Coaches in court

Why does it always seem like news like this comes in bunches?

Rick Pitino's trial is over, but the ordeal isn't quite finished yet. The attorney for Karen Sypher, who, if you remember, was found guilty on all six counts as a result of her extortion efforts against Pitino, has filed a motion asking for a new trial as a result of the perjury committed by one or more of the prosecution's witnesses. They have asked for 45 days to investigate. Can you imagine what would happen if Sypher was actually granted a new trial? Would we have to hear all about Quick Rick's 15 seconds of fame again?

Staying in the Big East, Bobby Gonzalez has solved one of his legal issues. Gonzo sued Seton Hall for wrongful termination after the Pirate's first round NIT loss. Gonzo said he was wrongfully terminated with two years left ton his contract. Yesterday, the two sides settled, with the terms left confidential. Gonzo still is facing charges for allegedly attempting to steal a $1,400 satchel.

And then there is Andy Kennedy. Back in 2008, Kennedy was arrested for allegedly punching and yelling racial slurs at a cab driver that refused to allow five people into his cab. Kennedy filed a defamation lawsuit which was finally settled yesterday. Apparently, all Kennedy needed was an apology from the cab driver.
