Very well done article.

And exactly spot on with its descriptions IMO.

That last paragraph sums up the article well
...
"It’s often said that great coaches in college sports rarely go out on their own terms. Pitino, who went a combined 770-271 over his NCAA tenure, is the latest example. As recently as a few years ago, he was seen as Hall of Fame coach who also happened to be sleazy. Now, he’s seen as a Hall of Fame sleazeball who also happened to be a winning coach."

Good article. One common theme I've seen all day though... everyone talks about the 2013 title, but no one mentions that it has been vacated.

I want to make any excuses for the man. Pitino is a morally bankrupt coward who deserves every ounce of his comeuppance and who shouldn’t be allowed near a college basketball bench for the rest of his life.

Have to give any props who uses the word "comeuppance" in a sentence.
