Following yesterday’s news, Rick Pitino is no longer the head coach of the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He has been placed on non-paid, administrative leave. The likelihood of his return, does not look high at this time.
Now official: Louisville has fired Rick Pitino as its basketball coach.

Misleading headline, he’s on paid leave. Not FIRED!! Maybe eventually he’ll be fired but it has happened yet. Next time state the facts not your desires.
He has been notified of his termination. That’s why he is fighting it. It is an accurate headline.
