Kentucky Fan Finally Forgives Rick Pitino for 1992 Laettner Play

Rick Pitino shared a letter he received from a Kentucky fan on social media this afternoon.

In the letter, the fan said he forgives Pitino for not guarding the inbounds pass to Christian Laettner in 1992, and once again considers him the best coach in college basketball.

Why did the fan forgive Pitino after all these years? Because Collin Chandler completed a long pass to Malachi Moreno at LSU with a defender in his face.
