Tipsheet: Coaching carousel yields pain for Anderson, gain for Pitino

The college basketball coaching carousel is gathering speed with the NCAA Tournament down to 16 teams.

Missouri's upgraded contract strapped in coach Dennis Gates for the offseason ride. Meanwhile former Mizzou coach Mike Anderson was sent flying and former Tigers star Kim English is jockeying for a better position.

As expected, Rick Pitino left Iona to replace Anderson at St. John’s. Pitino lives at the Winged Foot Golf Club and he won’t have to move to take this job.

Pitino, 70, has proven he still has what it takes to recruit and coach and a high level.
