Today, as part of the fallout from the US Department of Justice charges against the Louisville basketball program (along with other assistant coaches at other schools) - Rick Pitino has been effectively fired. (There are a number of reasons he seems to have not been fired outright, including a clause in his contract that says he is to receive 10 days notice.)
Louisville, of course, brings in excellent college basketball players. And some of those players might be attractive to a program like, say, St. John’s.
BUT.
While there is likely some interest in reaching out to the available players, also note that along with the removal of Pitino and the Athletic Director, the player in question, Brian Bowen, has been suspended from basketball activity by Louisville.
