Typical Rick. His team gets out played and out coached but instead of "owning" it, handling a question with class he takes his frustration / failure out on a student reporter . Maybe he's getting senile :idunno: :lol2:

He's not becoming senile. He's just a jerk.

I love Ricky P. but he needs to learn to relax. Go home, head to Porcini's and have a drink or something.

You're kidding, right. This is mild. This kid wants to wade in the deep end he needs to be able to take the heat. And this wasn't even harsh. Please.

Are we really discussing this? :lol2: :lol2:

 

That is extremely mild.

 

You all are the ones that need to lighten up. :ohbrother:

I thought it was just me. :lol2:

Hell, I'm a UK fan but the disdain for Pitino is retarded. And I don't get it either. Dude resurrected the program and hung a banner but now he's a real bastard. I just don't get it. And he's right, it doesn't take an Xs and Os genius to figure out that Louisville can't put the biscuit in the basket.

I agree with you, but they were talking about it and criticizing it on Fox Sports Radio's National Broadcast on the way home from work today. So its not just a couple UK fans that are trying to make an issue out of it.

I don't know how anyone can claim Pitino is not a jerk. He just does not come off as a nice guy. I would NEVER want to hang out with that guy.

Agreed. I realize it was a student reporter, but it was kind of a stupid question.

Yeah, if Pitino called you this afternoon and said he'd buy you a drink you'd probably turn him down.

Several National sites have picked up the story.

 

FWIW I don't think the kid complained and it was other reporters that were present that made it a story. I'm sure they were all UK fans and were just mad they got assigned to cover the ACC tourney.

That's a ridiculous scenario. We'd already be friends at that point. He's a mean guy who cheats and pays for mistresses to abort babies.

And spanks little student reporters who should have had someone with a brain approve his questions beforehand.

The question was not stupid and Pitino was not as bad as it is being publicized to be. He obviously knew it was a student reporter and my problem is he was condescending. But not a huge deal.
