Sports Speak Up! Should UNM sweeten deal with Pitino?

Mar. 23—SO SEE IF I have this right. Nuñez is in talks with Pitino to give him a raise and contract extension, yes? How about we flash-back to Steve Alford; he signed a new contract and two days later split for UCLA. Are we about to experience deja-vu?

OMG ... IN YEAR two of a six-year deal, you want to extend a guy with marginal success? How about after year 3 or 4 when you show me you're not a one-season wonder and you know how to close out close games and coach some defense. If this guy wants to bail after 2 years, he's not committed to the program anyway. Let him go.

AS I READ about the basketball coaches' revolving door, it reminds of an old saying that can apply to coaches. "There is no honor among coaches." In the same vein as a fan, no allegiance to a team, just the team that wins. No, that won't work.
