New Xavier men's head basketball coach Richard Pitino is being officially introduced at a press conference at Cintas Center Tuesday.
Rick Pitino was fired at Louisville amid a scandal involving recruits. Here's a look back at what transpired to end his tenure with the Cardinals:
Pitino Pride. A Hall of Fame family that has stood by their father through thick and thin, cheering on the Hall of Fame coach.
He started his career with John Calipari, and it looks like he will end it with Rick Pitino, who will be in search of another Big East title.
Xavier has hired New Mexico men's basketball coach Richard Pitino to replace Sean Miller. Pitino joins his father, Rick Pitino, in the Big East.
Richard Pitino, the son of St. John’s coach Rick Pitino, is expected to be hired as the next head men’s basketball coach at Xavier, according to ESPN. He and his dad will now face off at least twice a year.
Rick Barnes became the winningest active college basketball coach with Tennessee's win against Kentucky in the Sweet 16. He passed John Calipari.
Well, we've hit the George Costanza portion of the coaching carousel. By that I mean: Tuesday night brought a quicker-than-expected development: Xavier was able to hire New Mexico coach Richard Pitino.
