Former Louisville coach Rick Pitino is looking to return to college basketball.
Pitino informed his Panathinaikos B.C. players on Saturday that he "will return to coach college basketball this year," according to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander.
He reportedly plans to finish out the Euroleague season if it resumes, and has already returned to the U.S. to be close to his family. The league suspended the season due to concerns over the coronavirus. Norlander reports Pitino has been tied to coaching jobs at Iona and Grand Canyon since he knows people connected to both schools. Iona's coach Tim Cluess stepped down this week due to health issues, and Pitino is "considered the leading candidate" for the vacancy.
