Nice example of leadership by Pitino.
Good.Media and the local police don't look the other way here, like they do in other parts of the country. Delvin Cook and Jameis Winston would've never survived their scandals in a place like the Twin Cities
You are right. When we compare Roy to Rick, we can tell why Rick might be gone. People like Roy for the most part. Rick on the other hand has been nothing but an arrogant bastard. Many people don't like him. University will save face by letting him go. I agree with you that nothing will be added financially to them but they will gain their reputation back in a few years. Remember DC was one of the cleanest guys in this business. Rick had some big shoes to fill. As far as reputation goes he has been a PR nightmare.
I know everyone loves him when he's sitting behind Richard wearing his Gopher sweater and scarf. They love him when he's sitting next to his other son, who's dresses in a chicken suit, at Williams Arena. They love him when they think that his name and coaching legacy can in some way help the Gophers program. Then he's a legend and basketball genius. But for now he's an "arrogant bastard". All I got
I apologize, in advance, if you actually know Rick Pitino and know he's an arrogant bastard. I admit he comes across that way but so do many people who are at the top of their profession.

What a pu$$y. If the punter who blew the game at Michigan can face the media, Rick should be the first one in front of the mike.
Do you seriously think that Rick gives a damn about the Gophers????? He is helping his son not this program. He was hoping that his son would replace him at UL but the way that things are going, it may not happen. I am a former UK fan. Like I have said before, I used to worship Rick a lot more than his replacement at UK but I have learned that he only thinks and cares about Rick and Rick.
I don't think I ever referenced Rick Pitino caring about the Gophers. My point was how Gopher fans loved Rick when he was at the games and especially how they felt when there was this notion that somehow Rick could help the Gopher program. ("Maybe Rick could point some lesser recruits our way")
Rick Pitino may only care about himself, his name and his legacy. But I don't believe for one second that 99.9% of the people on this board wouldn't take a guy like that if it meant the success that comes with it.

You are right. You didn't. I do agree with your points. However, why did you have a sarcastic tone when I called him an arrogant bastard???? What does that have to do with people in MN. He has made a few bad choices. In one of them, at 1st, he forced his assistant to marry the woman. Later, she asked for more money and he took her to the court. In this case, this woman was much smarter. She had documented everything so he won't get away this time. He thinks that he can but many people say otherwise.
