Rick Pitino released a statement on Wednesday evening after Louisville placed him on administrative leave earlier in the day.

It doesn’t sound like the 16-year veteran head coach is going to go down easily. The statement -- released by Pitino’s lawyers, Steve Pence, Kurt Scharfenberger and Bryan Cassis -- implies that this could just be the beginning of this whole ordeal as Pitino could take this to court.
