Governor Matt Bevin calls Rick Pitino a “desperate, angry, bitter” person who blames others

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has publicly responded to criticism from former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino.

Bevin said Pitino is a “desperate, angry, bitter” person who “wants to lay blame everywhere but at his own feet.”

Check out his comments:

“Bevin’s buddy made it clear: Tom was in the crosshairs,” Pitino said in the book.

Bevin said Wednesday the Hall of Fame coach is trying to make sense of his life by blaming others.

“Now he just sounds like a desperate, angry, bitter person who wants to lay blame everywhere but at his own feet, which is where, frankly, so much of it belongs,” he said.
