[Scotty doesn't know]

People around Pitino are saying that he did show interest in the Sacramento Kings and New Jersey Nets jobs.

Wait, didn't this happen like in 1997 to another team from Kentucky? Oh yeah, it did. Back then he wasn't interested in going back to the NBA either, but know what, he winded up with the Boston Celtics.

I'm not saying that Rick will wind up in the NBA, but its very possible.

Very good point. But I would hope that Rick has to see the writing on the wall that the NBA just is not a good fit for coaches like him. I still do not see him heading out but it is going to be interesting to watch develop over the next couple months. Besides why would Pitino say that he can potentially be leaving when he is fighting to get his team to believe in him and work towards the tourney.
