Rick Pitino on UK, Coach Cal, Cat fans in Yum, comparison to ’96, and whether to continue the rivalry

University of Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino didn’t have much to say following his team’s latest loss to arch-rival Kentucky, the seventh loss out of eight games since John Calipari arrived in Lexington.

He needed a day to decompress and then we chatted about the game on 840WHAS Radio on Monday, December 29. Pitino didn’t shy away from talking about Coach Cal, UK’s potential, abundant UK fans in the KFC Yum Center, and much more.

Pitino enjoys life away from basketball during the few weeks a year that he’s not working but he has no plans to walk away from the game he cherishes. He loves his Louisville Cardinals and still honors his Kentucky coaching years with a massive Big Blue memorabilia room in his home, but he is frustrated with his Louisville teams continually coming up short against Calipari’s Wildcats.
