LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino says he's "shocked" to hear his school is involved in a national college basketball scandal.---
Shortly after U of L president Greg Postel admitted the school was involved in the bribery scandal, Pitino released a statement saying "These allegations come as a complete shock to me."
