re: An alternate hypothesis about Pitino: Suppose he really is telling the truth???

I think it is 99% + likely that Pitino did nothing criminal. He will never face charges of any kind.
However, I am almost as confident that it was a situation where he just wanted plausible deniability. He likely looked the other way while hiring guys he knew would do shady things. He probably didn't anticipate hookers but he knew cash was exchanging hands.
There are certain coaches who carry a rep for being dirty. Some of the names that are most mentioned for that are Dalonte Hill and Tim Fuller. They are like the Tropper Taylors of college basketball. If I know that, coaches obviously know that.
Also, fwiw, Pearl is considered a very dirty coach. When everyone thought that Tobias Harris was looking at Syracuse and Louisville, I was told by someone who was about as close to the situation as you can get that Tobias Harris was paid for by Tennessee. Two weeks later he signed with them.

That is general knowledge too...maybe he has changed after serving his sentence in NCAA hell?? But as I said earlier, why isn't there outrage and people calling for his head right now?

Sure the HC will have plausible deniability but they know what is going on and they are 100% responsible for their program
Burn it all down to the ground
