For a moment there, you had to laugh out loud. Rick Pitino sat in a crowded courtroom Wednesday and testified that this Karen Cunagin Sypher woman whispered to him, unsnapped his pants in a booth at an otherwise empty Italian restaurant and proceeded to have sex with him. "Very briefly," he said. Oh, and we're all supposed to feel better now because he says the session was brief. It doesn't really matter, of course, whether Pitino used the entire shot clock or fired prematurely. Sex in a restaurant is sex in a restaurant, a particularly tacky and mindless act in any context, much less that involving a married man who is the most visible face of the University of Louisville. If he's the custodian of a basketball program that demands players to show discipline and sound judgment in their daily lives, how is Ricky Dicky supposed to be taken seriously when he couldn't control his sexual appetite at an actual table where people eat and drink in a well-regarded establishment? I mean, that's just gross behavior. For too many reasons to count -- including how he possibly can enter a recruit's living room and explain his actions to mom and dad -- Pitino should realize he has permanently undermined his credibility as an educator and do the right thing. He should resign his position as coach. Read more: http://jay-mariotti.fanhouse.com/20...-shame-pitino-should-resign/?sms_ss=tweetmeme
Since when does being a college coach have anything to do with education? Since when do college kids stop giving high-fives for this sort of behavior?
