Report: Rick Pitino Has Interest in Siena Coaching Vacancy

Former Louisville coach Rick Pitino has been out of a job since October but is reportedly interested in the newly open Siena job, per the Times Union.

According to the Times Union, Roddy Valente, a friend of Pitino's, said the former coach "wants to to discuss the opening with Siena officials."

Valente is also a partner with Pitino in the Kentucky Oaks Coach Rocks and said the coach loves the area around the school in Albany.

Pitino was fired by Louisville after his program was implicated in the FBI's multi-year probe into widespread bribery, wire fraud and corruption in college basketball recruiting.
