... in 1989, new Kentucky coach Rick Pitino hired his first assistant, one Herb Sendek from Providence. Sendek, 26, was first hired by Rick at Providence as a graduate assistant. The team and coaches would later become one of the most beloved team's in UK history. (I dare you to take a look at that team picture and not smile.) After Sendek left Kentucky, he would go on to coach Miami (OH), N.C. State, and Arizona State. Not a bad resume if you ask me, as he's been successful everywhere he has gone.
