On the advice of his counsel, Louisville men's basketball head coach Rick Pitino did not attend the ACC's Media Day on Wednesday as investigations wade into an escort's allegations that an ex-staffer at the school hired dancers to strip for and sleep with recruits from 2010-2014. Pitino has denied any knowledge of the alleged events.

In the longtime coach's place, 5th-year transfers Trey Lewis and Damion Lee as well as the brand new Rick Potato (driven to the event by UPROXX Sports' Martin Rickman) stepped up, spending the bulk of their time answering questions about the ongoing investigations.
