Rick Pitino has indicated that he would like to have his son, Richard Pitino, back on the University of Louisville basketball staff.

What Rick wants, he usually gets.

With you know who finally tucked away in a Florida detention center, Richard may be a little more comfortable around here.

Coach now owes Billy Donovan at the University of Florida. Big time.

One wonders if Pitino was also involved in the move of former Arkansas coach John Pelphrey to the Florida staff, Pelphrey being a member of RP’s first team at UK.

Better Florida than Louisville.

It’s no secret that Pelphrey used U of L during his recruitment after high school. Kentucky showed no interest until Pelphrey showed at up a Louisville basketball awards dinner. Pelphrey accepted the UK scholarship offer without a second thought.

Have a good life, John, but somewhere, anywhere other than Louisville.
