Rick Pitino isn’t second-guessing his decision to bench RJ Luis at the end of St. John’s season-ending NCAA Tournament loss to Arkansas in the second round.

In an exclusive clip obtained by The Post of the final episode of the Vice TV docuseries, “Pitino: Red Storm Rising,” Pitino says he made the right call.

“Looking back on my career, I’ve made some good timeouts, some good moves. Not putting a guy on the ball [in the 1992 Elite Eight game against Duke and] Christian Laettner, in hindsight seeing what happened, I would’ve put a guy on the ball,” the Hall of Fame coach said. “100 percent the right decision not playing RJ Luis in that game — 100 percent.”

The final episode will feature Pitino going more in-depth into the decision to sit Luis. The benching drew national headlines for days.
