Rick Pitino returned to Louisville for one night, but whether you're in the city or out of town, you can hear what he had to say right here.

The Hall of Fame basketball coach, who just released his new book Pitino: My Story, spoke Friday night at the Omni Louisville Hotel about his coaching career and legacy during an exclusive event presented by the Louisville Courier Journal, which is a part of the USA TODAY Network. College sports reporter Jeff Greer conducted the interview.

The event was Pitino's first public appearance in the city since the quick end of his tenure last fall as the University of Louisville's men's basketball coach after the FBI investigation into college basketball ensnared the team. Since that point, he has relocated to Florida, declining to return.
