Louisville Assistant Ralph Willard taking indefinite leave of absence

He is still an employee of U of L so being on a leave of absence won't save him from the investigation.
 
NCAA sent Miami a letter that said if FORMER players did not cooperate and answer questions the NCAA would consider it a sign of guilt. I never understood why they didn't adopt that same stance when it came to Duke and Lance Thomas because they just threw their hands up there and said they couldn't do anything. Made no sense at the double standard.
 
They apparently are adopting the UNC model of allowing your entire University be consumed whole before giving up a few athletic victories.

Dude is 69 and he looks 80. I could believe its just health issues

This could be the end result of working for an honest, hard working HOF coach who always sees the best in every situation and reigns blessings upon those he meets.
 
from the Louisville staff..taking a "medical leave of exit" Ruh Roh..Does this mean he's sick of all the sexual scandals or just wants out..? who knows..ESCORtino sent Little Ricky to Florida during the Sypher Scandal..:chairshot:
 
Willard knows too much. Doubt we'll ever see him alive again. SAD. How many more will have to die before Pitino is stopped and brought to justice?
Ole Ralphie was prolly warning fifteeno the whole time. Now shit has hit the fan. Let the cover up begin. Its been an embarrassing thing to watch, this whole Pitino thing. He really is a shitbag.

I think Ricky knows theres a shatstorm coming, and he doesn't want Ralph embroiled in it. Call it a "moment of decency"

Yep. He's leaving because of a heart condition. You all hear that? He has a heart condition! Now leave him alone!
 
I'd feel sorry for Rick if he wasn't such an insecure little jackass that brings it on himself. I keep thinking back to 2012 and 2013. Cal wins a title, his first, and he immediately gets on a bus and drives around the Commonwealth and shares it with everybody from Paducah to Paintsville. Rick wins one the next year and he immediately brags about how humble it has all made him...so of course he writes another book about that and then he goes out and buys a sports car.

Ralph prolly has a conscience, and the UL strategy requires that everybody involved not have one.
 
Very good theory.
It's hard for me to imagine Ralph bringing ho's onto the scene...

I find it awful convenient that Willard has to leave the program for "health reasons" shortly after all of this news breaks. He must know something and the program is trying to remove him from the equation.
 
For those of you throwing jokes, this isn't a laughing matter. Ralph started with these heart issues after news of these allegations was released. Like Deener said this morning, Ralph much like Rick has been unable to sleep because of this and wakes up throughout the night worrying. Someone's health is not a laughing matter. I am worried about both he and Rick's health. Bob Valvano has been saying for over a week now that these investigation can really do damage to coaches health. His brother basically got cancer from the investigation he went through at NC State according to Bob. I know we are fans of opposite teams but let's not forget these guys are humans and have families like the rest of us.

Ralph needs to step away from this for his own sake and safety. We can only hope that this doesn't do harm to Rick and his health in the process. I think we can all agree on that no matter which side we root for.

All these sham investigations are causing UL's staff to get the cancer. Shame on you reporter people.
 
Spot on. If he was working for Little Brothel, he would HAVE to talk to the NCAA. If he is not employed, he is under no obligation to talk. No doubt this is part of the cover-up. They can say that they want 100% of the truth to be told and no one has been instructed to lie. But like everything else with that corrupt athletic department, ....that is also a lie!

LITTLE BROTHER UNIVERSITY: YOU AREN'T EVEN WORTHY OF BEING OUR LITTLE BROTHER!
Isn't there someway that we can get our parents to put little brother up for adoption. Little bro has so many STDs that I'm ashamed to call them little brother anymore.

How do you know that Pitino is at fault? Willard may just need time to fight off one of those antibiotic resistant infections. I hear the exposure opportunity has been higher of late.

Hazardous working environment.

NCAA investigations cause cancer. The absurdity of that theory even exceeds your normal trolling.

I can see your point. That locker room is no place for someone with compromised immunity.

I don't wish bad health on him whatsoever. I hope he gets better.

But if all of this stuff is 100% bogus like you guys say, then why is he losing sleep every night?
