LOUISVILLE, Ky. — University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino wants the NBA to raise the age limit for the league to at least 20 years old.

The bump, up one year from 19, would require players who go to college to spend at least two years on campus.

The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported that Pitino said he "loves the baseball rule," under which a player can either turn pro immediately after high school or commit to play in college for at least three years.

But Pitino doesn't foresee the rule changing because he doesn't think the NBA Players Association would agree to a higher age.
