ESPN personality and catch-phrase machine Dickie V said something very interesting on the Duke-N.C. State telecast Saturday. He got into one of his rant modes and went on about the Louisville self-imposed postseason ban and the ensuing investigation and what that means for the current team.

He specifically mentioned that coach Rick Pitino had taken a lie detector test to prove that he didn't know anything about the dancers and strippers being paid by one of his graduate assistants. Dickie V then doubled down on Twitter to back himself up.
If Vitale's source is right about this then that should certainly help the public perception of Pitino, but it won't help him in a legal sense. However, current NCAA rules find head coaches responsible for everything that goes on in a program, even if they are not directly aware of an incident.
