Pitino: “The most enjoyable in my career Panathinaikos”

THE Rick Pitino It has been and will continue to be one of the most sympathetic personalities that have gone through the Greek parquet in recent years. Either when he was on the bench of Panathinaikos or on that of her National Greecethe American coach has always been the master and friendly to all.

Indeed, as he himself pointed out in his statements, his presence in “Clover” is the most enjoyable he has made in his long career. In addition, Pitino referred to the hints he had made to the then Prime Minister for the smoking in indoorswhile he likened the Euroleague With the Warriors.

In detail what he said:

“I left a great job in Louisville and I found myself in Greece where I didn’t know a single man, my wife and my family followed me. In the half -time going to the locker room there was always a cloud of tobacco, which drowned me to death. Everyone was smoking. I went to the prime minister and told him that they should stop smoking on the stadiums and restaurants. And now they have stopped smoking

The experience of training Panathinaikos was the most enjoyable I have done in my coaching career. Euroleague looks like Golden State Warriors, with 35 -year -old players who did not succeed in the NBA and his attacks were excellent. “
