All those rogue assistants, eh? Poor Pitino. He can't catch a break, surrounded by rogue assistants and unable to control any of them, and they were constantly disobeying the direct orders he gave them to never engage in anything dishonest or that could be considered a violation. But what do they do? They break the rules all on their own.
You know? If I didn't know any better, I'd say every single coach on that staff did exactly what they were instructed to do and every single one of them were likely told they'd be cut loose if they ever got caught while Rick would skate with "plausible deniability." Nah, it can't be! Rick's tell-all book makes it clear he is simply a victim of evil administrators and assistants, so it must be true.
By the way, if anyone believes a word of that drivel I just typed, I have some ocean-front property in Montana for sale for a great price and I'd love to make you a deal.
