Strippers?[edit]

I came here looking for coverage of stripper scandal, [[1], [2], [3],and [4]. Should it be mentioned at all in the article? Should it instead be left out to avoid embarrassment, since Coach Pitino is such a great and honorable guy? Edison (talk) 04:36, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: some refs may appear at the bottom of the page as a result of previous threads with improperly formatted references, which were not posted by me.Edison (talk) 04:39, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not in there probably because previous editors trying to add the material were doing it in an unencyclopedic manner. I'm sure it deserves a mention, although watch WP:WEIGHT and WP:BLP, and be careful to make it about Pitino's response unless and until anything shows he is connected to it. As for the refs at the bottom, I have corrected that. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 12:22, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Biography[edit]

It won't let me fix it, but they haven't actually officially fired Pitino yet. As of right now he is on administrative leave. I'm sure it will lead to that though. Meganh1015 (talk) 17:27, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Correct, some outlets had it wrong or confused. Hopefully all references are related to "administrative leave" now. Fuzheado | Talk 17:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Scandal[edit]

Came here for information on the guy they were talking about him and some sort of scandal and him getting fired. I get to the article I'm like okay nothing in the index.

Vacated wins[edit]

There's a discussion on how to handle Louisville's vacated wins and championship at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_Basketball#How_to_handle_Louisville?.—Bagumba (talk) 06:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The current handling of Pitino's vacated wins does not follow the agreed procedure in the link shown above. Further, it does not match how other coaches' vacated wins are handled, such as Jim O'Brien, Jim Boeheim, Steve Fisher, Mike Jarvis, Jerry Tarkanian, and John Calipari. I attempted to add the highlighted colors for conference championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and was flagged as violating wikipedia's guidelines and potential vandalism. There is obviously someone who is very vigilant and passionate about this issue so I am going to leave this comment here for someone else to deal with. I hope the vacated records are treated consistently across all coaches going forward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.129.78 (talk) 20:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Panathinaikos - It's official now[edit]

His move to Panathinaikos was made official today

Panathinaikos officially hires Rick Pitino as head coach https://www.eurohoops.net/en/euroleague/799765/panathinaikos-officially-hires-rick-pitino-as-head-coach/ https://www.paobc.gr/page.ashx?pid=2&aid=54126&lang=2 Tonyathens1988 (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2019-20 Greek Championship[edit]

Panathinaikos BC was declared champion of the 2019-20 Greek Championship which wasn't finished due to COVID-19 Pandemic. Pitino coached Panathinaikos BC that season but left the team before its declaration as champion and before Greek COVID-19 lockdown. On March 20, 2020 Panathinaikos announced mutual agreement to terminate the contract with Pitino. So, Pitino must be credited with this championship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:C806:3CB9:D8A8:1223:1ADC:7EC (talk) 21:35, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any sources that credit him with the championship? --Hammersoft (talk) 22:35, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
