After nearly two years of legal posturing, the University of Louisville and Rick Pitino have settled the termination lawsuit he filed against the school.
"Really honored to be coaching the Greek National team," Pitino wrote on Twitter. "Have a lot of work and preparation ahead but I'm looking forward to the challenge."
A federal judge had dismissed the case in August 2018, agreeing with the apparel maker that Pitino’s claims first should be handled in arbitration.
