Andre McGee (here in 2008) was a player on the Louisville Cardinals team before he became a program assistant.
There was no answer at Andre McGee's apartment door earlier this week. There was silence coming from his phone, too. For weeks, there has been nothing but silence from the man who is the epicenter of the storm engulfing Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino and Louisville's basketball program.
The silence resonating on the other side of McGee's door at his fourth-floor apartment in a historic renovated downtown loft â less than a mile from the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City â was finally broken on Friday in the form of a terse 28-word statement McGee sent to his athletic director at UMKC, where he was hired as an assistant coach after serving on Pitino's Louisville staff.
