A surprise visitor during public tours of the new KFC Yum! Center was Rick Pitino, the University of Louisville basketball coach attired in his infamous White Out wardrobe. Well, not really. It’s a life sized cutout of the coach, which was strategically positioned court side.

I hope to get some tickets so I can see him up close and listen to him scream at the refs. I think a red belt would be pretty sweet!~
… How about a white tie? And he could dye his hair white as well to compete the equation.
Rick Pitino actually did show up for a while Tuesday. A friend of mine had his photo taken with Rick Pitino and the cutout. Quite a souvenir.
He needs a white belt to go with that oufit.
