Michigan made an offer. UCLA even put in a couple calls. But in the end, former Kentucky coach Rick Pitino wound up back in the Bluegrass State, where his welcome hasn't been so warm. Pitino's new Kentucky home is Louisville, the Wildcats' most hated and heated rival. Oh, not even close.
Pro crowds are like going to the theater.
March madness is the greatest month in sports. I don't mean that from a technical standpoint, who's better. I just love the pro officials as people because I got to know them up close and personal. With the exception of maybe five or six college officials, I didn't know them quite as well. You spend so much time with pro officials, I got to know them personally and liked them a great deal.
