I don't really care what you're responding to.
I'll repeat this for you:
Name Pitino's AD. AD is lower profile, lower prestige.
At least make a legit argument when you're complaining about everyone else. Because, if you think back, there is one.
I'll help. Willie Randolph turned down the Cincy manager's job to remain a basecoach with the Yanks. I'm forced to believe Cincy offered him more money. Of course, one could argue profile/prestige still favored the Yankee job.
