That is nonsense, Pitino wouldn't do that. I'm a die-hard UK fan but we all need to stop blaming it on Pitino and Swopshire and take responsibility for what Cousins did as Big Blue Nation and figure out how this can be prevented in the future. Earlier in this thread someone pointed out that if you wouldn't retaliate you're not a man, in my playing days I had a similar situation to Cousins come upon me where I took a foot, not a knee, but a foot to the kisser and was kicked pretty hard, I always had a bad temper and knew if I went after him I'd kill him, I knew it was a close game and I wasn't going to cost my team the game, so I didn't do anything except walk over to the bench and get the blood cleaned out of my mouth and then continued playing; that is what a real man would've done, not retaliating and nearly costing his team the game with a stupid act like that. Saying Pitino did it is complete nonsense.
