Rick Pitino Keeping A Close Eye On His Son Richard
By Ryan Rapoport
Tuesday night, Louisville Cardinals head coach/basketball Hall of Famer Rick Pitino was spotted at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, watching his son, Minnesota Gophers first-year coach Richard Pitino, man the sidelines. Rick Pitino was able to attend the game because his Cardinals had the week off.
The father was seen wearing a Gophers sweatshirt and scarf, while sitting just behind the Minnesota bench. After the game, it was reported that the two-time NCAA champion headed into the locker-room to address his son's Gopher squad.
In front of one of the best coaches in college basketball history, the Gophers defeated South Dakota State 75-59.
