I was a child when Pitino left Kentucky, but even then I understood that you leave a college job (even UK) for the Boston Celtics. Hindsight is 20/20, but the decision he made in that moment is a no-brainer.
I was glad to see him get his roses. I don't blame him for taking the Louisville job either-- it's not like he said no to Kentucky to go to Louisville and if anything, it added to the rivalry. That's how I've looked at it since the day he took the Louisville job.
I think there's a place for all of the coaches who've won a national championship to come back to Lexington, and I think that this would extend to Calipari once he's retired from coaching or at least isn't at a school that we're really competing with.
