Well it’s good to see my first recruit land a big time opportunity to the D1 level. We’ve had numerous players and coaches go on to reach their goals. Keep contributing and teaching the next generation to reach their goals. Blessings!

Some asked what are you doing now? Well I am still pouring in knowledge and helping players reach their goals. Moving in silence.
I have been in the coaching business for a very long time. I am proud to see some of my former assistant coaches and players fulfill their dreams. Some former players became professional athletes and some are coaching. Truly amazing.
Congratulations to my guy Coach P. Job well done and a well respected man and a true friend.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
After 20 incredible years of leadership, mentorship, championships, and changing lives, Coach John Pigatti has decided to step away from the sidelines as Head Boys Basketball Coach at South Suburban College.
Words truly can’t describe what this man means to so many people — players, families, coaches, and communities. Personally, I absolutely love this man because of what he has done for young Black men through basketball, education, mentorship, and opportunity. Privately, I affectionately call him “White Jesus” 👊🏽🤣🖤 because his impact has been nothing short of legendary.
And the numbers? They speak louder than words:
🏆 Career Record: 572-111 (.84)
🏆 Highest winning percentage and record among ANY college coach over the last 20 years
🏆 National Champion
🏆 Hall of Famer
🏆 Builder of men, not just basketball players
But statistics only tell part of the story.
His true legacy lives in the countless young men he guided toward degrees, scholarships, four-year schools, careers, and better futures.
South Holland will never be the same. Region IV basketball will never be the same.
Job well done, my good and faithful servant.
Coach Pigatti… thank you for everything.
You will truly be missed. 🖤🙏🏽🏀@JohnPigatti @DailySouthtown @SouthtownSports @scottybscoutView quoted post on X
Another staff member from Greg Popovich staff going after a National Championship (Becky Hammon and Steve Kerr). If the Spurs make it then we have another one. Popovich tree of coaches at the professional level carries a lot of weight.
We’ve all been fired, or maybe just felt slighted in a major way, and dreamed of Mike Brown’s type of revenge.View quoted post on X
He just swept the owner who canned him twice.
Column on coach who is proving a lot of folks wrong
