The Rick Pitino career arc is going to make one hell of a 30-for-30 documentary one day.
Currently stepping in as the head coach of the Greece Men’s National Team, Pitino, the former Kentucky Men’s Basketball, is now just one win away from taking his squad to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After Greece upset Turkey handily on Saturday by a final count of 81-63, they’re now on the cusp of earning an automatic qualifying bid to the Olympics if they can defeat the Czech Republic on Sunday afternoon.
Greece is one of six teams fighting for one just one spot at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Victoria, Canada.
