We need a good mafia nickname for little dicky jr.
Italian, slicked back hair, track suit-wearing, pinky ring-sporting, diminutive and bumbling son of a former boss who doesn’t live up to what the scummy Don did when he was running the family.
Or if he was southern he’d be Junior Justice, son of Buford T. But he ain’t. He’s a guido.
If any of you have ever seen Resivior Dogs you remember “Nice Guy Eddie” played by Sean Penn. Nepo baby who you know has used his daddy’s influence to keep people from f*ckin with him.
Do your magic HN, you guys are all wittier and funnier than me. Don’t let me down. I want a good, solid mafia name for this dude because you and I both know senior has close friends and participates in the five families.

Getting boat raced by almost 30. Not very good. They’ve beaten Marist and Le Moyne….barely!

I wouldn't get let in the door of that place if I had just gotten hit by a car and needed to use the phone.

Beat Marist by 4 points and almost lost that game. Marist plays in a gym that's smaller than most 3A high school gyms in Iowa and still has bleacher seating.
Little Richard shoulda stayed in New Mexico where he was winning. Must think he's the same guy his dad was. I mean he probably is a scum bag like Big Richard, but he doesn't have the basketball skill.
Coaches like him I just can't fathom. I read a while back that the guy has never played a single second of basketball in his entire life. Not middle school, not high school, intramurals, nothing. How in the absolute hell does he get guys to buy into taking coaching from him? I was a baseball player and I couldn't imagine having a coach who had never played the sport at any level whatsoever. There'd be zero credibility when things even slightly weren't going well.
He's in some sort of weird alternate universe where he can only probably coach really high-level college players. If you put him in as a middle school or high school coach how the hell is that guy going to teach ball handling, shooting, passing, etc. to kids who don't have any fundamentals already?

I don't know I get more a Frodo vibe. He reminds me of a hobit.

Santa Clara has ripped everyone they've played this year. Personally, I have always found Pitino the Younger to be very respectful of the Iowa basketball program and I'd bet he probably finished just about .500 against Iowa while helming the Yellow Rodents.

I used to think all the same things about Pitino, but he's actually the exact opposite. I still listen to the top sports radio guy from my time in Minneapolis (Dan Barreiro), who is your typical cynical, sarcastic (although very smart) former sports columnist. He's got no time for generic coach speak on the radio.
Pitino still comes on his show from time to time, years after being fired from Minnesota, because he and Barreiro enjoy the banter they have. Plus Pitino loved the Twin Cities and likes checking in.
I have a good buddy from high school who lives in Edina, and he and Pitino's kids overlapped in some little kiddie sports stuff back when he was coaching the Gophers. He said Pitino was great about showing up and watching like any other dad.
He's super self deprecating on the radio and honestly hilarious. Very self-aware. He still has maintained a good relationship with the AD who fired him (hard to imagine many big time coaches ever calling into radio shows for free to chat with radio hosts who used to be somewhat critical of them, in the market in which they were fired, or staying in contact with the AD). He also pokes fun at his father when asked about him. Calls him out for being overly obsessed with basketball and winning.
