Good call. My bad.
What is the Pitino/UL tie to O'Neil? How'd they become tied at the hip? Pitino hitting that?

I mean, CAPTAIN SUNTAN has it on a good source she was high while writing the book. That should stand for something folks.
Weird how Dana O'Neil and Pat Forde both just spoke to Rick Pitino and received the same quote. Don't they work at different places now?
Louisville needs a Mr. Fix-It -- and it needs somebody other than Rick Pitino to clean up this embarrassing mess. A new direction. A new face.
A new coach whose voice does not stir the thoughts of a sex scandal whenever you hear it.
No way Pitino survives this tawdry scandal of strippers, prostitutes, recruits, U of L players and sex that has swallowed its program for the last 18 days.
No way that Pitino should survive this, an inevitability that I believe even U of L president Dr. James Ramsey realized more than a week ago when his first statement featured support for athletic director Tom Jurich but not Pitino. - Rick Bozich

Only if he knew he's gone, he's just an emotional guy, sanctions similar to what Brown did coming, he's fine.
Crawford coming up on ESPN.
I'd say they're pissed because after all these years of loyalty they're getting nothing in return and the national people are making them look like hacks.
I mean the UL logo has been the backdrop of ESPN the entire day. L[laughing]L.

Damn, Bozo has pushed all of his chips in. Does he write this if he thinks there's a chance Rick is retained?
The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Tomma will hold onto Pitino, if for no other reason than so many are saying he shouldn't. You don't tell TJ what he should and should not do. Plus, I think he permanently hitched his wagon to Pitino with the Sypher scandal. His "if he goes I go" ultimatum to Ramsey may be tying his hands in this matter. He needs to save face, and canning the coach he went to the mat for isn't the way. No, I think they're all in on the rogue employee thing giving them enough cover to justify keeping Pitino. That's why Pitino is so adamant about not stepping down - he's going to make Tomma do something Tomma's ego won't allow him to do.

Can someone give us non-Louisville people the times and stations we should be paying attention to? Links? TIA, wildcat friends.
Nah, if it all goes down then he's toast. They're just not going to knee jerk and fire him and he's obviously not going to resign.
They need legal justification to fire Pitino and not owe him all of that money, so they're not doing anything until investigation concludes. JMO TIFWIW.

I bet the ACC is so proud of their new member.
The ONE group that picked Bennett over Cal for National Coach of the Year. :flush:
Pat Forde of Yahoo! Sports was elected president of the U. S. Basketball Writers Association at the USBWA's annual business meeting during this year's NCAA Men's Final Four in Indianapolis.
Forde succeeds Dana O'Neil, ESPN.com, as president of the USBWA.
Elected to the board for three-year terms were Matt Norlander, CBSSports.com, as District I representative for Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, and Seth Davis, Sports Illustrated/CBS, and Jeff Goodman, ESPN, as at-large representatives.

If they're smart, he's toast...move on as quickly as possible.
If he's still there, it's still in the news, on parents minds, etc.....no brainer.
Even my most delusional Cards fan friend who had the FanBoy mentality this whole time now says "he has to go, now".

SAE is right. They are gonna have plenty of cause to fire him. It's just a matter of getting their ducks in a row. They'll quietly pressure him into retiring, IMO. He really needs to do himself a favor and STFU right now, though. He is doing nothing to help himself and I'd guaran-damn-tee the athletic department wishes he'd do the same.
I think he's gone before the season but I doubt it's today. Like SAE said they're doing there due diligence. They already have a pretty good idea of whats going on. Nothing that came out today is any real news to them I'm sure. Other than looking real bad publicly. But yeah, as for UL and fans getting out in front and firing him, putting an interim in and self imposing sanctions is absolutely the move. Don't really see they have a choice.
I'm sure Jurich and Ramsey are in "save my own ***" mode right now. McGee isn't going to be the fall guy. Pitino is. We saw that in the only thing the President has said.
@UnfrozenCatfanLawyer ESPN said they reached out to the athletic department yesterday for quotes in their story and they declined comment citing respecting the process of the NCAA investigations. Definitely sounds like Rick decided to go into business for himself today and hit up a few of his buddies to get out what he wanted out.
He's been doing that the entire time which leads you to think he's not that involved in the process. He's trying to fight for his job.
I think you all are thinking too logically about this, not to say you're wrong. But otoh I don't see HOFCRP resigning and ending his career on the eve of the season. If we were still in the summer, yes. But he's going to have to be fired/suspended to NOT coach this year imo. And it'll be a miserable year for the school if he's being trotted out there on national TV with this story hanging over every broadcast, presser, etc.
He did this same **** when UL was trying to join the Big 12. He publicly took the complete opposite position of the athletic department. This might be a case of Jurich letting him hang himself with his own rope, b/c he's just making himself look worse.
I think you guys are underestimating Jurich's hubris, but it does seem like Rick is acting outside the blessing of the athletic department. Almost like his job depends on McGee coming out and saying "Rick didn't know." Maybe it does.
