So I know you might see 16 wins and think nothing of it.

But what matters is this.

Okay, no one can say Rick was never confident.

That dude has every reason to be confident.

He’s the single best coach this game has ever seen.

Doesn’t matter where he’s at, he wins.

Doesn’t matter what style he plays, he finds a way for his team to make it work.

I say all that because he was right.

He won at least a share of the Big East since Looie was there.

Yep, that’ll do it.

I know the Big East is down, but it’s St. John’s.

We haven’t seen them relevant in 30 years.

That all changed the moment they hired Rick Pitino.

No one should be surprised.

No one should ever doubt Rick Pitino.

The dude is the best coach we’ve seen.

He’s the answer to who do you want to coach the team to save Earth against the aliens.

The man lived up to the hype and it’s only year 2.
