Sports names and faces: Rick Pitino, Geoff Ogilvy

Rick Pitino

Louisville's basketball coach says when his current contract ends with the 2016-17 season, that's it. "When you're 59, you're realistic that you don't have a whole lot of years left," Pitino said, throwing a chill into Baby Boomers everywhere. "My contract's going to run out in 2017. I'm not coaching any more after that." The only coach to lead three schools to the Final Four will be banking $3 million in base salary the next two seasons, then $3.9 million a year until his contract expires, so he should be able to scrape by in retirement - as long as he steers clear of one-night stands in Kentucky restaurants.

Geoff Ogilvy

The Australian U.S. Open winner, who has also won three World Golf Championship events, sees a lot of similarities between his sport and surfing. "A lot of surfing is just sitting on the back of your board and just enjoying the place you're at. You can do it with friends or on your own," said Ogilvy, who described himself as a "splash-in-the-water kind of surfer." Ernie Els doesn't see it that way. "You see a wave that big coming at you," said the Big Easy, pointing to a 30-foot tree. "I don't see how you can enjoy your environment. ... No, golf is not like surfing. You don't get killed playing golf."
