I think there are $44 million reasons why Pitino is fighting this.So a 65 year old man who is worth more than 25 million dollars for some reason is going to drag himself and Louisville through the muck over this?
Interesting thread (follow through comments):
is this guy actually talking to Pitino's lawyer? If so, that lawyer just really screwed up
edit: so apparently this guy is a legitimate writer and the first journalist to notice the time/date discrepancies. it means that either
A) the texts are doctored and/or entirely fake
B) Pitino texted Gatto after he got arrested.
how much trouble do you get into for submitting falsified evidence to use against your employer after termination? lolCL82: Rut Roh.

Pence: “That's the date it was copied - not when it was sent. Obviously, there was no contact with Gatto after Sept 26.” (2/x)

I hope this goes full he said / she said between Jurich and Pitino. I cant imagine the amount of slime that would ooze out of it.

Former University of Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino questioned assistant coaches recently as to why Brian Bowen’s family was living at the Galt House Hotel, according to documents released Monday by Pitino’s lawyer Steve Pence.
Why? Because they were supposed to be at the Ritz Carlton?
Pitino's always denies he knew about anything bad that was happening. I mean maybe there are some things he didn't know about but at some point you can't believe anything he says. It's just impossible for him to not know about everything he denies.
