Predicting Rick Pitino’s response to his new scandal

Related Topics: Rick Pitino

So with today’s new black cloud over Pitino’s basketball program, what route do you think he will take to get out of it?

I have some guesses…

— “I can’t believe we’re talking about this 15 years and 16 days to the date after 9/11.”

Rick Pitino’s go-to line is always a reference to 9/11. Whenever Rick feels the heat, he invokes our nation’s worst tragedy.

— “I can’t believe we’re talking about this nine years after the day Paul Newman died.”

Back in 2009, Pitino invoked the death of Ted Kennedy, twice, when calling his relationship with Karen Sypher a 100 percent lie.
