The Upside Down of March Madness is the annual coaching carousel where failing basketball programs desperately try to identify a winner that can return them to glory.
There are always a few hot, coveted coaching prospects out there. Rarely has there been such a sure thing on the market. There is one now.
He actually barely left after the University of Louisville fired him in 2017 following NCAA allegations. Pitino did a stint coaching in Greece, but then three years ago took over at Iona College of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He made the NCAAs his first year and has won 50 games the last two years. The Gaels play Friday in the MAAC semifinals and may still advance to the NCAA Tournament.
• Georgetown has enormous potential and, like St. John’s, gets Pitino back into the Big East where he always made the most sense. "Where I lived wasn't important in the past, and now it is," Pitino told CBSSports.com last month when openly discussing his future."I have no idea what the answer is about where I'll be or what I'll do. I know I love [Iona]. I know I'm eight minutes away [from home]. I know I love Winged Foot. ... I do know that there's certain places and there's 20 or 30 states where I don't want to live.
"I want to coach five or six more years," Pitino said, aware of his age."I still exercise like a demon. I still get after it. And as long as you do that, your mind is sharp. I'm still more passionate about it today than I've ever been in my life.
