According to ESPN’s sideline reporter for tonight’s game, Rick Pitino went ballistic at halftime because a North Carolina fan screamed, “Pitino you suck!”

The fan was then ejected.

Call me skeptical, but that doesn’t seem like much of a reason to get upset (or ejected). Heck, an entire student section was chanting “Cal you suck” at John Calipari last night.

Rick Pitino's reaction was because that fan said "Pitino you suck," and the fan was ejected for it? Don't buy it.

Wow, I am very surprised that the thing Pitino was freaking out over was "you suck", come on Pitino that's lightweight stuff.
