Casual Hoya’s award-winning head coaching candidate series rolls on with the University of Minnesota’s Richard Pitino.
As you likely already know or deduced, Richard Pitino is the son and namesake of Louisville’s hall of fame coach Rick Pitino. Richard went into the family business early, working as a manager while a student at Providence, a program that his father had taken to the Final Four two decades earlier. After graduation, Richard became an itinerant assistant coach, making six stops in eight years, including twice working for his father at Louisville and serving for two years as an assistant on Billy Donovan’s staff at Florida.
