I don’t know how Pitt comes up with the buyout money, and then have enough to hire a promising coach and staff.
Part of me still wants to let him have one more year. Not because Pitt basketball will improve dramatically, but because the buyout becomes more manageable (meaning more money to hire a better coach and staff) and I would have more confidence that the players would be much more responsive to whoever came next.
But it is at that point (I know, well past for many fans), that Pitt’s administration may have no choice.
This team, as I keep writing, has not improved.
