Pitino on SVT's rebounding last night

When asked about SVT's 10 rebounds on radio post-game show, Rick said he "should have had 16 or 17." What a jerk! First, I cannot see how putting down the kid for being the game's leading rebounder does any good for anybody. Second, Rick needs to fess up and admit he was wrong for not playing SVT and Goode against UK (they were only good for 10 points and 13 boards last night), but he's too much of an egomaniac to do so and would rather put down a 19 year old. I can tell you right now, if I was a recruit, I wouldn't want to play for a guy that's going to publicly belittle my career high rebounding performance, especially on a team full of big men who can't rebound.
