Pitino new article

Really? I never heard nothing about Henson

And I never heard anything about Kruger or Weber. Well then who could it be?

Like all coaches, as well as players' scholarship agreements, they have a "morals" clause in their contracts that allow their employer to terminate the contract "for cause", without having the obligation to continue to pay him if they want.

Here is an article that outlines Pitino's moral's clause.
Interestingly, this writer contrasts Rick Pitino to former BU AD Ken Kavanagh.

wow-- that column amounts to a very loud, broad endorsement of Ken Kavanagh, and almost to the point where he singles out Ken as the absolute antithesis of Pitino.

What does KK have to do with Pitino's situation. To say KK would have fired him is crazy. Given the fact that the Prez was behind the decision....I doubt KK would have done any different than the Louisville AD...Pitino has a lot more power down there for an AD to let him go on his own...

Ken Kavanagh would never fire Rick Pitino.

[Da Coach]

Ken Kavanagh would never fire Rick Pitino.

If RP was at Bradley under KK, he would have been "bigger" than everyone else, so probably you are right. But if any other coach did what RP did, and KK was the AD, I believe he would stand up for decency, honor, and respect and fire him.

RP, like a lot of multimillionaire superstars in whatever profession (sports, pop music, politics), become sociopathic and actually believe they are bigger and better than everyone else, and don't really have to follow the rules, because the rules only apply to the little people.
Things like getting serviced while in the Oval Office, jetting to Argentina for an adulterous fling, having a restaurant owner give you the keys so you can have some fun without the wifey's knowledge, and spending $160,000 a month so you can have your own private doctor to give you intravenous dope are all pretty unbelievable to most of us.
But I guess we're all getting used to the idea that these people really do morph into something we can barely imagine...and develop a considerably different standard.



In fact this whole thing is so weird, that I kinda think it's a secret plot between Pitino, Sypher, and her hubby
to act out such a bizarre scenario that it'll sell great in books and on the big screen, just like Fatal Attraction.
They'll be rich & famous forever with the royalties!



Anyway, it makes you wonder who likes restaurants more, Pitino or Rick Majerus (for different reasons of course)
