Rumors going around the internet are that it is an affair with the equipment managers wife, and that she is extorting him. Seems strange to me that he would go through all the trouble of reporting the extortion of an affair, when he could have just settled the matter privately without his reputation possibly being slandered. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to this story.

Maybe The Hoya will have the scoop - they do have someone close to the intrigue...

Thanks sleepy. I immediately thought that he was trying to get out ahead of a story regarding shady recruiting or something like that. Allegations in either direction... not good. Assuming they're untrue, good for Pitino going on the offensive. You don't edited with a person's family. Also, who knows the extent of the extortion? If, allegedly, the person had already gone to media outlets, I would think Pitino would have no alternative but to defend himself publicly as well. Though, if the person had already gone to the media, why wouldn't he just sue for slander as opposed to going public? Ahh... off-season dirt. Needed something to talk about vaguely basketball related.

Looks like he has been a long time friend with the guy. He has followed Pitino to several jobs.

Yeah, the guy is going to side with his ESTRANGED wife over his employer. And as for Pitino recruiting, funny how people forget about a certain car dealership in Lexington.

Something to Pitino's approach here strikes me as odd. So, this lady is threatening to talk to the media, so call the FBI? Ms. Sypher would not have any leverage if the media runs her story before she gets anything in return. Then again, perhaps Sypher is not rational.
The story will now eventually get out because the fact that Pitino brought a complaint to the FBI is newsworthy.

I didn't know the exact appropriate place to put this, but there are rumors that after everything that went on this offseason (and probably including the disappointing finish to the season too), Pitino is considering a return to the NBA. sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-pitinokings050709&prov=yhoo&type=lgnsNow, there may not be much to it, and even if he does want to go, he may not get the job. But if he did it'd be a pretty big story, especially after he was so adamant about not wanting to go back to the association. |

I wonder which student section will come up with the most inappropriate chant for this one....
I do feel bad for his family (2 of his sons are Hoyas) - thats just humiliating.

Pitino had sex in a restaurant with some tramp and no sign suggestions yet? Slackers.
I'll go with "Can I get some fries with that shake, shake, shakedown."
