Should He Stay or Should He Go?

A respected college basketball coach is now in the spotlight for something other than wins and losses.

Well, that may not be entirely true.

University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino may have lost his dignity, over his admission to having sex six years ago, with a woman in a restaurant.

Pitino is married, with five children.

Now on to the sordid details of the story.

The woman contacted Pitino weeks after the tryst, saying she was pregnant, and had no health insurance.

His lawyers says she was paid $3,000, but that Pitino didn't know the money could be used for an abortion.

Now, that same woman is awaiting trial, for allegedly trying to extort 10 million dollars from the coach. She has pleaded not guilty.

University officials are saying little, except that they're surprised.

So we want to know what you think.

Should he stay or go, as head basketball coach at Louisville?

Send us your thoughts.
