Pitino and Jurich Placed on "Leave"

Formality. It's over for them both.
Trust me, the interim Prez would not have made this move without having assurances from the board.

By leave, you mean a 10 day stay of execution, right? ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
They're just following the process spelled out in their contract.
Pitino’s contract states he can only be fired by the Athletic Department and to be fired with cause he must be notified of the cause and have a chance to respond in 10 days. If this does not happen there is a $40 some million buyout.
Jurich must be notified of cause and he has to be given 30 days to rectify the cause or he gets his buyout which is probably $3 million or so.
The university is facing a $48 million deficit next budget year. The university must dot all their i’s and cross all their t’s. No other choice.

Per the contract...must be a board decision and given a 10 day notice with a chance to cure.
Contracts are probably terminated by the board, which also approves hires. Formality. I'm sure that when Rick's buyout is $44 M, you do it by the book.
They were placed on leave. As in, "Please Leave."

Rick Pitino's lawyer says he was put on administrative leave but was "effectively fired."

Semantics and legal maneuvering by UL
They will fight Pitino over his money they will pay Jurich

The 10 days will give Pitino enough time to morph into the Crypt Keeper and bury Tom up to his Turtleneck.
Legal semantics. The board must fire. Foregone conclusion.
You mean we get to enjoy this firing TWICE?
Considering they are in line for the death penalty, they'll save some money there, they won't have to pay a coaching staff.
yeah it's even worse. they can't go hide anywhere yet. the media, ncaa are going to get a load of jurich and pitino for another week. going to be a long one for the cards.
Effective discharge and Pitino in the same sentence ???????
MJ said on WLAP it could be from his lawyer perspective that Rick could be fired for cause, but might have to wait for the UL board to meet before it could be official for Jurich.
This will give the Board enough time to round up Karen Sypher, Katrina Powell, her daughters, the FBI sting agents and Pee Wee Herman as the next U of L basketball coach.
if they didn't have stipulations for this that's at least consistent with their crooked set up.
Pitino on "unpiad leave and his employment status will be evaluated at a later date"
Jurich on "paid leave and his future employment will be reviewed by board at a later date"
Jurich on "paid leave and his future employment will be reviewed by board at a later date"
Yea, both are gone. Pres/Board knows it. Pitino/Jurich know it. This is just making sure everything is done by the contract to avoid the large buyouts.
Maybe it's a formality. But it seems like a stall tactic. Right now they're placed on a leave, but months from now when they're officially fired, it won't be that big of a deal.

UL President leaves open the possibility they could keep Pitino and Jurich (he has to do this because of the way their contracts are worded)

Both are absolutely going to be fired ... basically already are. The key clue to why its absolutely going to happen was Postel talking about getting an interim coach and interim AD. You dont need an interim AD if you thought Jurich had a sliver of hope of coming back to his job... you'd let his underlings take care of it for a few weeks.
