We just got a guy who was in the running for two other jobs at two other high major programs. Mack had no other suitors and was tweeting his return to CoC as soon as X said no.

It may not work out, but it was not a small time program decision. Pitino has a lower floor but a higher ceiling. I am excited for a blank slate!
Sorry but I’m not buying that either nova or WVU wanted him that badly. Both would have paid him more and given him more NIL resources. That being said I’m sure his dad being in conference also played a part in the decision.
