Is Rick Pitino snitching on Romeo Langford?

According to the Washington Post, adidas contacted Pitino expressing concerns that Langford could leave adidas for an Under Armour or Nike college.

“The way they phrased it, it was whoever [shoe company] was going to pay the dad’s AAU program the most money, gets it,” said Pitino in a recent phone interview. A few days later, Adidas’s league added a new team: Twenty Two Vision, featuring Romeo Langford on the court and Tim Langford as team director. Shoe company sponsorships can reach $100,000 to $150,000, and team directors who limit expenses can pay themselves salaries from those amounts.
