Panathinaikos head coach Rick Pitino referred to his presence in the “Greens” bench, which will likely be a short one.

Here is what the Hall of Famer coach said in the post-game press conference of Panathinaikos loss to Maccabi Tel-Aviv (84-75).

“I looked at the schedule when I took over, I knew it was going to be difficult. My goal is to help all the young guys improve and get better.

But, I’m only here for a short sabbatical, so I’m trying to get them the best at the best level they can possibly be.

Going into next year, I’ll say to the owner and the general manager, this is what you need, to win the EuroLeague and to compete for the triple crown.”

Panathinaikos currently is at 8-12 and struggles to maintain a play-off push.
