Rick Pitino is Coach-2 in FBI report; Should his jersey come down in Rupp Arena?

The legacy of Rick Pitino continues to be decimated by the FBI’s investigation into college hoops corruption.

According to CBS’ Dana Jacobson (formerly of ESPN), Pitino was Coach-2 from University-6 in the FBI’s report. University-6 was the University of Louisville, so of course Coach-2 was someone there, but it’s still a surprise to see it’s actually Pitino and not one of his assistants.
