By the time February comes around, the questions of and answers by the head coach of a college basketball team without championship aspirations start hitting redundancy overdrive.
First-year University of New Mexico men’s coach Richard Pitino, whose Lobos are 8-14 overall and just 1-8 in the Mountain West after an embarrassing 25-point loss Monday at San Diego State, was hit Thursday with another round of big-picture questions about the future of the program.
And again, he offered up another round of “trust the process” type answers, emphasizing the importance of perspective.
“Bottom line is this: You are judged in our profession,” Pitino said.
