Cavaliers Head Coach Rumors: Rick Pitino Has Discussed Job with Dan Gilbert

Pitino is currently the head coach of Greek team Panathinaikos, which he led to a Greek Cup Championship in February.

The Hall of Fame coach is best known for his coaching in the NCAA, winning two championships—one with Kentucky in 1995-96 and another with Louisville in 2013-14, which was vacated in 2018.
