Still Here, Never Left

Been tied up with some personal business--Lollapalooza (good review here), law-school stuff, etc. Sorry, peeps. Back to business later today.For now, let me just say that this Rick Pitino circumstance is tough to process. Pitino was a really good coach with the Knicks, was innovative at Kentucky, and was always a stand-up dude. For a decade or more, he's always seemed to make the right decision, say the right thing, and do it with a genuine humanity that was endearing. Now, some of that upstanding-ness is compromised, and it diminishes my appreciation of the man. Kind of a bummer, even in this era of sports figures who are routinely revealed as falliable, if not (more often) generally dislikable.
