Did Rick Pitino Text With Adidas Executive Jim Gatto After the FBI Report Dropped?

Did Rick Pitino text with Adidas executive Jim Gatto AFTER the FBI’s report into corruption in college basketball dropped?

It certainly appears so:



Wait… Sept. 28? This broke on the 26th.

The wording of the texts also makes it seem as if something is missing.
I did some research. Thursday, September 28th was last month. The only Thursday, September 28th before that was in 2006.
Wait a minute. Pitino and Gatto were texting AFTER the federal complaint??

Not to mention there are obviously deleted texts.

Written 2 days after story broke…Very interesting…and who says "ok" when no comment was before (clearly at least one was deleted)

Someone has some explaining to do…

Why does it matter?

Louisville had a contract with ADIDAS so him communicating with an exec doesn’t seem to matter.

If you are trying to verify he was arranging payments, isn’t that the point of the FBI investigation?

That Adidas deal is going to be the chain around Pitino's neck very soon. $160 million dollar deal, He got 98 percent.

As for why it matters...it just looks improper. The contract wouldn't be discussed with the basketball coach...it would have went through Jurich's daughter...who brokered the deal..and Jurich himself...ideally.

Seems the story from Pitino's lawyer about how this alleged text to Gatto, the Adidas executive, changed this morning. Now he admits that Pitino texted Gatto but that it was by accident. Claims Pitino was actually attempting to text him, Pence (Pitinos lawyer) and accidentally typed Gatto in the send line.

I think earlier Pence said the date was wrong.

Looks like Gatto was arrested and released Sept 26. Seems to undermine Pence's claim this morning that Pitino and Gatto couldn't have met on the 28th due to Gatto being in custody.

Sure Rick didn't let Trump use his phone?

Pitino doesn't always use great judgement

Before this is all said and done...there is no telling how many college basketball programs will be affected or implicated from this.
Therefore, if it somehow benefits us...I say it is absolutely topic related to Memphis.
