I’m sure that everyone is aware of what’s going on 80 miles west of Lexington in a federal courtroom in Loserville. We’re not going to get into the details; but we will talk it’s affect on Pitino’s status as head coach. Personally, I don’t see how he can continue to be head coach when the trial is over, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Another interesting question is this… Would Pitino be fired following the trial if he was coaching at UK?

There’s only one thing that can possibly help Pitino in this situation, and that’s winning basketball games. I would like to think that Kentucky fans would hold him more accountable but a final four or national championship might be enough to have CAT fans turning their heads.
Here’s a recent poll from USA Today. They ask what should Pitino do following the trial…
You can see that the “Step Downs” and the “Talk to the university” answers are running neck and neck. What’s more surprising is that 25% say that Pitino is the victim here. Are they really serious?
He is the victim in the extortion case (Alleged to this point), but that wasn’t the question. After everything he’s had to come clean with, I just can’t see how he can remain head coach.
