Pitino didn't know anything

"We got lucky on this one," Pitino told Terry Meiners of News Radio 840. "I had an AAU director call me and ask me if I'd be interested in a player (Bowen). I saw him against another great player from Indiana. I said 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' They had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotel, pay for their meals. We spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I saw him play. In my 40 years of coaching this is the luckiest I've been."

No one would be dumb enough to talk about a recruit this way if he was actually paying them and aware of it. I think he made a bad assistant hire and clearly fostered an environment at Louisville where his assistants thought they could do whatever to sign a recruit but he didn't know about this payment.

Hello kind sir,

I am Bakare Tunde, a prince in my native Nigeria and commander of the Nigerian Royal Space Academy. I have just received terrible news that I am terminally ill. I would like to send you a portion of my $200 million USD fortune. To complete the wire transfer I will just need your bank account number, routing number, last four SSN, credit card number, security PIN, and expiration date. Please send me this information soon. I do not have much time left. I am very trustworthy. After all, I wouldn't tell you I was trustworthy if I wasn't actually trustworthy.

Many thanks (Nagode Igbena as we say in my country),

Commander Bakare Tunde (Nigerian Prince)

Brutally spot on, FitzFan.

FitzFan wins the internets today.

Anyone who believes a word of anything Pitino says . . . ought to be ashamed of himself.

I have little doubt that Little Richie has picked up some of daddy's bad habits. After such a quick turnaround in Minny, I sure hope the authorities have a close eye on that program.

This was Rick Pitino’s exact role in college hoops scandal: feds

What a blatant liar.

I stand corrected.
