He released yet another statement Friday evening and it came during the press conference to introduce David Padgett as Louisville’s new head basketball coach. Intentional or not, and it was probably intentional because Rick’s a jerk, it was a dirty move to take away from Padgett’s big moment.

There’s been a lot of turmoil the last few days and I’ve intentionally avoided making any public statements – primarily because so few facts are known. But I wish to make a few now.
First, I want to thank all my players from Providence, UK and Louisville.
