Rick Pitino's $50 Million Choice

[UK1in96n98]

Man it bothered me when he left then went to Louisville......but I'm working on it.

[jeanpalmerd]

CBS I'm 5 6 and I can do some crazy dunks. Truthfully, anyone can do it, just follow the right training program. I highly recommend the training at (50-inch-vertical(dot)com) but any program could be followed if you can check they generate results

[loonmaniac]

He got jacked off by a waitress.

[Elleloveshorses1]

haha this is my brothers girlfriends uncle! no shit!

[SnakeFPSVids]

I love how pitino talks.

[seemeinHD]

CARDS

[Elleloveshorses1]

i saw him at my brothers graduation because a girl in his grade is Rick's neice, no joke

i wanted to murder him

[Conservativepacheat]

tradier

[nazarenec]

In my opinion had Pitino not left UK after the 1997 season UK would have passed UCLA on the championship list ...

[Conservativepacheat]

TRUE,BUT U.K HAS A BETTER COACH NOW

[turkeydick1]

I want to know why he didnt pull out, and what his wife thinks about his restaurant outings.

[wyinuza]

KAREN WHO???

[djlfilms]

wow what a long commercial, and just for VODKA. Absolute is good but DAMN what a commercial just for vodka.

[zdaddy1369]

rick pitino kills babies

[TheJman2600]

Also part of the learning process is not to get drunk at a restaurant and have unprotected sex with a woman who's not your wife.

[arazilefty1]

he came back to Louisville because you can eat and have sex in the restaurants. can't put a price tag on that.

[loopba]

Under ObamaCare Pitino could have got his dick wet for free

[MCskillz1234]

much like the killing of rick pitino's illegitimate baby, the 2010 louisville team was paid for with money under the table.

[nWo24life]

That's hilarious. There's a team a little east of Louisville with a coach that has been PROVEN to be a dirty coach. You think John Wall wasn't given a little bit of cash to follow Cal to UK? Let's not forget the situation that Pitino INHERITED at Kentucky. Give me a fucking break. You are an idiot and your mother should have aborted you! Nice that you had to post that shit twice, what's the matter? Couldn't figure out the post button the first time and wanted to make sure?

[turkeydick1]

Calipari has never been found guilty of anything. Dont be jealous. If Pitino would have left last season, UL fans would have thrown the bank to get Cal to UL. You can only dream of landing 5 star recruits every year. Pitino is a washed up, has been dirt bag that left his best years at UK.

[Conservativepacheat]

there haters everwhere, don't worry they have the green eye Calipari will be a better coach than pitino ever was. f--- that tradier p----'- (i don't want to write his name,after how he was treated in ky and how he treated the blie THATS WHY HE'S AT HOME 2010 3-21-2010 GO BLUE BRING ON COR. OR WIS. LAND THE PLANE

[MCskillz1234]

much like rick pitino's unborn child, this 2010 louisville b-ball season will be an abortion

[ColdDish1]

Since when is taking 50 Million dollars foolish ?

lol

[newbombturk99]

MAC DADDY Rick Pitino

[fablake1]

hes like yeah srry for nailin this chick 6 yrs ago! dnt worry that i took her to anal world it was 6 years ago!! then pays her to have that thing dne. you knw that word! it rhymes with smasmortion! bet he tells his family you guys hungry? i knw of a great restruant!!! lol...... what a typical guy!!! my hero !!!

[kady7869]

He fucked her and she had a medical procedure. What's the big deal?

[scienceisrocklol]

He supports abortion? I like him even more!

[dandyky]

Karen Sypher is a first rate whore in the mold of Paula Corbin Jones

[okiefilm]

"I didn't give the girl 3000 bucks for an abortion. I gave her 3000 bucks for health insurance." WHAT A LYING ARROGANT DIRTBAG!!!!! The 3000 dollars was for insurance so SHE COULD GET AN ABORTION!!! He knew that. Now he's trying to wiggle out like a weasel. Pitino, you scumbag, tell the real truth for once in your pathetic life. What about the fact that your were drunk in a restaurant having sex with a woman in the toilet... WHO WASNT YOUR WIFE? Got a slick political answer for that one???????

[irisheyes4u2]

What about his $3000 choice to murder his baby?

[Jefferyrotten]

Larry birds not walking through that door............and all the negativity in this town sucks!!!!

[stafff99]

What's the deal with Italian college basketball coaches. They always seem to play into the stereotype of the shady Itailian.

I know there have been lot's coaches from different etnicites who have done stupid shit, but these guys seem to be the sleaziest. At least when it comes to college basketball.

[kycats06]

He is a baby killer, plan and simple.

[runningbackpat]

I love pitino! I hate that hes not at kentucky but im glad hes at louisville and still in the state. Now we got coach cal so its gonna be a hell of a rivalry

[Blueford1979]

UK is THE best program in the country. Rick Pitino is one of the best coaches in the country. If he left UL, UL would be nothing. He knows he made a mistake leaving, and he knows he now has a second rate job.  Count your blessings Cards fans as you will start being dominated again by your superior in-state rival.

GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

[j3adair2]

UofL had 2 national championships, 8 final fours, 20 sweet 16's, & 30 ncaa tourney appearances before Rick ever got here. We love Rick, but once he decides to retire UofL will continue to be one of the best bball programs in the country.

[MegaUkfan]

continue??? ha ha ha ha when was it that the cards started to be one of the best bball programs in the country i never knew about this ha ha ha 2 national championships lame

[gatornate24]

Bunch of crap. You didn't do anything for 20 years before Pitino, and you won't even with him.

[1fastvmax]

0:31

[mrldgb]

birddog you dumb motherfucker rick patino is a basketball coach not a sec football coach 2 diff things were talking abt basketball not football dumbass

[birddog0612]

uk is means fags unlimited. if yall was winning u wouldnt be concerned about about louisville. we aint concerned about uk. they cant even win the crap ass sec(football conference) aint no real bball teams in that league. and got the best player in the sec tubby would have done way better with that team.

[mattcombs]

Pitino is 2nd in the history of UK coaching only to Rupp. Hm... I think he might be on his way to becoming 3rd.

GO CALIPARI, and GO CATS!

See how much crap you Cards fans talk when YOU are in the NIT next year. HAHAHA.

[fubujock777]

he would have left for boston for the same pay he was receving at kentucky.

[shaneymcb]

too bad louisville you guys are just getting shafted. first kentucky gets calipari and soon arizona will get rick pitino. its just a lucky time to be a wildcat

[neeliog3]

who gives a shit about Kentucky anyway? Just a bunch of hicks who live off adolph rupp's legacy. you gotta get your heads out of ur asses if you wanna win anymore 'ships. Cuz lousville's the better program right now and UK ain't makin any dents based on their incoming recruiting classes.

[craftsae28]

You are a joke and so is Louisville. Even your coach knows UK is superior to Louisville, that must hurt.

[WEREWOLF1MOON]

Last time he couldn't take it back because it would have reflected poorly against him to replace Tubby. There are rules of etiquette that in good taste are followed. We all know Pitino is a classy guy & a gentleman. However, now he can step in & finish what he started years ago. Strap yourself in & get ready we, as UK fans, are about to go on the ride of our lives. It's a good day to be a BIG BLUE WILDCAT FAN

[UNDRTKR984]

Dang it. I hate how hindsight is 20-20. If he were still at UK we would have 9-10 titles by now.

[WEREWOLF1MOON]

Hey you better enjoy it,"cause you aren't going back for awhile. Pitino is coming back home to UK and gonna coach Meeks & Patterson to another national ch'ship next yr. Read 'em and weep! Get your head out of the sand and pay attention. Keep running off your mouth. The match made in heaven is about to be reunited my friend. He will create that legacy, and he will go down in history as the best 'cause he is. The only place where he can be truly appreciated is @ the great U of K. U can't stop it:)

[UofLCardFan08]

Bwahahaha!  Rick ain't coming back to Lexington. Especially after the way you fans treated him and his wife.

[WEREWOLF1MOON]

Bet you $10,000 he does.

[UofLCardFan08]

If he wanted back to UK, he would've been gone by now. It's been, what, eight years now?

[WEREWOLF1MOON]

You don't know Rick very well do ya? He has changed in the last couple of years. He isn't gonna come back for the challenge, he isn't gonna come back because of Kentucky's great monetary offer. He will come back for the simple reason that he loves & adores the University of Kentucky. The tracks are laid & the train is coming my friend no matter how much you might protest , no how hard you try to convince yourself. You can huff, & you can puff, but you ain't blowing this little piggy's house down

[craftsae28]

No he isn't coming back and that has nothing to do with it. You're an idiot.

[hoops5basketball]

I agree I too believe he will come back to Kentucky. They haven't talked to anyone else. We just have to set back and wait until Louisville either wins the championship or losses.

[WEREWOLF1MOON]

Exactly, when you just sit & listen people tell you their intentions. It's more about what they don't say than what they do. Listening to Pitino, I discern that he is withholding info. he is dancing around ??? not really giving direct answers. Right now, no news is good news. The longer this goes the greater the chances that he comes back. Remember two years ago he came out quick to say he wasn't interested, not this time around. It's a divine intervention & Rick knows it's a door God opened:)

[chokujou]

You haters need to back the f**k up. I'd have slapped him if he didn't leave. $50 million dollars? Please.

[jumper86]

And I'd have slapped him for leaving if given the chance. There is one thing he could have had that 50 million bucks can't buy, nor any amount of money - A LEGACY. He could have become LEGENDARY if he had stayed at kentucky. That's something money can't buy, and a foolish mind can't see.

[nWo24life]

Umm...he's the only coach to take three different schools to the Final Four. I know it's hard to admit it for one particular fan base, but every other one in the country would say that Rick Pitino is already a legendary coach. So, keep telling yourselves whatever you want. What do you join in with that Koronos fool and say Louisville had an easy conference this year. The SEC was just LOADED with great teams this year, weren't they? See you next year guys. Have a GREAT offseason!

[nWo24life]

One more thing...I know some UK fans who accept losing with class. Then, there are some who do it this way...and then wonder why every other fan base hates UK. I also find it hilarious that this video has Rick Pitino on it, but the majority of comments are from UK fans. Will one of you admit that he SAVED your program when he was there. UK was in a weak conference this year. They had two of the best players in the country. HOW do you miss the tournament with that? I'd love to know your excuses.

[jumper86]

You sound like the typical fan of another university who wishes his/her program had the success that UK does. Saying a coach "saved" our program is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You might as well say Roy Williams saved UNC because without him they'ed still be unranked every season under Doherty. That's BULLSHIT. The best coaches coach at the best universities. Get over it.

[nWo24life]

Umm...he kinda DID save your program. And R.W. kinda DID save UNC. There's no shame in admitting it. As for wishing for UK's success...I'm happy with my team's success at the moment. It's easy to live constantly in the past when your future is so bleak, I guess. So, count your banners, talk about the good ol' days, and enjoy Round 2 of the NIT.

[jumper86]

That makes no fucking sense. Are you going to say Rupp saved our program too? You're a moron. Not everyone can have the banners and wins UK has, just show some class and recpect it instead of trying to talk shit when we are having a down year. You just wait....

[nWo24life]

What doesn't make sense? You were in probation hell, the guy came along, pulled the program out of hell, and made it a contender again. I honestly hope they can find someone who can do that for them again. Rupp didn't save the program, he basically made it by putting it on the map. Call me a moron, because I expect that from this fanbase. You disrespect everyone else with your pompous attitude. You guys getting used to saying, "just wait"? I'll wait, and wait, and wait. Love from the big dance.

[craftsae28]

Exactly.

[GDAWGMAN14]

If only he would have stayed. Oh the many more banners there would be in Rupp baby.

[AUniqueVideoProd]

Rick is a waste of flesh.

[AUniqueVideoProd]

Rick is an evil man.

[hoth1138]

He drafted Paul Pierce for us in Boston.. Thanks coach. He also got a raw deal not getting Duncan and wanted Nowitski but Dallas porked him. With a little luck it could of turned out better in Boston

[KHayes666]

you don't get it, he got CHAUNCEY BILLUPS with the third pick. Even if they sucked that year, they would have drafted Pierce the next year.....imagine Pierce, Walker and Billups on the same team.

Pitino's impatience as a GM and coach cost the franchise 4 years that could have been good. Hell the same team that quit on Pitino made the Eastern Finals the very next year.

He was an outstanding college coach but he didn't have the patience to be successful in the pro's.

[dubbaCallday]

How are Pitino's kids going to divide one championship ring 5 ways??

[nWo24life]

How are Billy G's kids gonna divide JACK SHIT anyway? That's right. You all love him, you all miss him, you would all bow to his feet to get him back. Lexington is DEAD! Long live the Ville!

[mattcombs]

LOL, you're an idiot.

GO DIRTY BIRDS! (to the Sweet 16, that is)

[nWo24life]

Yeah, go Cats! #4 seed in the NIT! Too bad the only Sweet 16 action Lexington will see is the high school tournament! By the way, how about Minnesota? That coach took them to the dance this year, good for him. What was his name again? Hahaha. Be careful what you wish for pussycats!

[Blueford1979]

@nWo24life

Hey all you little redbird fans. I just want to remind you all to check your local newspapers this week for the latest rankings.

[Koronos1987]

Just because we have had a couple down years does not make Lexington dead you foolish bastard. "The ville" Has had a couple good years out of damn near 100. We have had a couple bad years out of 100. Think about is jackass. We will be back and i hope to god your foolish ass watches as kentucky ruins louisville when we do.

[cr1stal2004]

As a UK fan, I can promise we don't want him back. Keep him. We might not be the greatest this year, but we know it. We weren't picked the 3rd team in the nation preseason, expected to do great things, only to lose to 3 unranked teams. Have fun in the Big East!

[logt805]

How are we doing in the Big East now...haha oh yea 4-0 against three ranked teams including the #1 team in the country. UK is doing well but give Louisville the respect they deserve!

[Koronos1987]

U of L had the easy road in the Big East, everyone knows that, UK is just terrible this year i have no idea what is going on there. U of L may have the #1 seed, but you can go ahead and wrap it up, they have NO chance to win the title. Mark my words. They wont make it to the sweet 16.

[nWo24life]

Whatever you have to tell yourself son. You can harp on the past all you want, but the COLD HARD FACTS are that we are the overall number one seed....and you're nothing. It's the senior prom, we're going out with the head cheerleader, and you don't even have a date. As for your Big East comment, you proved just how credible you are. Yeah, seven teams in the tournament....three of them have #1 seeds. Have fun with your #4 seed in the NIT. Good luck with that...because you are gonna need it!

[craftsae28]

Yeah, that #1 seed really worked out for you.

[logt805]

just makes kickin UK's ass right now that much sweeter, ha shove your 7 up your ass

[jayrizzo89]

hardly, who's UofL going to get after pitino leaves? It's not even close to being one of the better jobs in the nation..or even its on conference. The only reason UofL got pitino in the first place is because he wanted to be spiteful. He knows he effed up because he could have one multiple championships and final fours if he had stayed at UofK...have fun being mediocre once he leaves...actually in the next few years....kinda like that stellar football program.

[mattcombs]

LOL, when's football season start again?

[MFHORNS111]

after tonight i think UK needs him really bad!! though it would never be admitted, they would love to have him back! class and wins!

[rjsmith789]

He went to Louisville because Kentucky did not need him anymore and that pissed him off

[hotelwarren]

When Pitino coached the Celtics he made RED AUERBACH step down from his title of President, and then blame it on RED when he left, what a jerk Pitino is.

[rickhatman1984]

Coach Pitino is a classy guy and he didn't try to BS about why he went to Boston. I'm thrilled he's at Louisville now, go cards!

[XKeithJamesX]

Duke is awesome and so is Coach Rick Pitino. :)

[ukhistorian]

I don't care for this guy anymore he' gone Benedict Arnold on us.

[ukhistorian]

He went to Lousiville and betrayed UK and stabbed us in the backs

[ukhistorian]

He Went to friggin Louisville. If he went to Illinois or Georgia Tech but nooo... he went to Loserville.

[UofLCardFan08]

Angry much?

[1fastvmax]

As a UK fan, I'm not angry at Rick at all for taking the money and going pro.

The fact that he was too damn proud to ask for his job back at UK after failing badly at the pro level, and still owns horses in Lexington makes me dislike him.

Let UL have their fun for now, he's obviously tired and does not need the money. After another short lived run in the dance or two, UL will be looking for another coach again.

[SmilinMatt78]

Duke sucks

[ruicosta01]

well done for saying u took the job for the money, unlike lucas neil who went to a lesser club for more money but is denying it

[ShawnisStorm]

There are a lot worse things to do strictly for the money than coaching the Celtics. Can't say I blame him.

[mohammedzz]

i would be happy with 1mil

[TruMessiah]

Woot. Finally somone with balls to admit they did it for the money.

Much respect to teh guy.

[biroxy]

GOOD

[bcbudz]

Who wouldn't take $50 million. You'd be crazy not to.

[neponsetriver]

Goodbye and good riddance. His coaching period with the Celtics was a disaster.

[odale1606]

Players dont care in the NBA. That is why his coaching was a disaster in Boston. In the NBA u need a coach who is a friend to the players.

[johnnyfarragut]

"Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans. Kevin McHale is not walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they're going to be gray and old".

[AntoineWalkerFan]

Not nearly as bas as his job as a GM.
