Richard Pitino Jr is the next head coach.

[Caveat]

He obviously got some opportunities he never would have had if his name wasn't Pitino. I'm glad we're getting him after that phase. He's had enough success at UNM to deserve this on his own merit.

Interesting perhaps only to me -- he joins the minority of coaches who never actually played D1 basketball.

2 of our last 3! Plus Skip played at Merchant Marine. Barely counts.

Yeah totally agree. I think its clear we are now getting the best version of him.

NM made a great hire snatching him up after Minnesota fired him the day before. That AD probably deserves a raise for the way that hire worked out.
