per Shipley:
Well, this is awkward.
We all loved it when the Hall of Fame coach showed up to watch his son coach at Williams Arena, but now what? It’s been a while since Rick Pitino has been considered a paragon of virtue in the dirty world of college basketball, but he became the personification of everything wrong with it on Wednesday.
The University of Minnesota, where Pitino’s son Richard has righted a lilting ship, has some thinking to do.
Will the U save a courtside seat for their young coach’s besmirched father, welcome him to wander the new team offices and enjoy having a shadow head coach with two national titles under his belt? Or would Rick Pitino’s presence in Dinkytown be akin to Dennis Hopper showing up drunk to the big Hickory game?
If Rick Pitino were to be directly implicated in what might be the mother of all college basketball scandals, legally or by the NCAA, it might be more than just awkward to have him around Williams Arena.
