I Knew Rick Pitino Was Just Like Us..... Well Not Really

"Louisville coach Rick Pitino told police that he had consensual sex with and paid for an abortion for the woman who has been charged with trying to extort him, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported on Tuesday.

Karen Cunagin Sypher was federally charged in April with demanding cars, tuition for her children and finally $10 million. Police interviewed Pitino, who is married, regarding the incident last month, and according to the newspaper, he said that he gave the woman $3,000 to have an abortion." ESPN

Well I guess we can overlook the whole him being married thing like every case like this, and move onto the him paying 3,000 dollars for an abortion. That's absurd, it was called the 300 dollar mistake back in the day, has the inflation gone up that much? That is highway robbery. Anyways, Pitino is one of my favorite COLLEGE coaches of all time and like when bad stuff happens to a lot of my favorite people, I put it in the back of my mind and ignore it. So with that being said, I can't wait for the Louisville/ Kentucky game this year, it's going to be awesome.

Where Have I Seen This Go Wrong Before?

Rick Pitino has emerged as a candidate for the Sacramento Kings’ coaching job, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Pitino has communicated his interest in a possible NBA return to Kings ownership, sources say, and one league official describes the Maloof family as “intrigued.”

It is believed that Pitino intermediaries initiated the contact. No Kings offer is imminent and so far conversations have been exploratory in nature.

Sources caution that there are significant hurdles that need to be cleared before Pitino could become Sacramento’s coach, but say for a variety of reasons Pitino is feeling the pull of the pros again.

O.K. Why in the world would Rick Pitino leave a successful school like Louisville to coach a Sacramento Kings team that has no hope in the future? Your guess is as good as mine, but who knows maybe it will work out. I hate Pitino because what he did to the Celtics, but there is a small part of me that loves him from his days at Kentucky.
