LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Rick Pitino is ready to his side of the story, this time in book form.
Pitino and co-author Seth Kaufman are releasing "Pitino: My Story" September 4 a book that the publisher says tells "the real story of the ongoing case and the hard truth about how college hoops has been pushed to the brink of disaster by greed, bad actors and shoe company money." The book will cover Pitino's full career from his early days with the New York Knicks to his exit from U of L. A preview of the book says Pitino "lays all his cards on the table in addressing scandals of his past" as well as the "current headline-grabbing investigation that led a packed Board of Directors at Louisville to derail his career."
