MN Daily: Richard Pitino likes the Yankees, but does he like the NBA?

per the Daily:

Pitino has always been a big Yankees fan. He and his uncle used to go to games in the summer. He grew up in a house of nine kids -- eight Red Sox fans and one Yankees fan -- him.

His official response when Boston won the World Series in the fall: "no comment."

How big of a Yankee fan is he? His dog's name is Bernie, after former Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams.

Go Gophers!!

Oh god, I was really starting to like Pitino too. After the Twins' history with the Yankees in playoffs, how soon until we start calling for his head? I'm ready to go right now.
