Louisville has placed coach Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich on administrative leave amid a federal bribery investigation. Interim university President Greg Postel said at a news conference Wednesday that Jurich is on paid leave, while Pitino is on unpaid leave. The coach's attorney, Steve Spence, told the Courier-Journal that Louisville has "effectively fired" Pitino. Multiple outlets have reported that both Pitino and Jurich were fired pending a final decision by the school’s board of trustees. Pitino's exit comes after the school acknowledged on Tuesday that the men's program is part of a federal investigation into the alleged bribery of recruits.
