Jeff Capel is the Reason Pitt Didn’t Make the Final 4

Sorry if this was posted before, but I never knew this..

Scottie Reynolds SIGNED to Oklahoma and Kelvin Sampson, but then got out of his LOI once Capel was hired.. and then went to Villanova....

And the rest is history.

And it's Capel's fault we let Reynolds bring the ball up the floor unguarded?

And it's Capel's fault Dixon dribbled into an obvious trap late in the game up 3 points and ready to take command, lost the ball then fouled the defender. Instead of up possibly 5 or 6 we end up up one.

And it was his fault that Villanova shot like 25 for 27 from the FT line.

I think the OP was enjoying some fun trivia, and now you guys are getting a little crazy.

Here’s what really happened , When JC went to OSU Reynolds was told that if he opened up his recruitment Vanderbilt was going to offer , but KS changed his mind so he went to Nova instead . Damm that KS !

Sorry but I have NO sense of humor with anything concerning Scottie "f***ing" Reynolds.

Yeah, it’s a “not so fun” little tidbit.

But who knows who else they would have had that could have changed the game or even the Seedings. That last play wouldn’t have been the same

That’s interesting. And here I thought it was going to be because Capel wasn’t our coach when we were making NCAA tourneys consistently, and if he had been, we’d have had better guard play, which is needed to make deep runs.

Seriously, that’s what I thought this thread would be about.

Up four points ...

Yep....Jermaine Dixon will ALWAYS be my fall guy. That is my only and lasting memory of his time at Pitt, everything else is over shadowed.

And don't forget. Hewas the one who set up shop on the wrong side of Yeynolds, allowing him to take the pass with a free turn down the court.

Up four points ...

Right, make me feel even worse.

To this day I cannot think about that game .. fudge

22 of 23 anyway.

Uh did Reynolds walk from Oklahoma because of capel or because Sampson left behind a tire fire and probation?
