OT: Rick Pitino Files Lawsuit Against Adidas
I am curious how this will play out. I am not a lawyer but if 'ol Slick Rick is indeed Coach # 2, and is caught lying about it, I can't imagine this will go very well.

It all makes sense now......

Might as well go for broke now. What do you have to lose?

my guess it's a %. and i bet pitino would settle for undisclosed rocks just so he could then say addidas settled and it wasn't his fault.

exercises that monied people caught red-handed are counseled by their agents to engage in. Throw up a smoke screen, cry foul, and retain a portion of the affection of a gullible public. . . maybe some of your endorsements and tie-ins. Examine the fine print for minor errors to magnify as major ones.

But seriously, this guy really is the worst.
All I see this as is Pitino isn't getting another dime from Louisville, so he'll try and see if Adidas will give him a million bucks to go away.

Right. I agree with what you said here. Louisville has too much evidence for just cause for the firing. I think he hopes that Adidas would want to settle. Rumor is that Pitino immediately put his house for sale as soon as he was placed on admin leave which tells me he's getting ready to run if the rumor is true. Someone who is innocent wouldn't be ready to run for the hills.

+1 for an outstanding Arrested reference.

Never know when you might need a good Analrapist on your legal team.

He already has a house in Miami.

Ah, the old KGB trick - accuse what you are guilty of.

Don't worry, with the current political landscape of the country he'll be running for Senate soon and win in a landslide, I'm sure.
October 17th, 2017 at 5:47 PM ^
Don't know about the merits of the lawsuit, however, the guy obviously has no shame. He is dirty and he knows it. Nevertheless, he would rather put everyone through protracted litigation than simply walk away with all his ill-gotten gains. An big, giant sleaze.
October 17th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
Wonder how long this will take in court. I'd set the over/under at 15 seconds.

If the facts are with you argue the facts.
If the facts are against you argue the law.
If the facts and the law are against you pound the table and yell.
Which category do you suppose Pitino resides??

Sorry, don't know how to make those beautiful quote boxes:
"I never have had any part -- active, passive, or through willful ignorance -- in any effort, successful or unsuccessful, completed or abandoned, to pay any recruit, or any family member of a recruit, or anyone else on a recruit's behalf, as an inducement to attend UL."

I remain unconvinced

Is he trying to burn the place down? Discovery is going to probably yield some interesting items from both sides.

....and the judge will do the same....

Well, this is going to be fun!
