Iona’s hiring of Rick Pitino is a questionable move
Editor’s Note: The original version of this column, which appeared on The Setonian’s website on March 26, 2020, contained some factual or other reporting errors as set forth below:
The author stated that Mr. Pitino got into trouble with the NCAA for extortion. The Setonian has no evidence that Mr. Pitino was “in trouble with the NCAA for . . . extortion. . . .” Mr. Pitino was the victim of extortion.
The author also referred to “. . . a criminally inclined coach.” The Setonian has no knowledge that Mr. Pitino committed a crime, was charged with a crime, or will be charged with a crime.
