1PM presser.

 

 

Looks like he's gone. 

 

I know a coach who can start tomorrow!

Biggest scandal of all time and yet to include the other KY school? Yet?

Long ways to go. This thing is just getting started.

I think they would rather cancel the season.

LOL! He would have to actually recruit Romeo in order to get a commitment.

Crean would go to Romeo's house and talk about how great of a program IU is lol.

Just saw on a UofL board that they are now ready to let Pitino go to make room for Brad Stevens to come take over the program.  Glad to know we're not the only delusional fanbase.
 
You know who we're not talking about?  Arizona.  I read an article on what they're up against, and it is BAD.  They are lucky that Louisville is here to take most of the heat, because they are the next biggest program at this point.  In their case, it looks like it was pervasive for years.  And you look at the crazy recruiting classes Sean has pulled, and yeah, this connects the dots (if you really needed them connected).  
 
I know we're all feeling pretty secure that Archie is too new in all this to really have anything that could stick.  Just the same, his brother is right in the middle of it.  It has to affect him.  

I shared an Arizona article last night

I’ve not seen anything about Pitino. The article I read said they asked Jurich to resign and he refused so they fired him anyways.

They are saying it on the local news here and the radio as well.

That would explain why I haven’t seen it then since I’m 1000 miles away lol

From WAVE Chnl 3 Sports Director Kent Taylor: UofL Board of Trustees asked AD Tom Jurich to fire Rick Pitino and refused. Now both out at UofL.

This is getting mentioned a lot; it's important to understand the reality of the situation:

From an investigative standpoint, it's tricky. When you have a cooperator and an undercover inserted into a criminal conspiracy, the recordings will lead to the people that the case subjects associate with. That doesn't mean that UK, Duke, or any other school is clean, and it doesn't mean that the case didn't go there, but it could mean that this case which succeeded never came into contact with them. And before you think that the folks who are in deep trouble could flip on the other dirty coaches, remember; the recordings are going to be what eviscerates the defendants, and that type of evidence is either already made on others, or will be all but impossible to collect going forward. 

Think of this way:

If an informant and undercover completely dismantle a drug conspiracy from town 'A', that doesn't necessarily mean that the same informant and undercover have any mechanism to dismantle the drug conspiracy the next town over.

Seeing as how these schools aren't just Adidas I would look at Grace at UCLA. Didn't some people hear that "UA got it done" in regards to Wilkes.

Why would they ask Jurich to fire Pitino? What would they say ... "Hey Tom, can you fire Rick. And then after that, we're gonna fire you." ... Clearly, the plan was to remove them both, so why want Jurich to drop the ax on Pitino? As a way to acknowledge his culpability in the whole thing?

Some men take pride in cleaning up their own mess. Might have been a courtesy to Jurich
