I love pitino! I hate that hes not at kentucky but im glad hes at louisville and still in the state. Now we got coach cal so its gonna be a hell of a rivalry

after tonight i think UK needs him really bad!! though it would never be admitted, they would love to have him back! class and wins!

Coach Pitino is a classy guy and he didn't try to BS about why he went to Boston. I'm thrilled he's at Louisville now, go cards!

Woot. Finally somone with balls to admit they did it for the money. Much respect to teh guy.

He Went to friggin Louisville. If he went to Illinois or Georgia Tech but nooo... he went to Loserville.

Man it bothered me when he left then went to Louisville......but I'm working on it.

Dang it. I hate how hindsight is 20-20. If he were still at UK we would have 9-10 titles by now.

Come on Mitch!! Get Pitino back at UK and then retire. Then in a couple of seasons after he gets us sailing in the right direction he can retire back in Camelot. Pitino could turn this team around.

I want to know why he didnt pull out, and what his wife thinks about his restaurant outings.

UofL had 2 national championships, 8 final fours, 20 sweet 16's, & 30 ncaa tourney appearances before Rick ever got here. We love Rick, but once he decides to retire UofL will continue to be one of the best bball programs in the country.

He went to Lousiville and betrayed UK and stabbed us in the backs

hardly, who's UofL going to get after pitino leaves? It's not even close to being one of the better jobs in the nation..or even its on conference. The only reason UofL got pitino in the first place is because he wanted to be spiteful. He knows he effed up because he could have one multiple championships and final fours if he had stayed at UofK...have fun being mediocre once he leaves...actually in the next few years....kinda like that stellar football program.

KAREN WHO???

Also part of the learning process is not to get drunk at a restaurant and have unprotected sex with a woman who's not your wife.

It's so funny because he clearly would rather be here than U of L. All his greatest moments were here in a mere 8yrs. What is it now Louisville? 11yrs and you guys have, what, 1 final four. Lmao what a failure for such a great coach. He'd be in the top five most winningest coaches if he had stayed here. He knows it, we all know it.

I don't care for this guy anymore he' gone Benedict Arnold on us.

Not nearly as bas as his job as a GM.

The negativity in this town sucks.

Goodbye and good riddance. His coaching period with the Celtics was a disaster.

Rick is an evil man.
