Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Louisville coach Rick Pitino is a candidate for the Sacramento Kings coaching job.
So let me get this straight; the best the Kings can do is Reggie Theus ficional coach from Hangtim on NBC Saturday mornings and now they are looking at a coach that has a 192-220 record as a coach in the NBA. Sounds like a plan Maloof bros.

I know Pitino is a smart man. This is evident in his degree from the University of Massachusetts. For this reason I cannot see Pitino going back to the NBA, unless Pitino is that mad that Coach Calipari got all the love so far this off-season.
It is also odd that Pitino’s son, Richard, a former Louisville assistant, took a job on Billy Donovan’s staff at Florida recently. Still, there is zero chance he jolts for Sac-Town–zero chance. First of all I doubt the Kings could afford him. He makes in the area of $3 million per at Louisville and I don’t think that is in the Kings neighborhood (see Reggie Theus).

So, as I was saying… Rick Pitino is not walking through that door folks…
