I have taken my swings at Slick Rick
0:04
patino for many years I have taken great
0:07
Glee in dancing on his frailties on his
0:11
flaws on his suspensions on his
0:14
probation on his firings because as we
0:17
all know Rick patino will never stop
0:21
lying and yet this much is clear Rick
0:26
patino cares more than you do and you
0:30
probably at the point in his career
0:32
where he shouldn't care so much he's a
0:34
Hall of Fame head coach with multiple
0:37
national championships at multiple
0:39
schools and his resume is
0:42
obvious and yet the fact that this year
0:46
St John's team is a top 10 Squad and
0:51
just swept Yukon just swept the two-time
0:55
defending national champion
0:58
Huskies is more proof positive that Rick
1:02
freaking patino cares more than you do
1:07
and he cares more than the other coaches
1:09
do and he cares more than the other Hall
1:10
of Fame coaches do because all these old
1:12
guys they were all taking their Victory
1:14
laps at the end Coach K Roy Williams Jim
1:20
baheim we saw Laren AER retire this year
1:24
all of these guys at the very end kicked
1:28
their feet up and were resting on their
1:33
patino was grinding at Iona to then get
1:38
the St John's job which is what the
1:41
seventh best job in the Big East and has
1:45
this team is a top 10 Squad that just
1:48
swept Yukon and by the way how are they
1:51
doing it in a full building at Madison
1:57
afternoon he's doing it with a team that
2:00
is a lead at defense and offensive
2:03
rebounding what are those two skill sets
2:08
this is not a supremely talented St John
2:11
Squad there's not a a lot of elite
2:13
natural scorers on it but St John's is
2:17
going to outwork you out hustle you out
2:21
care you and guess who that is it's Rick
2:25
freaking patino it's a rick freaking
2:27
patino the guy should be retired
2:30
the guy should have taken the last job
2:33
of his career and gone to some small
2:35
school in Florida and just basically
2:39
pseudo retired but no he's like I've got
2:42
something to prove he's a psychopath
2:44
this guy is demented this guy is
2:46
completely psychotic and yet it is why
2:49
St John's is winning right now St John's
2:52
they hadn't swept you cun in 25 years 25
2:57
years they've had guys come through
2:59
there they've had a million different
3:01
coaches try to to find once again the
3:04
Fountain of carnea and nobody can do it
3:07
except flipping Slick Rick he is back
3:11
for more revenge and you know what I
3:13
don't even mind it because college
3:15
basketball could use a good villain
3:18
every so often we've kind of streamlined
3:20
and sanitized college basketball Nobody
3:23
Knows the players Nobody Knows the
3:25
coaches coaches come and go all the
3:27
Legends are gone and here is patino
3:31
grinding his final years away at the
3:35
seventh best job of the Big East and
3:38
he's doing wonders with it and you can't
3:40
kill him you can't kill this guy I mean
3:43
he looks horrible his face is pale and
3:47
washed out his eyes are all pink all the
3:49
time but you know what gosh darn it the
3:53
guy's winning yet again it's
3:55
unbelievable it really truly is
3:57
unbelievable don't look now but St
4:00
John's is a top 10 team of the country
4:02
based on effort based on care my
4:05
goodness Rick patino Slick Rick is doing
