Our AD and coaches, mostly coming as they do from blue blood programs, never truly seem to get what an odd combination they have with Pitt, in terms of media and law enforcement hostility to our sports, and the and fanbase PTSD/schizophrenia. With the former, it must amaze that a Pitt basketball player would get thrown under the bus immediately after a legal transgression that happens frequently in every major program (sad to say). And in this case, why something really fairly random and innocuous as a 5-0 start would be important here. Maybe there is something to the idea of hiring “Pitt guys (gals)” because they’d get it. They lack the skills, resources etc to DO much about it but at least they wouldn’t be amazed and dazed by it.
