I never figured out why Pitt hired Wannstedt in the first place. He struck out with Chicago and Miami, yet they hired him. Pitt was a sorry looking bunch yesterday. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Alan 's message, "Great day to not be a Pitt alum. When (not if) Wannstedt is fired-- what will happen to Gattuso? Any chance he'd come back to Duquesne?" on Saturday, November 27, 09:45:36am

Why wouldn't Pitt look at Gattuso? (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, November 27, 11:54:34am

This seems possible except that Pitt will be under extraordinary pressure to get it right--undeniably--and Gattuso will be seen as part of the old guard. The AD won't be able to sell the "well-he-did-it-at-Duquesne" approach. So if Gattuso is on the outside looking in, I hope we'd approach him. (NT) -- Alan, Saturday, November 27, 11:58:19am

I've heard from reliable sources that at the Duquesne Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner Gatusso said that he'd like to come back to coach the Dukes. Perhaps his comments anticipated a collapse of the Panthers, resulting in a head coaching change, including all or most of the assistant coaches. Jerry Schmitt's contract expired at the end of this season. Given how the Dukes ended the season on the upbeat with a 7-4 record, a 3rd place NEC finish, & return 14 starters for next season, I'm not so sure that it's time for Schmitt to go to make room for Gattuso.
