Pitino is certainly getting media coverage. I have seen 3 or 4 'headline' articles pop up on Microsoft/Google in the last month. He is going to make St John's a player in the conference. It keeps DePaul & Butler at the bottom most years. But what 2 will usually join them? Providence, Villanova, or... I worry if Mac doesn't last longer than Pitino, Cooley or Miller and we have to hire a new coach.

Pitino is not one to last long, ahem.

Not only not to last long, he is an old relic, will be 71 before the season starts. He has at most 4 years left. Mac is for sure going to outlast him. St. John’s is not going to be magically good this year. I don’t see even a .500 year the first year. Mike Anderson is a better coach than people gave him credit for.

I would take the under on that. I've heard whispers that he wants to be able to relax and watch Doug in the NBA while he can. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done within 2 years.

I've never heard Doug express anything like that - but he's a hoophead from a basketball family - so it's not hard to picture it.
and i can think of a nice place for him to start a coaching career.
