NBA legend Rick Pitino was forced to change his phone number after lip reading fans got hold of it after he was seen mouthing it while having a conversation at Madison Square Garden.
Pitino was watching the New York Knicks’ Game Four of the playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 70-year-old is regarded as one of the best coaches of all time, with a career of 40 years-plus in basketball, taking charge of college, NBA and international teams.
And Pitino, who’s now the coach of St John’s University, was back at the Garden to cheer on the Knicks, who he coached during two separate spells during the 80s - as an assistant between 1983-85 and then as coach in 1987-89, against the Cavaliers.
