He just doesn't get it! He thinks he is above his dirty deeds.

An independent Louisville affiliate has hired a law firm to review an escort's allegations that former men's basketball staffer Andre McGee hired dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players.

The University of Louisville Foundation announced the hiring Thursday of the Stites & Harbison law firm. The foundation invests donations to the university.

Louisville President James Ramsey also said Thursday he "fully" supports longtime athletic director Tom Jurich "as we work to identify the facts in this situation." Ramsey reiterated the school has hired former NCAA enforcement official Chuck Smrt to lead the athletic department's investigations in Katina Powell's book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen."

The president's statement went on to praise Jurich for leading an "exemplary" program during his 18 years as AD, but did not mention Cardinals coach Rick Pitino.

The coach said talked about the omission in a radio interview later Thursday, saying, "I'm sorry that Dr. Ramsey did not think enough to mention me, but that's something I cannot control."

Pitino bristled at a question if the widespread attention now on his program has made him reconsider resigning.

"I don't know what resigning would accomplish," Pitino, 63, told 840 WHAS. "I think that's the cowardly way out if I resign now without coaching two fifth-year seniors and people who came to play for me. What does it do for the program if the coach runs away?

The one thing Pitino has going for him is that Louisville has very few rules to follow.
