Richard Pitino's résumé at Minnesota includes a 51-48 overall record, a 16-36 mark against Big Ten competition and one NIT championship in three seasons.
Here are a few other items on his résumé:
Daquein McNeil, a Pitino recruit, was dismissed from the program after being arrested on two felony charges of domestic assault involving his girlfriend.
Zach Lofton, a Pitino recruit, was dismissed from the program for "failing to meet expectations and obligations."
Carlos Morris, a Pitino recruit, was dismissed from the program because of "conduct detrimental to the team."
On Sunday, three players — Nate Mason, Kevin Dorsey and Dupree McBrayer — were held out of the Illinois game, punishment reportedly tied to the release of a sexually explicit video on one of the player's social media accounts.
The university would only say that the players, all Pitino recruits, missed the game because of a violation of team rules. (Dorsey served a one-game suspension for an exhibition game earlier this season because of a different violation.)
Anybody else bothered by all of this?
