Cavs Rumors: 'Zero Truth' Rick Pitino Is Being Considered for Head Coach

The Cleveland Cavaliers said there is "zero truth" to the team being interested in hiring Rick Pitino as their next coach.

“We are, respectfully, not interested in him at all. No conversations with him by Dan (Gilbert) or anyone else,” a source told Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.

Pitino, 66, is currently the head coach at Panathinaikos of EuroLeague. He took the job in December, a little after being fired as the head coach at the University of Louisville after a pay-for-play scandal.
