Former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino has filed lawsuits against Adidas America, Inc. and Adidas North America, Inc. claiming damages caused by the company's bribing of recruits, reports ESPN's Jay Bilas.

The crux of Pitino's lawsuit is the coach's assertion that he had no knowledge of Adidas' alleged bribes, and the their corrupt activity resulted in his firing, which was made official Monday.

What is the cliche about biting a hand??? If this case goes forward discovery could produce some interesting stuff.

If he knew nothing then he is too stupid to coaching

He really is a self-absorbed fool.

There’s a reason why he’s called, in some parts of Kentucky, as Prick Pricktino.

he is fishing for an OOC settlement thinking Adidas doesnt want the dirty laundry out there. Likely he will get one.
