Man, he's hard to follow. Just all over the place in that interview. The guy has seriously lost some marbles.

Also, Rick knows an awful lot about that damn book to have never read it. Maybe he found cliff notes online.
 
Ricky brings up the N Carolina and Cuse scandels to try and make his not look so bad .
Rick you had Camelot and now you are stuck with Camel toe .
The Four D's ,Deflection,Distraction,Delusion Pitino is a Lying Sack of Katina Powell washing out otherwise known as Douche
 
It was said that the NCAA wouldn't bring up Infractions until after July
That was said by Rick, and he was pretty clearly guessing. He said, basically, "how long did the NCAA take on the Syracuse case, and how long has the UNC case been going on? I can't imagine this would end before July."

He's rambling, and likely has no idea about the ncaa's timeline...

So he admits that if a chair is broken in Minardi Hall, he knows about it, but doesn't know about all that went on for four years? LOL. What is sad, is that the whole UL machine is going after Katina, and she is more credible than Rick, Jurich, Petrino, Ramsey, UL's foundation, and their medical research program, combined. When the smoke clears, maybe she should become President of UL.
At the very least Dean of the college of the study of human sexuality at UL
 
After listening to that 15 minute rant it's apparent he's at the age where he doesn't care what anyone thinks.
oh it has nothing to do with age - @bigbluelou nailed it in his post -
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: a personality disorder in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and others.
 
He's going to be super popular in conference after taking shots at Syracuse and UNC. And Boeheim is his boy.

I have posted on this site a long time, and I have never posted on a thread like this. I am not amused by others misery. But, I have to say after watching that press conference, or whatever you call that, things are out of hand at UL. I have never heard that number of contradictions come out of one person's mouth in one interview. I feel sorry for Pitino because it appears that he knows something went down, and I even somewhat believe him that he didn't know about it. But, this will greatly tarnish his legacy and I think he is well aware of it. I am shocked that he addresses it so bluntly. It may be an indication as to how serious this is going to get.
 
I really do think calipari coming here and waxing his ass year in and year out has messed with pitino's ego. Because he was the big dog until then. And now he is the punching bag and it has kind of make him a loose cannon. Not to mention he is a liar and will keep on lying. But I really and truly do credit. A lot of the personal anger and frustration from pitino originating with being unable to measure up to cal and UK. It like watching a really handsome guy come in and treat the girl you always loved but treated badly treat that girl right and get rich.

He said himself it's an emotional game for him.
 
This is what happens when a university has a stranglehold on the local media. Now that this is all national media news Rick can't deflect the questions ( or just not have them asked at all) and he has no clue how to handle it. He has gone into his victim role and is throwing blame at everyone but himself.

I'm sure, in the journalism profession, national people pay attention to how the local beat portrays the situation. I'm sure some of his favorite local boys are up his ass on this one for their own sake. It's probably really pissing him off.
 
It 100% cuts Pitino to the quick that he hasn't been able to control the media on this issue. The main thing he did in that press conference was to lash out at just about everyone who has had the "audacity" to report and opine on the situation based on what is known at this time. That defines control freak.

I still think that Pitino very well may have not known what was going on, but the more he talks and the more he lies (whether he told Kenny Klein a day before about no post game press conference, the finger, etc.) the more easily it becomes to believe he's lying about not knowing about the strippers, ho's, etc. in the dorm.
 
So do we all think he won't speak about the scandal again? He lies so much that I can honestly say I'm officially lost in his antics.

1. Admits something happened but is mad the national news is covering it.
2. Flips the bird and denies it. Repeatedly.
3. Son says he didn't even after the second video.
4. Skips post game interview and said he gave everyone a 24hr notice that he wasnt doing it. Today said he gave a 48 hour notice. All 4 Louisville journalists said they were told he would show up, then were told he would come out of locker room to talk
5. Has told media 3times in interviews that he is not allowed to discuss scandal but keeps on discussing it. Today perfect example.
6. Why didnt he do the Mich St interview?
7. Is he still sending 7-8 NBA players from this team?
 
I'm sure Pitino would have been out to talk to the press had they won the game. It's BS about it being an emotional thing - other than he's pissed he can't beat Cal. He knows he flipped off UK fans and this BS about not being allowed to talk about the scandal is just that, BS -he talks about it all the freaking time, if it's on his own terms. I've never seen anyone so completely full of crap - and one so caught up in a web of lies he doesn't even know what might be the truth anymore.
Whatever vestige of respect I might have had left for Pitino is gone-
 
Think the worst thing to happen to this scandal in regards to UL, RP and all involved will be the lawsuit brought about by the people trying to keep the sanctity of UL and RP. My lawyer friends all say this lawsuit will bring evidence under oath, they can bring everything from finger prints on credit cards, cameras at the hotel, text messages, money orders, etc. NCAA does not have subpoena power and many of the kids who have already told NCAA. This lawsuit against her is going to be the end all, Most feel like the publisher in Bloomington and the escort has a lot of stuff just waiting to go to court, pretty much free get out of jail information and evidence.
The lawsuit opens up a can, a lot of stuff is going to be asked and has to be given, you can lie to NCAA but you cannot lie to Judge or FBI or Feds once the wire fraud aspect comes into play
Money being wired across state lines.
I would think the worst thing that happened in this investigation is the lawsuit brought forward by a bunch dumb asses. Totally buffoonery.
IMO

My whole point in a previous post, this isn't the Rick Pitino of a couple of years ago(not to defend him) even he doesn't get off the rails this bad. He did a better job managing the K. Sypher issue

It is literally eating him up. And he can not handle it. He might have a stroke with the next loss to Cal.
 
The U of L fans are going nuts if you read their board.

Its now ok that Rick flips us off because we deserve it.
It's good hat Rick doesnt care because everyone is victimizing card nation.
They know SOMETHING happened with KP bit who knows what.

He literally contradicts himself and implicates U of L in the interview. He begins by saying she is a fraud, cannot put together two sentences, money is incorrect, security there is too tough on players... Later on he states I believe it was one person and one person only that did all of these things???

This is the exact reason they don't want this egomaniac discussing it since he is literally giving the NCAA ammo to come after him, and on one hand he will say he does not know and two minutes later he says I have spoken to "x" and they say it did not happen. His speaking out now makes me think he knows the end is near, and U of L has instructed him to throw McGee under the bus, they will say he is "retiring" for personal or health reasons, and they can tell the NCAA they will self sanction. They figure it won't hurt recuriting since nobody wants to play there except maybe a no name 3* and some graduate transfers[roll]
 
Over on the UL rivals board they are nearly applauding him. Did Louisville get sucked into an alternate universe of some sort? They are all deranged.

Why yes, yes they did.
Everytime a program loses 8 of 9 gms to UK that program morphs into what is scientifically referred to as the Universe of Losers.

Even crazier is that some UK fans would still roll in his chit.
 
If he is willing to clearly and repeatedly lie about flipping off UK fans, then on what basis should he be believed about anything else he says ...regardless the passion and emotion in which it is said?

I continue to repeatedly say that one of his biggest strengths - his over the top demand for discipline and mental toughness in his players and program - is also his biggest weakness, he is prone to lack personal discipline as has been evidenced repeatedly in his life. consequently he has experienced both huge successes in life as well as huge failures.

It is both this personal glory and shame that he is mightily struggling with accepting as his legacy. He is a product of himself - he greatly desires to be appreciated for his efforts in life but even more despises any criticisms of his personal failures ....and it has over time clearly been eating away at his being.
 
Methinks the U of L higher ups have been keeping Pitino out of the loop and he feels/fears he's being made the fall guy.
 
I st
Think about it, the past weekend events, reporters writing stories from Fox, Cal telling fans not to be too hard on Rick, flipping off Fans, losing game, columnists all saying he was not very classy, All of his past blemishes have been exposed again for all to see, he could not take it that he lost and Cal was telling people to take the high road, I mean that had to absolutely kill RP, Cal telling fans to act classy to Rick. In a weird way this adds so much butthurt to Rick. I mean he is lashing out, he has lost it.

The other reason you heard him today, It's freaking New Year's Day on a Holiday weekend. I mean every ESPN reporter is at bowl game, no one can say he didn't address it and he talked. Unfortunately last week all the big reporters were in town and he chose this weekend. He can say I addressed it earlier.

There is no doubt that he did not want to know what happened over there, if they prove he did know. Already handful of players that have given depositions that say it happened and there is a money trail from McGee. Not saying he knew but think he did want to know what was going on.
I still believe he first found out before he shipped his son off to Billy D for safekeeping.

When he knew what was going on his first response was to get little Ricky out of town and see how long I can keep this under wraps.
 
The UofL board is golden now. Posters and mods are fighting amongst one another with posters saying that mods are too soft and mods saying posters have to behave, they allows more "guests" over there than UK, and their mod(Steelers) tries to act like he is some tough guy hiding behind a message board title. Their other tough guy (Zipp) wanted to know if he could mingle with the chicken "bleeps" over here. Problem is there are no old ladies over here he can push around so he won't know how to act.

They literally delete every UK post they don't agree with, and the mods allow their posters to use profanity daily but don't ban or suspend them - heaven forbid you say that Pitino looks horrible and they need a younger more energetic coach and poof you go. Complete cesspool over there, and it perfectly resembles the character of their coaches and AD.
