Pitino Says He Has No Interest In Moving
There have been a slew of basketball openings in recent days, as happens most years at this time. This year there has been speculation that some of these schools are after Minnesota Gopher head coach Richard Pitino.
The coach and the University have heard enough and felt the need to respond...
Statement from Head Coach Richard Pitino
"With regard to the reports tying me to other collegiate men's coaching positions, let me simply say that I am very happy at the University of Minnesota. I am grateful to be coaching and living in such a great community that cares so much about this incredible university as well as its basketball program. I am also extremely fortunate to be working for one of the best athletic directors in the country in Norwood Teague. This state deserves a great basketball program and we are working extremely hard to bring them one."
