Pitino's staff cut in half?

Rick Pitino's Louisville staff may have a different look next season.

Sources tell CollegeCarousel that assistant Ralph Willard, who came to Louisville last year after being the head coach at Holy Cross, could return back to Worcester this season, after they fired his replacement.

Also hearing that Louisville assistant Steve Masiello could interview for the Iona job, which was opened after Kevin Willard left for greener pastures. Masiello is not necessarily the leading candidate, which also includes Norm Roberts, who was fired by St. John's, and Richard Pitino, Rick's son who is an assistant at Florida.
