Rick Pitino is a champion again.
The former Louisville coach led Panathinaikos to the Greek Cup Championship by beating PAOK in the final 79-73 on Sunday.
Hired in December by the Athens club, Pitino took over a team that featured several players with NBA or NCAA ties.
Florida Gators product and former Memphis Grizzlies point guard Nick Calathes was named the game's MVP after posting 19 points and nine assists.
Panathinaikos reached the final after their semifinal opponent, Olympiakos, forfeited the contest. The David Blatt-led team never came out for the second half in protest of the game's officiating.
