["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.andara.com>]

What I would like to know is can anyone refresh my memory on the details of
Pitino's contract?  Though it may or may not be relevant, I believe Falk is
after big bucks due to the size of RP's deal.

Also, with the lockout being enforced, what is the status of coaches and
other team personnel?  Do they get paid?  If so, what for?
