Please allow me to correct a grave error in my CelticsLife article of October 18, 2017. Rick Pitino had just been fired from his coaching position in Louisville, and I foolishly wrote that he would be "gone from basketball altogether." It appears I may have been wrong.

Rick titled his book, Success is a Choice. Well, so is failure. I have a level of bias against the man mainly for the fact he came close to destroying my beloved Celtics.
