Writer Says Rick Pitino is the Least Likable Figure in College Sports

Fox Sports’ Aaron Torres has taken on the theme that Louisville’s Rick Pitino has to be the least likable guy in college sports.

His recent actions after Louisville’s loss at Kentucky, one could argue that there is a lot of merit to that.

Especially since Bobby Knight doesn’t have anthing to do with a college basketball team anymore.

Yet there’s one guy whose name never seems to come up on these lists, even though his behavior and actions are considerably worse than anyone I listed above. He’s a man who has proven to have virtually no moral compass off the court, and on the court, has a program that is currently in the midst of the NCAA’s crosshairs. And yet despite all that, despite the fact that he continues to make an embarrassment of both his school and himself, he found time to put himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons again this weekend.

That man is Rick Pitino, and while fans continue to dislike Coach K, Calipari and Saban for reasons only known to them, I am here to say that Pitino is, without a doubt, the most impossible person to like in all of college sports. And since no one else is going to call him out for making a fool of himself Saturday I will do so here.

I’ll also raise a question that no one else will bother to: Why is Pitino allowed to get away with all this crap?
