00:00Let's start with the timing of this extension for Rick Pitino, because it's just days after
00:05the season ends. Zach, Rick Pitino gets an extension here. What does that immediacy tell
00:10you about how St. John's feels about where this program is headed right now?
00:14They've been talking for quite a long time about reworking his deal and adding a year to it. I
00:22mean, they'd love to see him win 1,000 games here. He had mentioned that winning 1,000 after getting
00:28to 900. And yes, he's 73, but he's not slowing down, obviously. So yeah, I mean, they did right
00:36by him. Entering the year, he was the sixth highest paid coach in the Big East, which is absurd. So
00:41they made him now the second highest paid behind Hurley. He's making around six-ish a year,
00:476 million a year. They also gave him a much bigger pool for the staff, which is well-deserved. The
00:54school had said they were going to do everything it took to make sure this is his last job. So
00:59give them credit for stepping up here.
