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.

Rick Pitino Isn’t Going To The NBA

In just seven weeks, Johnson will learn his fate in this new competition. On his Web site, KevinJohnsonforMayor.com, the Democratic nominee for mayor of Sacramento has a video which discusses why he is running for office. Born and raised in Sacramento, Johnson hopes to make a difference if elected.

I can honestly say, I didn’t know much about Kevin Johnson outside of basketball. I never knew he was politically active. I remember him more for a dunk over “Hot Rod” Williams, which you can see below.
