Rick Pitino Wants Father-Son Series
Louisville's Rick Pitino wants to schedule a three-year series against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are coached by son Richard Pitino.
Rick Pitino told ESPN on Friday that he is hopeful the two conferences will pair Louisville and Minnesota beginning next season, with the game in Minneapolis. Pitino said he would then want to start a true home-and-home series, beginning at Louisville during the 2016-17 season.
Louisville defeated Minnesota in the Armed Forces Classic last November at a U.S. Coast Guard base in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Louisville beat visiting Florida International in 2013 when Richard was coach of the Golden Panthers.
Richard Pitino has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the opening at Alabama after Wichita State's Gregg Marshall turned down overtures from the Crimson Tide. There are no indications that Pitino has spoken to Alabama officials.
