Saying he will coach at Louisville "as long as they'll have me," Rick Pitino apologized on Wednesday for "an indiscretion" he committed six years ago.

In a news conference at the university, Pitino did not directly address the report that he admitted that he had consensual sex with the woman charged with trying to extort him and then paid her $3,000. But he did say that "the past seven months have been very difficult on the people I love."

The Courier-Journal of Louisville, citing police records, reported on Tuesday that Pitino made those admissions.

Pitino did not take questions.

I guess even coaches can't keep it in their pants...jeez man!, you have five kids and a wife and that women who allegedly was trying to extort money from you has 4 kids...did either one of you stop and think just once..once how your actions would effect your families?
