Rick Pitino has “been there, done that” as far as the NBA is concerned. Twice actually. Is the third time the charm?
Will Rick Pitino take another stab at the NBA?
Not at the moment.
Although rumors around the Internet circulated that the Sacramento Kings were in interested in hiring him as a head coach, ESPN.com reported that contact with the Kings was initiated by Pitino’s camp. Sacramento never considered him as it began drafting a list of potential candidates.
But Pitino told Louisville this morning that he had no intention of leaving his current coaching position.
May Sacramento wasn’t interested? Afterall, Pitino’s two NBA stints were with the New York Knicks from 1987 to 1989 and with the Boston Celtics from 1997 to 2001, and neither jobs were successful.
