Rick Pitino impregnates woman at a Louisville restaurant, instead of cuddling on bathroom floor, woman demands $10 million

University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino told police Tuesday he had consensual sex and paid $3K for an abortion for the woman who has been charged with attempting to extort him.

I’m surprised Pitino didn’t have this lady whacked before she opened her mouth… he’s got to have some mafia ties. Apparently the mobster coach got liquored up and forgot to wear his Jimmy Hat when he decided to stick Karen Cunagin at a Louisville restaurant. Classy, Rick! Bend her over in between the mashed potatoes and fried chicken? This can’t be good for his marriage!

Karen Cunagin put together a list of demands for Pitino which included 2 cars, college tuition for her children, money to pay off her house and $10 million. Damn! Cunagin has been federally charged for trying to extort the Louisville coach and likely faces some time behind bars.

Rick Pitino is/was an awfully respectable coach and this undoubtedly tarnishes his name a bit. He’s a great college basketball coach, and recently led his Cardinals team to Big East regular season and tournament titles. After losing a couple of his stars to the NBA, he might have to deal with another loss…his wife. I’m not sure how she is handling the situation, but my guess is he’s going to have some family issues to deal with this upcoming season as well as trying to replace his former superstars.

The Cardinals should be alright this year, but replacing Terrence Williams and Earl Clark is no easy task. Louisville returns soon-to-be sophomore Samardo Samuels, Jerry Smith and Edgar Sosa along with a mediocre-at-best recruiting class, but the loss of T-Will and Clark is enormous. Don’t expect the Cardinals to get another 1 seed in the tournament this upcoming season.

With his shady business in his personal life, maybe his recruiting methods should be looked into? It’s not like you’re just a sleaze-ball with the women and a genuine guy with everything else. Although Pitino didn’t break any laws, he might want to check his morals.
