We've got one guy tweeting about how important his wife is, “the family hero” (our beloved CTC) and another commiting adultery.

Finally, was listening to the “Lock it up” session on Zaban this morning and someone predicted that another woman would come forward in the next 2 weeks with a similar accusation against Pitino. That would make things very interesting……

His personal life shouldn't affect his professional career. Also, there are two sides to this story. This all happened 6 years ago and, from what I've heard, he came clean with his family back when it happened. The only reason it is an issue is because the woman tried to extort money from him. When that failed she decided to accuse him of rape 6 years later?<br><br>I'm not condoning his actions in any way, but after making the immoral mistake he did, he came clean. When she tried to bribe him, he appropriately went to the police to stay away from it. And then he apologized to everyone for it. Yes, coaches reflect the school and set examples, but didn't he set a good example in correcting his mistake? I just don't see the need to fire him for it, but Im not a UofL fan.

Unless they bring sanctions against the Louisville program, I doubt Teague's dad would think badly of his former coach. I've already accepted that Teague is going to UofL. With several of their primary recruits committing to other schools, they are surely going to go all out on the remaining ones.
