Rick Pitino has emerged as a candidate for the Sacramento Kings’ coaching job, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Pitino has communicated his interest in a possible NBA return to Kings ownership, sources say, and one league official describes the Maloof family as “intrigued.”
It is believed that Pitino intermediaries initiated the contact. No Kings offer is imminent and so far conversations have been exploratory in nature.
Sources caution that there are significant hurdles that need to be cleared before Pitino could become Sacramento’s coach, but say for a variety of reasons Pitino is feeling the pull of the pros again.
O.K. Why in the world would Rick Pitino leave a successful school like Louisville to coach a Sacramento Kings team that has no hope in the future? Your guess is as good as mine, but who knows maybe it will work out. I hate Pitino because what he did to the Celtics, but there is a small part of me that loves him from his days at Kentucky.
