Will Rick Pitino ever win a National Championship with the University of Louisville?

    Probably not, but it won't be from lack of trying. I think Pitino's recruiting suffers from a current dissatisfaction among basketball players with the college system. They desire the "get-rich-quick" scheme and move to the NBA, often times before they're ready. I also think that Pitino lost much of his fire and desire after 9/11. Events around him at that point seemed to reorient his life, sex scandal notwithstanding, and he just seemed to become a different person. You can't blame him really and he doesn't really need to prove his abilities anymore. I think he's just coasting through to retirement which is not really acceptable given the money that he's being paid...but he'll probably have some great teams in the future and one of them might luck into a NCAA championship. We'll just have to wait and see.
