If St. John’s cuts down the nets in San Antonio next month, call Rick Pitino the GOAT … ’cause Dan Dakich says a title win for the Red Storm this year would make their head coach the best ever.

Dakich didn’t mince words during his sitdown with TMZ Sports this week … proclaiming if Pitino becomes a three-time champion with three separate programs, he would immediately vault to the top of the all-time greats list.

“Three different schools, three banners?” Dakich said. “Greatest coach in the history of college basketball.”

He’s the only coach to ever win it all at two different schools … and Dakich made it clear if he adds another ring at St. John’s — Mike Krzyzewski and John Wooden need to clear some room at the top.

Pitino has his work cut out for him to make it happen … St. John’s has a very difficult matchup coming up with John Calipari and Arkansas on Saturday. If it wins that, a potential tilt with No. 1-seeded Florida is on the horizon too.

Not only is Patrick Schwarzenegger breaking the internet with his junk on TV screens, he’s also a man about town gettin’ his sweat on! Take a good examination of these photos of the actor and see if you can bottle up the discreet differences!

Being kind to his mind, “The White Lotus” star went for a leisurely jog in Los Angeles earlier this week and sported a pair of joggers, some sunnies and a ball cap, however, some items appear to be out of order …

Can you stomp on the minor changes?

The husband of the Indiana teacher charged with sexually abusing children by allegedly asking them to gangbang her while wearing “Scream” masks is taking a stab at a new life … because he filed for divorce.

Brittany Fortinberry is the 31-year-old former high school teacher who is facing a slew of child sex abuse charges … and legal docs obtained by TMZ reveal her husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, filed for divorce back in February when a police investigation was just getting started.

As we reported … Brittany is accused of sexually abusing multiple junior high students she met at two different schools. Cops say she would ply the kids with alcohol and magic mushrooms before having sex with them, including one alleged instance where she orchestrated an orgy that had the boys wearing masks from the “Scream” movie franchise.

Police say the parent also told cops Nic approached one of the boys and told him “that it needed to stop until he was of age” and “how disgusting it was.”

The docs say police talked to the parent on Feb. 24 … and Brittany’s husband beelined it to court the following day and filed for divorce after 4 years of marriage.
