The relationship of supervisor to Tim Sypher is the one Pinto should worry about. Was Sypher treated any different in his job because of what he knew of the incident. Meeting Cunagin at Sypher's home is ethically inappropriate for the Boss. Why did Tim Sypher marry Karen Cunagin? That is the question that the U of L personnel committee should consider when thinking about the future of Rick Pintino. Tim Sypher, wing man or equipment manager? Here is the deal I would offer Rick Pintino. Work for 1 dollar per year for the rest of your contract. If he doesn't like that then fire him for breaking his contract on August 1, 2003 and file suit to recover money paid to Rick Pintino since. That is a lighter sentence than Pete Rose got. What would have happened if Rick Pintino was the Woman's basketball coach? I think eveyone is focused on the wrong part of the affair.

UL obviously wants the right to fire someone over this type of situation. Which it does. The only question now is whether it will.

Fire a coach for having a fling? Isn't this America? This sounds like Sunday school where someone is preaching the ten commandments. It's strictly classroom gossip...... Rick Pitino is a coach...he coaches basketball.....he is NOT a Baptist minister-or a Catholic priest......judge not lest ye be judged. Is this some kind of joke? Fire a coach for having a fling?

But William and Louis are right. A morality clause is not an illegality clause, and Pitino's behavior definitely fits the legally immoral. [Not the drunk part - puhlease - Dan is taking it too far] I don't care if UL fires him or even feel strongly if they should or should not. But UL has every justification for doing so.
