Pitt Athletic Director Heather Lyke has made it no secret that she still believes in Jeff Capel as the head coach for Pitt basketball and in his efforts to revive the program into being relevant in the ACC and college basketball.
After stating Capel "hadn't lost the team" in a press availability in February, Lyke took Tuesday to further address her confidence in Capel to lead Pitt basketball at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. While the men's NCAA Tournament is currently in the sweet sixteen round, Pitt ended its season with its worst record under Capel at 11-21, 6-14 in the ACC.
