In September of 2018 Rick Pitino “unofficially” announced that he would be retiring from coaching, just like he announced a few months earlier on the Dan Patrick show that he’d never do another interview again. In both scenario, no one believed a word out of his mouth. How could you?
Coming from the guy who once led us to believe that David Padgett’s season was over (only to play in the next game) as well as trying to pull a fast one in saying Mike Marra was the best high school shooter he’d ever seen, it shouldn’t be a big surprise when what he said isn’t what he actually meant or believed.
