UNLV basketball coaching search: Louisville's Rick Pitino interested in opening, per report

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the Louisville head coach has interested in the UNLV opening.

The UNLV coaching search is just under a week old and there have been plenty of opinions and reports about who is interested in the coaching opening, but the biggest name to be attached is now Louisville's Rick Pitino.

Despite Pitino's name seeming like per fantasy, the Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that there is interest in the Louisville coach heading West, a place he has never coached outside of a three-year stint with Hawaii from 1974-76.
