The Official UofL Thread (UPDATE: Pitino, Jurich Reportedly Out)

[DA#23]

Watch that interview and tell me this isn't going to become much worse than it already is. Ouch.

Listening to Matt Jones, who is skeptical that these lawsuits are going to go anywhere for decent reasoning: does Pitino really want to be deposed?

This is not going to go well for it.

I have no problem at all with David Padgett and know nothing about interim AD Tyra. But if the rumors are true about a total reboot--maybe even firing Petrino after the season (which I doubt--more likely he leaves for another offer) then will Padgett and Tyra even be kept with their Pitino and Jurich ties or will everyone be brought from outside the program?

OK, back to the dark ages of actually carrying a printed version of the Bible around with me. I wil be sure to hold it up for all to see when I enter one of Bob's restaurants/

Hain't `bout no dark ages. It's about bein' seen.

Meanwhile, David Padgett just hired former Duke point guard Greg Paulus onto his staff.

Looks like I'll still have a reason to hate Louisville.

Yep. He's in total denial. He had better heed what he said about being upfront with the Feds. If you lie to them you will surely go to jail.

[J.Jennings]

Pitino and Bilas interview, his Italian and mafia ties coming out of him now, lying to save face taking it to his grave lol lol lol lol

[Blue Heaven]

Steve Kragthorpe's last win at UL was a Paulus guided Syracuse team.

I for one am ready for all this to fade out& get replaced by dribbling passing &assist on the court to take place!!!!!Also a few three pointers!!!

[Friendsofcoal]

I am tired of this fiasco myself...I’m ready for some hoops to start up!

People can laugh at me or whatever but I feel for the guy and I think there is a chance that he wasn’t aware. If he’s guilty and out here saying the things he’s saying then he’s not right in the head worse than I thought. I’m not a UL fan at all nor a Pitino fan but again, I feel for the guy. Say what you want but he’s a master of a coach and he put us back on the map and I’ll never deny that.

I feel the same way really. The piling-on at this point feels a little cruel to me.

That said, it didn't matter if he knew or not. He would've survived this if not for the stripper thing. You can't keep going back to the "I wasn't aware of what my assistants were doing" well.

Really think so? I don't. In fact, I think Pitino is endangering himself by speaking out at this time and by suing Adidas as I believe he's "begging for more investigation". I think he could see some prison time, honestly.

The fact that he's likely Coach 2 would've complicated things.

But heck, Bruce Pearl of all people is going to come out of this. They'll let you play the "It was my assistants" card once, it seems. Two scandals at the same time is just too much cray.
