Richard Pitino Jr is the next head coach.

Here you go paul. Can't believe you don't know Rich, though.

Do you have a (semi) action photo of him running the 40 yard dash at the combine dressed in his suit?

That does make me laugh, and he does it to raise money for St Jude Children’s Hospital, so it’s all good! In 2024 he was timed at 6.25 seconds, so I don’t think he’ll get drafted.

Good interview. Hoping for the best once we have a team. I just can't get past the feeling that Pitino and Xavier are a strange pairing.

It was past time to go outside the family. It may end up being exciting to have a different approach to the Xavier Way.

It is a strange new world of college basketball. The old way does not likely work. In today's world there is likely no "Xavier Way" but rather whatever the Coach's way is. Roll with it. We will likely be on the 3-5 year coach change cycle for the foreseeable future.

by the time Pitino is ready to move on, Kelsey will have won a national championship at Lousiville already and ready to take on the challenge of bring Xavier to their first championship(unless Pitino has already gotten us there by then)

IMO Villanova will regret not hiring Pitino, Jr in stead of Willard.

I also prefer Pitino, Jr. over Miller.
