I've only heard the part about "Mercer tiring of Pitino's act," as reported
by my cynical uncle Peter. So far we have reports of three players crying
in two years: first, the reports of Walker after a Wizards' game, next was
the Pierce story, and now this one. Is Pitino a closet PJ Carlesimo?
Where's Sprewell when you need him?
