Though if you look at his body of work, you find that, overall, he's done well. It’s easy to have that perception after UL’s disappointing conference record last year (I believe they were 6-10).

I also didn't think they were that good in 2004-2005 and got mostly lucky. But you're completely right... Okay, I’m talking out of my ass.

In 2004-2005, they went to the Final Four on the shoulders of Taquan Dean and Francisco Garcia. They finished 33-5 that year, and were consistently in the top 10. I realize last year was rough for them. Dean couldn't quite carry the team, and the transition to Big East bball proved difficult. However, they were on the bubble for an NCAA bid, and they did make the NIT semifinals. All told, Pitino has done pretty well at Louisville, and has had only one year of (recent) Big East experience.
