Rick Pitino weighs in on who the next UNC Basketball coach should be...and who it won’t be
Posted Mar 25, 2026
As for his former protege Billy Donovan, Rick Pitino hadn’t spoken to him as of Wednesday but he doesn’t think Donovan would take the UNC job during the NBA season, which ends April 12. "If I was the North Carolina AD and I’m not, he’s far better at his job than I am, I would hire without question T.J. Otzelberger from Iowa State," Pitino said.
