April 19, 200917 yr That's what I find so funny. If it happens to UK it's :popcorn: and the accusations roll in. If it happens to UL it's "No big deal"... "Where's the proof?" The constant whining from UL fans is quite entertaining. :lol: Funny to see UL fans backstroke their way out but if these allegations we all know how they (UL Fans) would be if these allegations were against a UK coach. My personal opinion is these allegations seem pretty silly and unfounded and if that’s the case I wish Pitino the best in defending himself and his family...
April 19, 200917 yr There's no proof yet that Pitino even did anything. You're right. I jumped the gun on blaming guilt on Pitino. I hope you are correct, and that he did not have an affair with this woman. I would think that she has some sort of evidence on him though if she is going to stoop to extortion. I hope that Pitino is cleared of any wrong doing.
April 19, 200917 yr So then we're to assume Pitino is at fault/guilty here simply because there are rumors floating around? Were you innocent of accusing Gillispie of anything when all of the rumors were going around about him? I honestly don't know, just asking.
April 19, 200917 yr Nowhere did I say he was at fault/guilty, but unless I knew otherwise I wouldn't defend him either. To each his own then I suppose. Until I'm given a reason not to defend him I will. Excuse me for my loyalty to the University of Louisville and it's Athletic Department. Shame on me for defending someone who has been proven guilty of nothing. :thumb:

April 19, 200917 yr Were you innocent of accusing Gillispie of anything when all of the rumors were going around about him? I honestly don't know, just asking. If you're referring to the "co-ed" rumors, my stance was that his history wouldn't rule out the rumors. I did, however, refrain from casting a final judgment on whether or not Gillispie did anything of the sort. Innocent until proven guilty. Just like this case with Pitino. As has been stated, rumors about Pitino and his marriage have been around for years. So obviously, it's a possibility. I've never said Pitino didn't do anything. I will however defend his stance until I'm given a reason not to. At that time, I'll re-evaluate my thoughts on the situation.

April 19, 200917 yr Were you innocent of accusing Gillispie of anything when all of the rumors were going around about him? I honestly don't know, just asking. Good question. I seem to remember several UL fans that made assumptions about Calipari as well...
April 19, 200917 yr A lot of times blind faith is a poor choice. Again, to each his own. If it turns out that Pitino did something wrong, fine. If a few people of a rival team want to hold it over my head that I defended my coach until he was proven guilty, so be it. I can live with that. :thumb:

April 19, 200917 yr Then grant other fans the same, as I'm sure you will when the shoe is on the other foot. :popcorn: Wrong... Innocent until proven guilty doesn't change depending on what colors you wear or school you root for. Not in my book.
April 19, 200917 yr Wrong... Innocent until proven guilty doesn't change depending on what colors you wear or school you root for. Not in my book. :confused: That's exactly what I'm saying . :idunno: Put your shield down.
April 19, 200917 yr This really has nothing to do with basketball except thats how he got his money. For Coach Pitino's sake, if he did it or not , I hope everything works out for him. I will say a prayer for him and his family. As a UK Fan,I also hope he goes to the NBA.
April 19, 200917 yr Wrong... Innocent until proven guilty doesn't change depending on what colors you wear or school you root for. Not in my book. You're saying you've never judged someone before on floating rumors that weren't 100% true? There are a reason rumors like this are always floating around Pitino. Just because I didn't sit there and watch him do it, doesn't mean I'm not smart enough to realize what kind of guy he is.

I also see no problem with Deuce defending his coach, but usually where there's smoke there's fire...Has Slick Rick been involved in any of these types of rumors before?
