Pitino/Minor news

[Robert Brooks <rwbrooks@teleport.com>]

Not much to report from the news conference other than the requisite
cliches from the three players ("Contribute, help out the team, play
hard," etc.).

However, the folks on WEEI spoke with Pitino directly after the
conference, and he was asked about the Minor situation in light of all the
scrutiny being brought to the issue via Wil Cordero.  RP made a fairly
strong statement about how such behavior will not be tolerated, but then
went on to hint that Minor is basically broke right now.  He said he wanted
put him Minor up in his house because he (Minor) was in a really bad
situation.  Something about his agent taking all his money, or something
along those lines.  There was nothing terribly detailed, but I'm sure more
will come out on this in the near future.  I have a *really* hard time
that RP would somehow concoct this as an excuse for Minor's behavior.
