I wouldn't be surprised if Pitino retires (steps down) after this season because of this. At 63 he can probably retire. I can see him do TV for a year and then maybe another try at the NBA level or another school for 2-3 years before officially retiring. If he goes to another school I can see it being a mid-major with money to spend that wants to raise their status (ie. SMU with Larry Brown or Isaih Thomas at FIU). It would be interesting if he did a 2 year stint at Providence to end his career at the same place it started.

What's Pitino going to do in the NBA? He's already proven he can't win at that level. NBA players can actually handle the ball, which renders his press useless.

Basketball players and recruits, not the football team.

But once again, Pitino had absolutely no idea!!!!!!! I guess that could be true since he was too busy nailing waitresses off hours at restaurants.

Whoops. Wrong coach. Annoying college with two major coaches with almost the same name.

And people on this board want to Fire Flood because he contacted a professor.

Where aren't these holier than thou posters screaming about this or where are the NJ.com writers!

Petino is a first class sleaze.

Pitino just signed a 50mil extension, I would think he wouldn't be so quick to walk away from that.

Wow! Watch the OTL clip. It's just disgusting. I don't know how any decent parent/guardian would let their son play for that scumbag Pitino.

Don't worry guys, Jay Bilas has come running to Pitino's defense.
Not only that, he has no idea how this could have been prevented.
I mean, what are we supposed to expect, the ambassadors of the program to have control over the program.

If this happened here we would be crucified.

Bilas brown noses to the big name coaches. I'm not surprised.

Speaking of parents and guardians, I watched the story this morning and was thinking there are going to be some guys in big trouble out there when the woman claimed that many of the parents and guardians who accompanied the recruits took part in the "festivities".

Why is anyone surprised ? I say it's not a big deal and it's not like Rick is going to suffer a major career or PR hit . Maybe he steps down , but the guy survived having an affair in a restaurant and paying for the abortion.
I try not to judge any college coach or player on their personality or morals . Most of the time you find morals lacking with these guys on this level . That's why I say all the time that all that matters is winning , obviously save for a ped state situation .
The guy has won two national championships and took 3 teams to the final four. That's hall of fame in my book , any book for that matter.

On another note, I will never understand why guys who can have sex with women who do not sleep with 30 dudes a week chose to pay or have some one else pay for them to have sex with prostitutes. With Lamar Odem, I heard he dropped 75k in the brothel. For that kind of money you could spend a long weekend in Vegas with suites, bottles, dinners and good looking women that are not paid to have sex with you but do it bc they want to.

Not sure why Pitino would step down. He says he had no idea, and the people involved apparently said he had no idea. That about sums it up.

Confidentiality.

Random girls = potential liability >>>> $75K

Liability = STDs, blackmail

An old joke goes that you are not paying them for sex, you are paying them to leave after it is done.

The parents dont care..they want to send their kids to coaches who are the best and the homes these kids come from are generally poor and broken so the standard isnt going to be the same as some old white guys on a message board

Yes, and demanding that one of his Assistants take the fall.

The details of this story, if true, are salacious.

The madam/hooker was pimping out her daughters, one of whom was potentially a minor at the time. Nice.
One recruit and his "guardian" were banging this woman and her daughter in the same hotel room.
The coach organizing this was doing so, in some cases, three months after he left UL and was at another institution.
Rick Pitino claims no knowledge.

That's obviously true if a guy is married, but if you are single and maybe even wealthy, and sleeping with models where is the liability in that if you are wearing protection and avoiding fathering a child?

PhD: You and I think the same way. However, Lamar Odom was likely a very troubled individual mentally, emotionally and physically. Probably best that he did what he did at a brothel. Who knows what would have happened had he been with "regular" girls. My money is on they would have bailed in a panic and left him to die.

Well said. Hard for me to imagine being in a hole that dark and deep. Must be a scary lonely place.

Civilian chicks are a crapshoot for these celebrities, assuming they are looking to do the dirty.

I see Odom had those whores sign and NDA form before he checked in. This is extremely common with those people.

bac your comment about the families is down right racist in tone--what makes you think that just because you are poor or play basketball you have no morals?
