Will Rick Pitino Leave Louisville for Sacramento Kings?

Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino might leave his current job for the vacant head coaching position with the Sacramento Kings. Well, at least that’s what the rumors floating around the sports world are saying. However, Louisville does not seem to reciprocate the same kind of interest in this story. According to the Sports Illustrated article about it, the Louisville athletic spokesman, one Kenny Klein, has not addressed the issue.

So the question on most college basketball fans’ minds right now is: Would Rick Pitino be wise to leave his job with Louisville? Obviously, being the Final four Blog, we have a little bias. We’d love to see him stick around the college game. However, money does seem to have a lot of influence these days. Rick has a good team, a great program, a winning history and an overall great situation in Louisville. If he left for the Kings, he’d have a young but struggling team, an insecure job at best and, well, almost no chance of winning a championship anytime soon.
