Of course how much of this is coach talk but it all sounded very sincere. I really like the way Pitino poses questions to his players during the presser. He actually said during that his Iona team was better then this St John's team. A real motivation tool for them to get better.Pride97 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 6:19 pm Just watched both post game pressers…
Speedy said Fritz has a back issue and is day to day and thinks he’ll be ready for Charleston. Hopefully that is true. When asked about the negatives of the game he said he has to be careful of what he says - clearly unhappy with the officiating .From the stands it looked to me like he was right to feel that way - not sure if it looked the same on TV.
For the those that are really down on Speedy as a coach, take a listen to Pitino’s thoughts - as high praise as you will hear. It’s on this page :

He also joked that there were 5,400 people - all, his friends and family - and 11 people from St. John's there yesterday.
And he said they would play UConn at Carnesecca next year and media guys didn't know if he was serious or not (it seemed he was).
He's always an interesting listen in his pressers. He's very honest and open, and often amusing, about things.
