The Sports Junkies, a radio program on 106.7 The Fan in the Washington D.C. area, reported that Maryland is “heavily pursuing” Pitino for their head coaching vacancy.
“We’re not saying Rick is the guy [yet],” host Jason Bishop said. “We’re just saying that Maryland really likes Pitino. He’s their top dog.”
Iona is currently 24-5 overall and 16-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Gaels are favored to win the upcoming conference tournament.
