In September, Rick Pitino said he did not like his chances of a return to coaching after his scandal-plagued exit from Louisville, writing in his autobiography that “my coaching career is possibly finished” and telling ESPN that “I’m not really thinking about coaching again in the future because I’m not in control of that. I feel it’s over for me.”
Or not.
Pitino said in an ESPN story published Monday morning that he will spend this basketball season immersing himself in the NBA game in the hopes that he can land a head coaching position in professional basketball.
