‘A desperate, angry bitter person.’ Kentucky’s governor responds to Pitino’s attack.

Rick Pitino sounds like a “desperate, angry, bitter person,” according to Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, who was one of the former Louisville men’s basketball coach’s targets in his new book, “Pitino: My Story.”

Bevin joined Leland Conway on NewsRadio 840 WHAS on Wednesday morning and was asked to respond to assertions leveled by Pitino and his book that the governor was somehow involved in his removal from the university.

“It’s pretty sad. It really is,” Bevin said.
