Rick Pitino wants a Final Four at St. John's to pass John Calipari

Only two coaches in the history of college basketball have taken three different schools to a Final Four: John Calipari and Rick Pitino.

Both coaches have made jumps up, down, left and right, finding historic success at all (well, most) places. Calipari hit that prestigious mark at Massachusetts, Memphis and Kentucky, while Pitino did it at Providence, Kentucky and Louisville.

The latter is the only coach to win a title at two schools — at least he was before Louisville’s 2013 championship was vacated. He also won one at Kentucky in 1996. The former has only done it once, bringing the Wildcats their eighth national championship in 2012.
