Yes @Rick_Pitino was wanted by many boosters but administration @UCLA said NO ! No doubt he would have brought national SUCCESS to Bruins & would have given them STAR BILLING to compete for the entertainment dollar in Hollywood!— Dick Vitale (@DickieV) January 10, 2019 Famed broadcaster and former coach Dick Vitale took a swipe at UCLA administrators for making a hard pass at the option to hire Rick Pitino to replace ousted coach Steve Alford. Vitale used the wrong Pitino twitter handle (@realPitino) so it is unlikely that the former Kentucky and Louisville coach will even see it. Checking the Vitale tweet's reply thread, no one seems to be in a forgiving mood regarding Pitino's rocky ride at the University of

David Padgett on this year’s Cardinals, Chris Mack, Pitino in Greece, and the new Padgett basketball camps
Former University of Louisville basketball star and interim head coach David Padgett popped onto the radio to share his views on this season's Cardinals, the progress of his former players, new head coach Chris Mack, how Pitino in Greece makes sense, and the new Padgett basketball camps. Great insights from a guy who played, became an assistant coach, and then led the Cardinals to a decent season in the midst of turmoil. As for Pitino now coaching in Greece, have a look for yourself. Rick Pitino is not messing around!#GameON pic.twitter.com/jeDCSLoPVj— EuroLeague (@EuroLeague) December 28, 2018
Griff breaks down Chris Mack’s Cards, Donovan’s Jazz, and NBA dreams
Darrell "Doctor Dunkenstein" Griffith popped into the radio station to throw love at new University of Louisville basketball coach Chris Mack. Griff says Mack's style offers players more creativity to improvise, a definite change from Rick Pitino's more deliberate style. Griffith also talked about the tedious tasks ahead for UofL football coach Scott Satterfield, the amazing artistry of Donovan Mitchell, and the cushy life of Utah Jazz players compared to his era. Salt Lake City's growth since Griffith's playing days amaze the former Jazz star. He says Louisville would prosper immeasurably by snaring an NBA franchise, a campaign impeded by Pitino and former UofL athletics director Tom Jurich. Darrell also talked about his new restaurant Griff's, now open at 2nd and Liberty

Expect a wild ride in the Rick Pitino book coming next month
Former University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino has promised to go after the three people he says got him fired. In his forthcoming book, Pitino has promised to tell "the real story" of his removal and the dismissal of athletics director Tom Jurich. Pitino blames the school's "board of traitors" (trustees), especially chairman David Grissom, trustee "Papa John" Schnatter, and interim school president Dr. Greg Postel. The former coach also says his book "will not be kind" to Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin. Pitino and I will discuss his book on WHAS radio in a few weeks. Follow me on Twitter @terrymeiners for show updates.
