[Observing]

^ Let's remember, Tubby won the title with the team that Rick had lost with the previous year! So, yes it was Ricks team, but it can be said that Tubby did with the team what Rick couldn't!

It COULD be said. Of course it would be farcical.

And what SHOULD be said is, that had Pitino not assembled,
coached and taught that team, the Tubster would NEVER
have gotten his one whiff of the Final Four.
