Rick Pitino is leaving Euroleague to return to college basketball.
Iona has hired Pitino as its new coach, Gaels' athletic director Matt Glovaski told CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.
The news comes shortly after CBS Sports' Matt Norlander reported Pitino informed his Panathinaikos B.C. players on Saturday that he planned to return to college hoops. According to Norlander, Pitino reportedly will finish out the Euroleague season if it resumes, and he has already returned to the U.S. to be with his family. The league suspended the season due to concerns over the coronavirus.
