The Puerto Rican National Team's quest to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games may not end after Wednesday night's game against Uruguay, but Rick Pitino says his time as the team's head coach will.
"I'm done tonight," Pitino said on Wednesday's edition of "Ramsey & Rutherford" on 93.9 The Ville. "I've had three Puerto Rican coaches with me and I hope I've done right by them where they can take over. I haven't seen my family in three months, and that's quite a sacrifice."
Puerto Rico has been mathematically eliminated from earning one of the four automatic qualifying spots for the Olympics that are provided by the FIBA Americas Championship that they've been participating in.
