I don't like Rick Pitino, Tom Jurich or anything to do with the University of Louisville. I pull for them to lose every game. I hope the 2013 National Championship is voided and the banner comes down. I'm pleased Jurich and Pitino are no longer at Louisville. I don't want Louisville to succeed in anything. I say this because Jurich and Pitino were very successful. They were a threat to the success of the team I love, the University of Kentucky.
Having expressed all of the above, I am by no means giddy to see Pitino vilified any further. He is gone. So be it. I will now turn my attention to hoping the next Louisville coach has no success. I didn't like it one bit that Pitino opted to coach Louisville among all the other coaching opportunities that would eventually be available for him after he left the Celtics. However, he also rescued the UK basketball program from the same shame Louisville is now experiencing. UK fans should always be grateful for what Rick Pitino did for UK.
While I am pleased Pitino is no longer at Louisville, I do not wish him any ill will. On the contrary, I hope he can put this controversy behind him and enjoy the rest of his life.
