Episode #63 - The Opening Act of Rick Pitino: His First Starring Role On The Head Coach Stage

Episode #63 - Many basketball fans are led to believe that Kentucky, Louisville, Providence, and St. John's are his coaching legacy. But a few remembered where it all began. Pitino's first head coaching opportunity came not on the mainland, but 5,000 miles away in Honolulu, Hawaii 1976. At just 23 years old, Pitino was handed a program engulfed in NCAA violations, public criticism, and uncertainty. Fans and media were understandably expecting the worst, a total collapse of the Rainbow Warriors. Instead, the new Interim head man from New York stepped into the fire and revealed the relentless competitiveness that would define a Hall of Fame career. #RickPitino #BasketballHistory #CollegeBasketball 🏀 Full Episodes & Stories 👉    / @basketballcoaches   Inquires: [email protected] 🔔 Elevate your basketball coaching, insight and knowledge!
