to me the Pitt hire of Stallings is even worse than DePaul hiring Leitao. Stallings was in danger of getting fired.

If you're a coach, do you feel like Pitt will gravitate to a bottom feeder status in this league? First off, you've got NC and Duke, plus there are always a couple of other original ACC teams that will be good in any one year. Then add Louisville and Syracuse. These schools pour money into basketball. And Pitt's priority is going to be keeping up on the football end.

It's going to take some time to sort out the new pecking order, but it begs the question: Is Pitt really a good job anymore? Maybe it becomes the Nebraska, Washington State, Ole Miss of the new ACC. The fact that three of our coaches aren't interested in this ACC job doesn't say much about Pitt's potential in basketball.
I would hope that this also says something about the potential of our league. Although clearly we aren't having the same success as the ACC----yet


IMO jfan you are correct. BE coaches (thinking in terms of X, Butler, Creighton now) don't need to "jump" to other schools...as they are already at "destination" schools, in a top conference. Coach Willard saved his hiney with this years performance and his squad should be respectable the next few years. If you are a basketball coach - you want to be in the Big East.
