Louisville Scandal: Big News Coming

[TheDeuce]

A couple things I've seen suggest Pitino was not consulted on the sanctions and that this came down from Ramsey and Jurich and he's furious.

 

As much as I love Rick, I don't think he's in the position to be furious...

Matt Jones constantly looking for attention. Who cares what he says.

 

His tactics always amaze me. I'm glad a lot of sensible UK fans no longer act like he does.

[gametime]

The timing makes perfect sense. If I remember, the initial Powell story came out on a Friday afternoon. This will get even more buried than it, outside the Commonwealth. Damage control 101. Not hating on them, it makes sense to release it when they are.

 

Yup. Public Relations 101...

That gets to the general nature of big time college basketball coaches and their insulated environments.

 

To a certain extent, yeah. But he's also right in what he just said during this press conference: he was kept in the dark by Ramsey during this investigation and that's the way it's supposed to be.

I have seen that as well.

I can't wait to see the ESPN 30 for 30 on this one!!

[jericho]

This is awesome. Pitino just threw Jurich and Ramsey under the bus. Wow. :lol2:

 

I love it.

Could he fight them for 12 sec.

If they kept him out of the dark like he just said they did then I can understand his anger. He said he wasn't even consulted about this self imposed punishment.

Real story is you follow Matt Jones on twitter

 

He blocked me on twitter. :idunno:

To a certain extent, yeah. But he's also right in what he just said during this press conference: he was kept in the dark by Ramsey during this investigation and that's the way it's supposed to be.

 

I thought he said that is not the way it is supposed to be.

[Getslow]

I'd keep him in the dark too. That man doesn't know when to shut up. If Ramsey and Jurich wanted to keep things close to the chest and let Chuck Smrt get out in front of the NCAA, then you can't keep him in the loop during the investigation.

[Getslow]

I thought he said that is not the way it is supposed to be.

 

No, he said that's the way it should be. He's potentially on the hook here and you can't let him be in on the investigation.

[Cover Corner]

Agreed. Rick can be his own worst enemy.

[Getslow]

"We cannot answer any questions regarding the status, timeline or procedure of any investigation."

 

Well this presser should be just full of useful information. :lol2:

This does stink for this year's team. I was considering picking the Cards to cut down the nets.
