I am disappointed big time in what Rick has done. However, I am not one of these fans that will erase all the good he has done. Remember how exciting it felt to have a National championship under our belt again? Thanks to Rick that was possible and achieved. Not to mention the other final 4's! Also, I did not like it when he went to UL, but lets be honest - It was a good move! It made our State known again for the great basketball is use to be known as. Now I was shocked to find out about what he has done. The way I see it, this is now between UL, his family, his God, and his own mind. I hope he recovers, I truly do. He was one of the brillant minds in Basketball during my lifetime (only 31 btw). I thank Rick for what He brought to UK. I am also glad to say that he wasn't at UK when this happened. Mr. John Clay and the others of this board,

Pretending this was an isolated incident, consequently inviting further scrutiny, makes him an idiot. Invoking 9/11 makes him a classless jerk.

Didn't he miss games in late '03-early '04? Was his "medical problem" actually something else? I’m a little curious about the timing of the affair and his leave of absence for “medical reasons”.

If living in Louisville is all it takes to opine about Pitino at the WWL, they need higher standards. Asking someone who co-wrote a book with him to give an opinion is like asking my mom if I'm a good boy. Lastly, how do you sway the undecided? You talk about 9/11... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YOh-rpvjYg Gawd, Forde is such a Pitino shill.

I disliked Rick at UK, I didn't like him in Boston, and I don't like him in Louisville. As I replied to a courier-journal reporter's piece, Rick admitted to lieing to recruits. His admission was in the Louisville newspaper. He said sure he lies to recruits, everyone does it, and that makes it OK. At UK, he lied, in Boston he quit on his players. Now it seems so many seem to be sooooo surprised at his lack of morals. And what is with bringing up 9/11?? Come on, his Holiday tournament, the Minardi Classic, is about him, Rick Pitino. I am sorry mister Minardi lost his life, but so did some 3,000 other people. If he wants to have a tournament to help everyone of those families, that would be different, but he has to make it about him.. his best friend, his brother-in-law, etc... Heck Joanne has more loss from the 9/11 than rick did, but he doesn't even acknowledge that!!! The man simply has no morals, NONE!!! Get over it. If any of you want to win so baddly that you are willing to give up your morals, then you should be happy with the guy. Get over it, he is exactly what he is, what he has been, and what he will always be. 'Basser I can not believe anyone is surprised.
