OT: Rick Pitino laments classless fan
Rick Pitino got into a verbal altercation with a fan last night, and then lectured the media about fans having class.

Let's juxtapose that with the Louisville sex scandal.

Follwed closely by any of the Sandusky clan
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:50 AM ^
Followed closely by any of the Paterno clan
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
Yeah, Rick Fucking Pitino. The moral compass of society. Give me a break
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:39 AM ^
You neglected to mention his not so "classy" past?

Pitino is a class act. You'll never see any of his teams involved with stripper scandels etc. He'll also make it big at the next level if he ever coaches in the NBA..

Pitino actually teaches cotillion class, and knows a lot about manners. Lessons he teaches his players include:
- Always refer to your student host as an "escort", rather than a prostitute
- When mounting a ladyfriend on a restaurant table, always use a crumber in advance of the act of flagrante delicto
- Always pay off recruits in small denomination bills, but not too small. $20 bills work best, and should be crisp
- A gentleman always avoids embarrassing his family when faced with salacious bribery demands, except when he doesn't

This was great and I admit to googling "flagrante delicto" and being glad that I did.
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
"Flagrante Delicto" is straight out of Tim Curry in the 1985 classic, CLUE ....
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:47 AM ^
Poor Rick Pitino...someone called him a name
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:55 AM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
How is that relevant?
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:49 AM ^
I can't start a new thread and don't see anywhere fitting to put this but did anyone else catch the bit about Nick Saban meeting with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg? Their meeting was about "leadership".
To me this was just a really weird headline. Its almost like Satan is trying to get his brand out there and keep up with Coach Harbaugh in the headlines. He even called him "The facebook guy". Lame attempt to stay in the press poser.
February 23rd, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
Are you interested in buying a bridge? The only things that could probably set Pitino off like that are the death of his infant son or his buddy who died on 9-11.
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
I'd never take advice about "having some class" from a man who was cheating on his own wife.
Keep your judgments to yourself, Pitino. You've got plenty that deserves to be handed to you.
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
wait what??
February 23rd, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
I love how everyone talks like this is such a huge crime when it's not a crime and damn near everyone does it.

Seeing him at the Minnesota game made me ask myself, "Well if Rick is in Minneapolis, who's minding the house of ill repute?"
February 23rd, 2017 at 4:59 PM ^
and I was wondering who botched his plastic surgery. He looked a bit like skeletor

Banging Karen Sypher at Porcini....
Running a brothel out of Minardi Hall as exposed by Katina Powell....
Probation....
President Ramsey being fired....
Governor Bevin firing UofL's dysfunctional Board of Trustees....
Bobby Petrino ('nuff said).....
AD Tom Jurich secretly receiving $6 million from Uof L Foundation (SIX effin' million dollars!!!)...
University accretidation in jeopardy....
For ANYBODY from that cesspool of a school (let alone Pitino) to cast aspersions on anyone else is pathetic, hypocritical, comical, _____________ (fill in the blank)
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
comments were directed at him personally (because he's a sleeze) not one of his players.
February 23rd, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:24 PM ^
I didn't realize they played Michigan State last night...
February 23rd, 2017 at 12:54 PM ^
but can't people just go to the game, cheer for their team, maybe boo the other team and the refs, and leave it at that? I get the irony of Rick Pitino giving lectures about exhibiting class. But, maybe some fans could try harder to be better, ya know?

I was in the student section at that game. The rumor is that it was a racial slur/comment about Anas Mahmoud (From a guy courtside in front of the students, surprisingly not us), not the "You s-u-c-k" that ESPN originally reported.
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
There are a few of us around here...
Sorry to hear some asshole would say something like this though - the Dean Dome has normally been pretty tame to opposing teams.
February 23rd, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
Yeah, given the reputation of UNC's non-student fans I was really surprised to see that.
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:16 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
to think, we could've hired him in 2001 instead of tommy amaker. not only would we have gotten the second-smarmiest coach in the state of kentucky, but we could have had his idiot kid in waiting, ready to take over.
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
He should have taken fifteen seconds to calm down
February 23rd, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
...take a walk to the back room of the closest restaurant, bang a cocktail waitress...it's worked for him before
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 1:53 PM ^
what I've heard, the fan said his moms teeth are so yellow that when she smiles traffic slows down.
February 23rd, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
For a time there they had Rick and Bobby. Winners yes but not who you would go to to get your moral compass tuned up.
February 23rd, 2017 at 2:23 PM ^
Because of the vageries of wives' preferences, Pitino very well may have been our coach the last 15 years. Thank you Mrs. Pitino.
February 23rd, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
He wanted Ann Arbor, his wife wanted Louisville. His quote on picking Louisville over Michigan at the time was "Happy wife, happy life".
Who knew we'd be the happy ones?
February 24th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
February 23rd, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
The guy yelled "you suck" and Pitino flipped out and he's whining someone else didn't behave like an adult? "You suck" is about the most benign and impersonal insult out there
February 23rd, 2017 at 6:29 PM ^
but coaches don't flip out at that being yelled at them. It had to be something much worse.
February 23rd, 2017 at 6:55 PM ^
I loved the tough guy routine Pitino pulled on the court too. Begging his assistant coaches to hold him back. Skinny 60 something year old dudes really strike fear into the hearts of men.
Better watch out, that esse Rick is loco yo.
