Former Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino says he believes that Kentucky governor Matt Bevin is partly responsible for him being fired amid several scandals surrounding his program.
Pitino spoke with SI Now about his new memoir entitled "Pitino: My Story," which was co-written by Seth Kaufman and released this week. The book covers his time coaching with the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics through his time coaching Kentucky and Louisville.
Pitino says while the book is the truth, there is something he is not 100% sure of.
"I think the governor is behind me being fired at Louisville," he said.
