Former Louisville, Iona Player Shares Interesting Story About Rick Pitino

Former Louisville and Iona player Quinn Slazinski, who is finishing up his career at West Virginia, shared an interesting story about Rick Pitino during a press conference on Tuesday.

Slazinski said he failed to block out during a practice once, which led Pitino to give him a funny warning.

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this — it was kind of out of love, I didn’t box out, and this was in practice, and he goes, he looks at me, I don’t know if I can say this,” Slazinski said. “Out of love, he said he will chop me up in seven pieces and send me back to Detroit or Houston or wherever the bleep I’m from.
