Doing nothing would be a tacit endorsement of unethical and criminal behavior,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"42\">Postel said Pitino\u2019s employment with the men\u2019s program will be reviewed at a later date and that he hopes to name an interim replacement for him and athletic director Tom Jurich, who was also put on leave, in the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"49\">Before the news conference, Pitino\u2019s attorney, Steve Pence, told the Courier-Journal newspaper the coach had been \u201ceffectively fired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"50\">The scandal, which has rocked college basketball, involves at least four named men\u2019s assistant college coaches from around the country and an Adidas AG\u00a0executive.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"51\">It is the latest in a series of scandals during Pitino\u2019s 16-year stint with Louisville, including a National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation into the use of strippers and prostitutes to attract players to the men\u2019s basketball program.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"52\">The NCAA handed Louisville heavy sanctions as a result and said the program must vacate wins that could include the 2013 national title. The university is appealing that decision.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"54\">Pitino was also involved in a sex scandal when he admitted in 2009 to having sex with the wife of a Louisville equipment manager, and having paid for her to have an abortion. Pitino said he was being extorted, and the woman was later convicted.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pitino, 65, took over at Louisville after a spending four seasons with the National Basketball Association\u2019s Boston Celtics. Prior to that he was a coach at the University of Kentucky, where he led the men\u2019s basketball program back to prominence and won a national title in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Louisville basketball head coach Rick Pitino was placed on administrative leave in the wake of a federal bribery investigation, the university\u2019s interim president said on Wednesday.
