Many fans hoped that new athletics director Heather Lyke might consider a short hook for Pitt basketball coach Kevin Stallings. On the heels of a disappointing 16-17 season, some are hoping that Stallings is on the hot seat.
But Lyke said recently that she is offering her support for Stallings and a quick dismissal doesn't sound like it's happening anytime soon. Well, in terms of an immediate move, anyway. From Jerry DiPaola of the Trib-Review:
"I've had some great conversations with coach Stallings ... I'm excited about working with him."
"My biggest question was really finding out what he's about, why he wants to be at Pitt and what's his vision for building this program.
