Once again, Ron Kantowski was right on target regarding the shameless pursuit of Rick Pitino by UNLV president Carol Harter and athletic director Charlie Cavagnaro ("Time to tell Rick take it or leave it," Feb. 15).

It appears that the efforts of (current basketball coach) Max Good are below the radar scope of the (university) leaders, including the wise Steve Wynn.

I'm paying attention to your work and that of (Sun columnist) Dean Juipe on the subject of Pitino. Keep up the good work, please.
