No matter what you think of Rick Pitino’s various personal and professional issues everyone can agree on this: between the lines, the guy is an all-time great.

Unfortunately, things haven’t gone smoothly, not that none of it is his fault.
Hall-of-Famer Pitino returned as the pandemic gripped the world, and it has hit his new program at Iona especially hard.
