Here's a fun mental image:
Rick Pitino is playing in a basketball game today. Yes, actually playing.
According to Cardinal Connect, Pitino is participating in a masters basketball tournament in Coral Springs, Florida, and today at 1:30 p.m., he will suit up for the Redbirds as they take on the Bedford 55. At 64 years old, Pitino will participate in the 55+ league, his first return to competitive basketball since playing for UMass in 1974.
We've gotta have some readers in the Coral Springs area, right? Pitino's team plays today at 1:30 p.m., tomorrow at 5 p.m., Thursday at 5 p.m., and Friday and Saturday should they advance in the tournament.
Someone please get down to the Coral Springs Gymnasium and document this for us.
