This thing is nuts.

I'm glad that he didn't end up in A2.

He's certainly not the calibre of a Michigan Man.

I request a title change to "LOL@Pitino"

Thanks and good day.

And now his lawyer says that he didn't pay for her "abortion" he simply "bought her some health insurance".

I don't think it's a big deal (beyond the damage to his relationship with his wife). He didn't break any laws technically. It's slimy, but nothing that won't be forgotten over time IMO.

He had an extra marital affair. He's a BBall coach. Who gives a shit. Cept for like Chris said, the wife thing.

If you were a parent of a young man and a rival coach came to your house and was talking about Rick Pitino and then mentioned his "sliminess" and his "affair" I would think that would be quite ridiculous. I dont see how it makes you a better coach to sit there and deface another coach, but I think it happens.

well, certainly coaches are role models to their kids. But, with the proper spin he can fix that. He can talk about how he's learned from his mistakes and he knows better than anyone what you need to do in order to avoid those situations. He could almost make it a positive when talking to recruits.

And its not like every parent he talks to is an angel or something.

If you guys haven't read the part of the story about her marrying Louisville's strength/conditioning coach, you must.

Too weird.
