Rick Pitino Hates His Basketball Team
After St.Johns fell to Seton Hall on Sunday, St. John's new head coach, Rick Pitino, stated how unhappy he was with the program's current state and his team.
Pitino went on and on about how his team lacks toughness, how they can't guard anybody without fouling, how the other team is always shooting more foul shots than his team, unathletic plays, and how they don't move their feet on defense overall. You get the point.
The cherry on top was when Pitino was asked if he could do things over again, would he attack his first off-season differently, and Pitino's response " I had no choice. We just took who we could get and who was available. We had no choice".
Should I say I'm shocked by Mr. Pitino's comments, No! Everyone knows how big of jerk he is.
Pitino is throwing his team under the bus because, let's say, why it is. Pitino can't coach these players, and he doesn't want to be the guy who looks terrible, so he goes on and on about how his team blows, but usually, that falls on the head coach.
Pitino takes no accountability and thinks it's okay to blame his players, and who in the world would ever want to play for this guy?
Pitino has had a track record of events that have led him to be fired in many places and even got his 2013 National Champion vacated at Louisville.
Pitino didn't just complain about his basketball team; he also went on about how they have horrible facilities at St.Johns.
It's safe to say that Pitino wants this season to be over now, and he's not exactly having the best of times at his new job.
