Rick Pitino is one of the most down-to-earth, and passionate head coaches in the modern era of college basketball. Jay Bilas does a spot-on job playing the journalist. The questions were brutally honest, and in my opinion managed well by Pitino. Considering the circumstances involving this case into alleged NCAA violations, and charges brought on by the Bureau, Pitino responds in a way where its easy to see that he feels he was betrayed, but not defeated. When asked if he would ever coach again, and his relationship with his players shortly after dismissal by the program, Pitino exhibits raw emotion at his love for the game, and if this does turn out to be the case that the Board at UOFL acted hastily, it'd be better for the sport to have Pitino coaching again somewhere in Division I.
If Louisville is guilty of something or has been charged with some crimes how come no person on Rick Pitino staff including himself has been arrested???🤕🤔🤔 Because the other coaches involved in these allegations have already been arrested...🙄
Well done coach. I recently watch you in a video where the NCAA said that they found no violations against you. I was happy and sad. I know we lost a one in a million coach. But was so happy for you and Louisville fans. You gave us some great games.
Coaches are very savvy; they have ways of Ok'ing this kind of stuff while maintaining plausible deniability. They have safety mechanisms built into this stuff to where they can legitimately fool themselves into thinking nothing is going on. Nobody thinks Rick pitino wrote a check to anyone; but even if he said "I don't wanna know anything about anything like that" but still on some level ok'd someone doing what they needed to do, that's the kind of thing we're talking about here.
I actually believe him, not a Louisville fan either. I feel badly for him. If he actually is telling the truth, which I think he is, he's correct in everything he said. As long as his players are behind him, and they feel he's done right by them, he only has to answer to the man upstairs.
I really wanna believe him. I respect him as a person and a coach. And to believe isn't so far of a stretch. People know and knew that he tried and for the most part was on top of everything. So for the guilty parties to hide it from him is really believable. I just hope that I'm right about this guy. And he truly is just the scapegoat. Good luck Rick. And GOD bless you.
fuck the Celtics mfs cant do anything right anyways. been hoarding draft picks, then traded away an entire team that came in 1st in their conference. id be more pissed at Danny Ainge lol Hey Celtics....break a leg! LMFAO!!!!!!
oh shhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt (lamelo voice) let me get my popcorn and weed. Let this man FREE!!!!!!! He helped families!!!!!!!!
Jason Broomfield he did that shit and tricked an FBI conducted polygraph test machine as well as 2 trained Special Agent interrogators???? YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!!
low major schools dish out about 5000 for their top recruits mid majors usually 20000 high majors 50-100 plus other incentives i was told these things personally on numerous accounts i remember i few years back when dennis smith jr took like 30thousand to play for team loaded to stay on the adidas circut. i also remember when all american isaiah whitehead took like 40thousand and a brand new bmw to go to seton hall a mid major who had no business signing him. anybody that knows people within the industry knows that its pretty customary to monetarily incentivize most top recruits. theres NO WAY RICK PITINO DIDN'T KNOW ITS IMPOSSIBLE STOP LYING ON GODS NAME
Coaches at this level are pulled in 10,000 directions having to kiss the ass of all the big money donors then expect them to know every activity that everyone associated with the program is up to. For some reason we find it entertaining in this country to see a person reach the top of the mountain and then see them destroyed. Coach, the good news is this country loves a come back. I look forward to seeing you coach again. You will rise again!
Wow. When you now know that this man was COMPLETELY exonerated by an independent investigation and you know what this man has been through in the last 5 years since this interview, how can you not say that he is a man of "INTEGRITY" who through hindsight was wronged on many levels and how can you not want to root for him in his hour of redemption with all that he's been through. In my opinion if you think otherwise, you're either a hater or one that doesn't comprehend the facts that have been presented whether you agree or disagree. Shame on those that choose a rush to judgement..
1st there was the breaking cardinal rules book wrote. They were dealing with that and then this happened and he got fired. www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/indictment-alleges-rick-pitino-knew-plan-pay-louisville-recruit-participated-001215792.html
Give me a fucking break man. This is not the only scandal on your watch, even if SOMEHOW it weren't true. He's unbelievable, how out touch with reality he is.
I see your reply was 4 months ago. Oops spoke to soon. Just like a ky fan always running theirbface hole before they think. How do you feel as of today. Ky is now being probed bevause of the same thing. But you had to know that sooner or later Cal would do this to your team. Its not the first time but you ky fans seem to want to sweep the other two schools he screwed and jumped ship from under the rug. Well get iut your broom and start sweeping your 44 year love affair with the cats under the rug as well. Your better off without Cal anyway. He has most deff had the best players money can buy and has completely under achieved.
janis317 Louisville is sponsored by adidas and has been......what are you talking about? They never tried to get them to wear any apparel that is not a university sponsor.
Anyone that thinks this shit doesn't go on at EVERY major and mid-major program is delusional. This was going on in the 70's when I was recruited and probably long before then. Move along people nothing to see here.
Yeesh, pitino hasn't been in this much trouble since all 1620 when all those villagers came after him with crosses and wooden stakes. If only he could look in the mirror and find some accountability, but he sees nothing. If only the ncaa new they could reign in his bad behavior with some garlic and holy water.
If only the NCAA would practice capitalism and let the student-athletes get properly compensated for their work, there won't be a black market for coaches or sports execs to work in. Until then, these white-collar crimes will simply not stop. There's simply too much financial incentive for them to say no! P/s: Proper use of economic theories often helps to reduce crime. Cheers~
Literally you can fake out a lie dector test. It's not that hard. That's why they are declared inadmissible in court now. He knew, and as I've said to people defending him (which those people actually exist) if he didn't actually know.. He SHOULD have known. He is not the same coach that came in and saved UK all those years ago. Goodbye and good riddance Pitino.
no never taken one before but have an extreme interest in crime, the justice system, etc. so I've done a lot of research over the years. I've seen where people can easily mislead one. There is a reason why they are never used in court cases anymore.
storywritersings that’s weird....because on most crime shows that I have seen on the id channel....when they use a lie detector test guilty parties fail when they are hiding something. Not to say you can’t pass one if you are lying, but in most cases it’s not likely.
@@UrbanMaxxTV I've taken 5 of them. They're all BS. Its all a matter of how competent the examiner is or how much he likes/dislikes you. In my case, 2 of them, I passed with flying colors. In 2 others, they both went essentially the same: each examiner said something like, "well, I think you're mostly telling the truth but it appears you're thinking of something on one question I asked." In other words, it was mostly positive but still a little mixed. In the 5th one, I was all but called a crook. All 5 took place within about 2 years of each other back when employers did these as pre-screening tools. Its MOSTLY junk science. Anyway, putting all that aside, storywritersings is right: Pitino's results on a polygraph means nothing. People worshipping him as they are in these comments are disgusting. He's in it for one person: himself. Anyone that doesn't think that is a fool.
bryan cuevas. I am a Louisville fan for 40 years. PLEASE tell this board the specific teams coached by Pitino that had THIS problem. Pitino was setup by the college rival in this state who had the present governor disband the real Board of Directors of the University of Louisville and he installed his own people on the council. Most have affiliations with the University of Kentucky . Here is a major NCAA school being directed by its arch-enemy in the state. They have been trying to scandal Pitino since he was hired by Tom Jurich as the duo outgunned the envious UK in every sport, over the years. Louisville surpassed the other school in revenue earned in ALL sports by the two schools, on a national level. As Pitino said, he was setup. The people on this board no very little about what really happened, as is evident by the comments.
finally 3 rational thinking people in this entire comment section. and all 3 are on the same comment everybody is saying HES LYING, HE DID IT yeah....he just tricked an FBI conducted polygraph test machine thats monitoring his heart rate, blood pressure, sweat/stress levels, etc and was administered by trained Special Agent interrogators.... Humanity is so fucking stupid these days. not a shred of common sense out there. if Pitino did anything wrong, hed be indicted like the rest of them. Why are so many people incapable of using their brains? They just let society tell them how to think. If the media was fighting FOR Pitino, 90 percent of these comments would be SUPPORTING HIM. media always creates the narrative and society runs with it.....smh
LOL his face and movements don't betray any such lies and even a halfwit who studies these things would know that. So you're dumber than a half wit. There are even YT videos dedicated to these things. 0 such cases in this. Such as prolonged closing of the eyes while responding to questions: none in this video. Blinking excessively: none in this video. You are a moron.
either way he has to own that Sh*t, lets face the ' Sad Truth ' but not 1 person gives a Sh*t about how many players Graduate,How Fine of People they become. 99.9999999999% Only Cares About Winning,all the way down to little league. Coaches are demanded to Win at cost, nobody has ever defended a losing coach. lying and cheating is a needed ingredient for winning,until you reach that level being in top 5.What would you do to keep your job? Shame,
Never liked this guy as a coach, taught his players bad ethics, cheated, previous scandals, is he guilty? Yes, and he got fired, and will go to the grave in denial.
Pitino can coach X and 0"s / and he can motoviate players , But I also think hes a BS artist. You/ve got to know what is going on with your Asst coaches and players and their grades and there actions on campus. Rick Pitino DID NOT KNOW ?????

Good interview. I believe Rick. He's a legend. #NBA #CollegeBasketball #Louisville
rememberin his stint with the kncks!!!!!! either layup or the trifecta and full court defense.....revived kenny walkers career among others....

I love you Rick

Damn Rick you still have a legacy and don't let people who don't know shit destroy it..
Respect the goat
Leave Coach alone man. He did so much for us and Coach if you see this, the whole world seen us win the 2013 NCAA championship game. #REHIREPITINO
Graeme Springer he is a scum bag and now u have 2 titles hahaha go UCONN 4 titles baby
Best coach of all time
If Louisville is guilty of something or has been charged with some crimes how come no person on Rick Pitino staff including himself has been arrested???🤕🤔🤔
Because the other coaches involved in these allegations have already been arrested...🙄
Why do people always think and say the worse about someone? I've read some of your comments below..
Well done coach. I recently watch you in a video where the NCAA said that they found no violations against you. I was happy and sad. I know we lost a one in a million coach. But was so happy for you and Louisville fans. You gave us some great games.
Pitino speaking truth
Ol slick Rick 😂
shoutout to him gettin dat bag

I believe Rick i feel bad for him
Sporty Spice its Ok to be gullible
Hall of Fame Coach Pitino!
#RickForPrison
damn you can tell bilas does not like pitino..
I actually believe him, not a Louisville fan either. I feel badly for him. If he actually is telling the truth, which I think he is, he's correct in everything he said. As long as his players are behind him, and they feel he's done right by them, he only has to answer to the man upstairs.
The governor got involved.
I believe you Rick, smh why.. the AAU is tearing the NCAA up
You believe him? C'mon man. He has a list of shady stuff in his past
I really wanna believe him. I respect him as a person and a coach. And to believe isn't so far of a stretch. People know and knew that he tried and for the most part was on top of everything. So for the guilty parties to hide it from him is really believable. I just hope that I'm right about this guy. And he truly is just the scapegoat. Good luck Rick. And GOD bless you.
He is still one of the best coaches you cant take that from him .!
He pissed off the wrong person, simple
Maries Moments what r u talking about and lol u aint so shut yo dumb self up and leave bum
I agree Sister Marie. He had to have crossed the wrong person. They came after him and got him!
Rick you da man fucked them!!!
I miss Rick 💔
i believe him his former players believe him and still love and respect him. he should of known but its not 100 % his fault
Why isn't he going to jail like R. Kelly? Or Bill cosby? What makes him better?
NCAA Is $100,000,000+ Business, They Should Be Giving Players Some Kind Of Stipends Anyway, NCAA Should Be Investigated
He ruined my Celtics and had Paul Gaston demote Red Auerbach just so he could have the title as President and we’ll never forgive him for that.
He is telling the truth
fuck the Celtics
mfs cant do anything right anyways. been hoarding draft picks, then traded away an entire team that came in 1st in their conference. id be more pissed at Danny Ainge lol
Hey Celtics....break a leg! LMFAO!!!!!!
Pitino Allegedly has never accepted responsibility for anything
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
Oh we've heard that before....lol
The college basketball Don. The equivalent to Pat Riley in the NBA.
"Humility is the most important word in the dictionary" lolololololololololol
The worst thing to do is lie and get caught.
Tyte Face he's the new villian in the Justice League movie!!!
He looks like he's been crying his ass off before the interview
Absolutely, Humility is the most important word in the dictionary.
"My legacy is really not important, because I'm not that significant." - Oh, those words are so true.
oh shhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt (lamelo voice) let me get my popcorn and weed. Let this man FREE!!!!!!! He helped families!!!!!!!!
Black Chris tf did you say Lamelo voice, bro you corny af for that..
lamelo voice? tf he's a junior in high school lame ass nigga smh

Black Chris Is that you Mello ! Boy get off the damn internet and go clean your room you got class in the morning don't make me come up stairs.
he knew and Louisville needs to vacate every win under pitino
Hahaha that boy lying through his teeth... He good boy!!! Hahaha
He is a very smart guy. Hard to believe He didn't know...
just the thumbnail alone makes him guilty
Two things are possible. Great coach. The cumulative effect of scandal after scandal. As usual, doing a great job at Iona. Brilliant coach.
He did that shit. Guilty AF
Jason Broomfield
he did that shit and tricked an FBI conducted polygraph test machine as well as 2 trained Special Agent interrogators????
YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!!
read a book you might be able to get a job some day
No sympathy for this guy.... Rick, just go away and enjoy the rest of your life with your family..
low major schools dish out about 5000 for their top recruits
mid majors usually 20000
high majors 50-100 plus other incentives i was told these things personally on numerous accounts
i remember i few years back when dennis smith jr took like 30thousand to play for team loaded to stay on the adidas circut.
i also remember when all american isaiah whitehead took like 40thousand and a brand new bmw to go to seton hall a mid major who had no business signing him.
anybody that knows people within the industry knows that its pretty customary to monetarily incentivize most top recruits.
theres NO WAY RICK PITINO DIDN'T KNOW ITS IMPOSSIBLE STOP LYING ON GODS NAME
Mid majors don’t have 20k to hand out to numerous players. Great insight though!
Coaches at this level are pulled in 10,000 directions having to kiss the ass of all the big money donors then expect them to know every activity that everyone associated with the program is up to. For some reason we find it entertaining in this country to see a person reach the top of the mountain and then see them destroyed. Coach, the good news is this country loves a come back. I look forward to seeing you coach again. You will rise again!
And now it’s all legal. Kids are making way more than $100k with NIL deals. This was all done about 5 years too soon.
Of course the players support him. They got paid pretty good
Julian Roemer
thats actually pretty funny lol
Jay Bills is like just "answer the questions man".
Broke out the God card pretty quick!
Lol Pitino is so full of it
Wow. When you now know that this man was COMPLETELY exonerated by an independent investigation and you know what this man has been through in the last 5 years since this interview, how can you not say that he is a man of "INTEGRITY" who through hindsight was wronged on many levels and how can you not want to root for him in his hour of redemption with all that he's been through. In my opinion if you think otherwise, you're either a hater or one that doesn't comprehend the facts that have been presented whether you agree or disagree. Shame on those that choose a rush to judgement..
yo can someone tell me what happened????
1st there was the breaking cardinal rules book wrote. They were dealing with that and then this happened and he got fired. www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/indictment-alleges-rick-pitino-knew-plan-pay-louisville-recruit-participated-001215792.html
This makes me really sad. Louisville has suffered a huge loss. Haters
Wasn’t there a prostitution problem with recruits visits too.
Adidas took my love and passion away lmaooooooooooooooo Pitino should do stand up because that had me rolling
Dude, his eyes darted at the beginning of the video when he was asked the first question
So you just don’t know shit but when practice starts right?
Give me a fucking break man. This is not the only scandal on your watch, even if SOMEHOW it weren't true. He's unbelievable, how out touch with reality he is.
there is something really weird about his eyes... like one is looking away from the other..
Troy Wow, Wait until you become elderly, you won't be so pretty. Maybe that will humble you.
He's blind in his left eye
Jim Calhoun sitting at his crib like " mann thank god i got out the game before they caught me "
Steve Rosemond he is not out of the game. What are you talking about?
As a 44 year UK Fan, I am proud, he resurrected UK and destroyed UL!!!
Mark Creech lol me too
I see your reply was 4 months ago. Oops spoke to soon. Just like a ky fan always running theirbface hole before they think. How do you feel as of today. Ky is now being probed bevause of the same thing. But you had to know that sooner or later Cal would do this to your team.

He has most deff had the best players money can buy and has completely under achieved.
Wow.. A spiral and serious out of control plane.. I wonder if he really believes his own story. What a jerk.
Sgt Schultz of college basketball
I see nothing I know nothing !
This reminds me of Joe Paterno. Lost everything because of Jerry Sandusky. Just go after the person committed the action.
They should be paid period.
dove cried
In sex or cash?
Croatia should beat Greece in the playoff.
i heard this guy has ties to the Mafia or some shit. Idk if this is true or not
I mean he is an older established italin gentlemen born and raised in new york who was doing corrupt things with money... Not to be racist but yep.
Yea what this guy said 👆😂😂😂
I heard SSB 28's mommy blows for $5. Idk if this is true or not
Puter FACTS
Ah, well then, it's good to hear that the FACTS are that SSB 28's mommy blows for $5.
Mob affiliated, same as Pat Riley lol
Hes left recruiting scandals everwhere hes been. He lies so much he believes his bullshit
Are his pants on fire right now?
Getting players to wear apparel that is not a sponsor of the university is a NCAA violation.
janis317 Louisville is sponsored by adidas and has been......what are you talking about? They never tried to get them to wear any apparel that is not a university sponsor.
Man Rick pitino was treated awfully on his way out lol he would never come back al
Anyone that thinks this shit doesn't go on at EVERY major and mid-major program is delusional. This was going on in the 70's when I was recruited and probably long before then. Move along people nothing to see here.
He had a facelift....
Unfortunately, Rick's lying.
Kills me Pitino and jurich were fired #L1C4
Kym Stillwell you now are servant a servant to Mitch Barnhart and John calipari :)
Hopefully Petrino takes the Tennessee job then the POS trifecta at Louisville will be gone.
Christopher G. Lol lol
Christopher G. He is Brother. Don't worry.... U just better hope he doesn't take the same defense coordinator with him
Christopher G. He would be a idiot to stay here after all this
#LessThan100ViewsSquad
The Sex scandal please give us a break, you knew not if I knew. He is a liar and you have a lot money off of these kids, fess up.
Yeesh, pitino hasn't been in this much trouble since all 1620 when all those villagers came after him with crosses and wooden stakes. If only he could look in the mirror and find some accountability, but he sees nothing. If only the ncaa new they could reign in his bad behavior with some garlic and holy water.
Mobster!!!
Hes a crook like calapari wish fbi would look in to calapari
Whenever he touches his face/nose area, that's an automatic lie
Dude hasn't slept for days.
This is classic. Godfather type stuff.
Guess he wont be the visine spokesperson
Wow. That was awful. Couldn't have possibly played it worse. This sport is better off without him.
To Pitino had multiple burner phones 😀
If only the NCAA would practice capitalism and let the student-athletes get properly compensated for their work, there won't be a black market for coaches or sports execs to work in. Until then, these white-collar crimes will simply not stop. There's simply too much financial incentive for them to say no!
P/s: Proper use of economic theories often helps to reduce crime. Cheers~
The Board of trustees is not the University. You have lost all sense of reality.
janis317 you are an idiot. It all makes sense when you actually know what you are talking about.....you don’t
Talks right at the end of his legacy not being important. Wow!
Literally you can fake out a lie dector test. It's not that hard. That's why they are declared inadmissible in court now.

I'm a huge Louisville fan (have been since 1974) it's painful to watch this. He really looks like a guilty or a very broken man, sad either way.
He is lying af. All his teams have had this problem. Plus looks at his face, his reactions, his movements.
bryan cuevas Who cares? Fuck the NCAA
bryan cuevas. I am a Louisville fan for 40 years. PLEASE tell this board the specific teams coached by Pitino that had THIS problem.
