You kind of went against yourself.
You said slick Rick couldnt win the title with that team, but then you went on to mention the last team the Pitino had player wise was all lost to graduation, so in other words, Tubby won it with Pitinos recruits.

And IMO, Tubby doesnt even touch Rick by basketball standards.

I really do not understand your point. I do agree that Rick is a better coach then Tubby. Anytime you take over for someone, you are primarily playing with their recruits. What I was stating was that Tubby was not left with a loaded deck as four key players from the previous runner-up team left early or graduated. A previous poster posted that he took over a team that was loaded and should have won the national championship with any coach. In good ole fashion terms, that is bulls@#t.
