On September 26, 2017, the biggest recruiting scandal in college
basketball history sent shock waves through the world of sports.
Caught up in a massive FBI and NCAA investigation—and the intense
media spotlight—was Rick Pitino, the Louisville Cardinals’ Hall
of Fame coach. Here, from Pitino himself, comes the real story of
the ongoing case and the hard truth about how college hoops has
been pushed to the brink of disaster by greed, bad actors, and shoe
company money. Rick Pitino has spent a lifetime in basketball. He
is the recruiting and coaching maestro behind Final Four
appearances with three different teams, and National Championships
at two of them. He worked the early days of the legendary Five-Star
camp and scouted players without the influence of agents, runners,
or shoe companies. And he has run today’s recruiting gauntlet of
sports apparel marketing, corrupted assistant coaches, unethical
youth coaches, and powerful organizations hellbent against him.
Rick Pitino has seen it all, dealt with it all, and now tells it
all while offering his take on what needs to be done to save the
game he loves. Pitino is the story of an epic coaching career and
the evolution of NCAA basketball to the multi-billion-dollar
enterprise it is today. It is also a master’s course on the arts
of coaching and recruiting. And in the telling, the one and only
Rick Pitino lays all his cards on the table in addressing scandals
of his past and the current headline-grabbing investigation that
led a packed Board of Directors at Louisville to derail his career.
