buying in win out mentioning the Head Coach who might be the biggest reason everyone bought in.
In fairness, R.J. Luis had off-season surgery for shin splints that really hampered him last year and is a much improved player. Zuby has transformed his body and his game. Kadary has sacrificed a lot, but without these 2 Johnnies are nowhere near the team they are.
Pitino made a comment that Kadary needs to spend more time in the gym on his own to fix his shot. In fact, his FT percentage has really tanked this year, something like 57% after shooting in the high 70s for us.
That said, he does so many other things well and can take over a game when needed. He's the perfect addition to that team.
Richmond has missed eight games in his college career out of a possible 164 -- those two and the six with a stress fracture in his back. Again, it was apparent he was off in the Creighton game. Maybe the thinking was get some rest, heal up and be as healthy as possible for the rest of the season.
I'd agree the communication was poor but I'm loath to accuse a player of not wanting to play in that spot if he is able. I'm in no position to judge and neither are you. As you say yourself, he played through other issues. I think it's apparent he felt he couldn't go.
Well you got me on the Willard prediction. I didn’t realize how terribly the NIL would affect the sport. If you have enough money you can win regardless. He still doesn’t have an offense but when you can pay really good players that makes your offense look functional.
You know what they say, if you don’t ask you don’t get. SHU doesn’t have the Alumni that a blue blood does. They shouting open the checkbook for a guy with a Pitino like name who will instantly bring NIL money. SJU wasn’t much better than DePaul a few years ago. To Rick 2 years to make them a championship contender.
If he did what he did with SHU imagine what he works have done in 2 season with what was left at SHU.
