Despite rumors swirling that he's a possibility to fill the Arizona opening, Rick Pitino said he is definitely not considering a move to Tucson.
"I'm not a candidate for the Arizona job and I never was," he told SI.com on Wednesday. "I am not interested in any job. I am definitely returning to the University of Louisville."
Pitino, who has rebuilt programs at Boston University, Providence, Kentucky and Louisville during his career, was thought to be at the top of Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood's list of full-time replacements for Lute Olson, who retired in October.
This really sucks badly. I mean, there are plenty of other good coaches out there, but Pitino's one of the best. We would have been amazing with him! The guy's a dynamite recruiter and a great coach. I'm getting extremely nervous about where we're going to go from here.
