Rick Pitino thinks you are an underachiever

Louisville coach Rick Pitino has banned his players from using Twitter during the season, but Russ Smith and Chris Jones still use Instagram and other photo sharing sites. He had this to say about social media users in general:

According to thebiglead.com, here is the full quote:

“To me, I think it’s the great class of underachievers who live on the Internet and social media. I think it’s people that just waste their time, and underachieve because of it. Because they’re not paying attention to what they should be achieving to. So it’s a waste of time. I don’t know why people do it. So Russ is wasting his time. And he does waste his time. And so does Chris Jones. They waste their time when they could be spent reading valuable things. So I think it’s not that I’m against certain facets of social media, because I’m not, but what you’re talking about – what Russ Smith is doing – is a total waste of energy… time. It’s insulting, uh, intellectually, to be on it.”
