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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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.
