October 21, 201510 yr Not so fast on Chane: Former Louisville player Chane Behanan defends Rick Pitino, basketball program | NCAA Basketball | Sporting News
October 21, 201510 yr What does that say about Pitino if he had no clue about what was going on? Not paying attention to his program...
October 21, 201510 yr Not paying attention to his program... I don't believe Pitino knew, but you would have an easier time convincing me that he knew than that he didn't pay attention to his program.
October 21, 201510 yr I don't believe Pitino knew, but you would have an easier time convincing me that he knew than that he didn't pay attention to his program. He knew one of two things. 1. He knew about the situation 2. He wasn't paying close attention to his program...No one will convince me otherwise.
October 21, 201510 yr He knew one of two things. 1. He knew about the situation 2. He wasn't paying close attention to his program...No one will convince me otherwise. He might currently know he wasn't paying enough attention, but your post doesn't even make sense. Did you ever do anything is high school you didn't want your parents to find out about and they never did? Now think about your parents having something like 15 kids, but all of the kids are adults and the parents are the only people they don't want to find out. Compound no one wanting Rick to find out with the fact that the guy in charge of keeping players out of trouble was the one providing the trouble. What if there weren't any red flags? How do you look into something you don't know is going on?

How do you look into something you don't know is going on? Because he looked the other way.

Compound no one wanting Rick to find out with the fact that the guy in charge of keeping players out of trouble was the one providing the trouble. What if there weren't any red flags? How do you look into something you don't know is going on? Of course all of us did. I'd be curious how many could get by with something this big for 4 years. That's the thing that tugs at me the most. Four years is a long time. I can't believe this could have been contained to just one coach knowing over a 4 year period. A whole lot of people had to know what was going on. I think Rick new girls were coming in. They do everywhere. I just can't believe he knew anything about money being exchanged. Rick is a smart guy and he knows you can't get away with stuff like this. It can crumble a program, and it always comes out.
October 21, 201510 yr I had someone lay out the full-on, smells-of-roses dream scenario for me this morning: Louisville keeps Rick Pitino on through this year. When the NCAA releases its findings and determines that Rick Pitino should have known what was going on under his watch, he resigns. Simultaneously, it is decided that Kevin Durant, Brian Westbrook, and Billy Donovan simply do not see eye-to-eye on things and Donovan is dismissed from the Thunder while Durant and Westbrook agree to stay. Louisville hires the now-jobless Billy Donovan. Hey, a fan base can dream...

October 21, 201510 yr Pretty early for Donovan to get the axe in OKC. The only way it would ever happen is if Durant makes it a condition of his remaining in OKC. He'll be a free agent after this season and you have to imagine the Lakers are going to make a HUGE play for him. It's definitely a theory that's pretty far out there and a lot would have to happen...
October 21, 201510 yr Im sure Pitino may have heard and just didnt want to know and played as if he didnt know. A guy with so much control would have to have a clue to this. I always thought of him as a control freak.
