Daily News | Cardinal O’Hara’s Izaiah Pasha, committed to Rick Pitino at Iona, has NBA dreams
His mom the Allen Iverson fan always in his corner, Pasha has developed into a top player with skills"you couldn't teach," his coach Ryan Nemetz said.
“My mom always wished that I would be a baller since the day I came out,” Pasha said, sitting atop bleachers inside O’Hara’s gym before a recent practice.last month. “She had fallen in love with the game because of Allen Iverson.” “I always liked AI. He was even my screensaver on my computer,” Laureano said with laughter in a phone interview. “I just had a huge crush on him growing up.
That skillset combined with those measurements is likely what lured Iona coach Rick Pitino. For Pasha, it was Pitino’s resume that sealed the deal.Pasha, 17, had visited several Division I schools, but never quite felt a fit. Iona, he said, was going to be his last visit. If it also didn’t feel right, his plan was a year of prep school.
Pitino and Louisville later sued each other. A 2020 settlement ended with Pitino’s personnel file being changed from termination to resignation. Last month, the Independent Accountability Resolution Process declined to penalize Pitino, determining he did not commit a violation and “demonstrated he promoted an atmosphere of compliance.”
