OTish- Pitino on whether he's ''Coach #2''- ''Doesn't matter if I am or not''

Submitted by Chitown Kev on

Pitino also said he was discussing former Louisville player Terry Rozier's sponsorship deal with Adidas in phone calls with Adidas representative James Gatto.

The FBI complaint says Gatto had two phone conversations on May 27 with a phone number used by "Coach 2" and another one on June 1, the day the Courier-Journal reported Brian Bowen enrolled at Louisville.

Asked if he is the "Coach 2" listed in the FBI's criminal complaint released Tuesday, as a law enforcement source confirmed to the USA TODAY Network and the Courier-Journal, Pitino said it "doesn't matter if I am or not."

In the meantime, Ricky is selling his home in Louisville and getting the f*ck outta dodge

It kinda matters, vampire man. It kinda matters a lot. So much so that you lost your job and the FBI is involved, vampire man. Kinda matters, just saying. P.S. You're a vampire. P.S.S. It matters.

You're right. It lost to Dances With Wolves...OK, I can see that, barely.

Forest Gump beat out Pulp Fiction; I have no idea why Pulp Fiction lost to friggin' Forest Gump.  Pulp Fiction remains the only movie I actually went to see in the theatres three times. Fugk it, either movie should have beaten Forest Gump

Of course, vacated wins do not translate to wins for those teams which were the original losers, as it were, but then in our case, given how that particular game seemed to go down, it kind of feels like we should be given that one retroactively. We won't be, but it feels like we should.

Terry Rozier hasn't played at UL in 3 years but Pitino claims to have spoken with the adidas rep 3x on the phone 4 days before Bowen falls into his lap because he was discussing Rozier's shoe deal. That's the worst lie I've ever heard!!' Rozier has his own agent but apparently Pitino is negotiating for a player that left in 2015. What a lying sack of sh!t

I can't wait for this guy to start answering questions in a federal courtroom, just to see how well those lies sound then.  Will he believe them?  Because nobody else will...

regrouping for his comeback - like Kwame Kilpatrick. In fact, Rick and Kwame may get some quality time together to work on their comeback plans. Good luck with those!

He claims he will be vindicated and that he is leaving town and laying low until that time. It's not like an NCAA investigation where there is questionable proof. The FBI had wiretaps and documented conversations. I hope he plans on laying next to D'Antonio in those weeds for a long while.
