Rick Pitino appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” Monday morning to discuss the recent news that he is now the new head basketball coach at Iona.
Patrick and Pitino covered the ground you’d expect them to, but then the conversation turned towards Pitino’s thoughts on scheduling Louisville and/or Kentucky. Pitino said he had actually received a congratulatory phone call from John Calipari, and would be more than open to playing a game against the Wildcats in new York City, perhaps for the Jimmy V. Classic.
“I spoke to Cal, he was nice enough to call me,” Pitino said.
