(AP) — Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino remains defiant that his program will survive the allegations in a book by an escort claiming that former Cardinals staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players. The coach told a packed room at a tipoff luncheon that he understands the motivation behind Katina Powell's book Breaking Cardinal Rules: Last Tuesday, campus police chief Wayne Hall announced that his department is working with Louisville Metro Police and the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office to review the allegations for possible criminal charges. Separate investigations by Louisville's athletic department and the NCAA were launched immediately after the school was notified about the book's allegations in late August.
