Pitino And Kent Staying

Seth Davis, wearing his SI hat, gets word from Louisville Coach Rick Pitino that he will remain Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino, meanwhile, told Sports Illustrated on Wednesday that "I'm not a candidate for the Arizona job and I never was."

"I am not interested in any job. I am definitely returning to the University of Louisville," he told SI.com's Seth Davis.

Last week, Pitino also told reporters there was "no truth" he was interested in leaving Louisville.
Also Wednesday, former UA assistant coach Mike Dunlap accepted a two-year deal to be associate head coach at Oregon, and the Ducks will retain head coach Ernie Kent, the Register-Guard in Eugene reported.

Some thought Gonzaga's Mark Few, also rumored to be a UA candidate, would be interested in the Oregon job if the school had not kept Kent.

Here's Ducks coverage from KMTR-TV...
