    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville coach Rick Pitino is taking an indefinite leave of absence to seek treatment for an undetermined medical condition that left him in agony.

    "I have been in excruciating pain the last three or four games," Pitino said Monday. "It's getting worse day by day."

    Pitino, 51, said the pain in his left side was "urological related," and that he had been dealing with it for four to five months. He said doctors have ruled out prostate cancer, but they have yet to determine what is causing Pitino pain.

    Pitino said he first noticed the pain during a golf outing last summer. He said doctors first treated it as a muscle tear, but when it didn't heal, they began looking for another cause.</div>
