A decade ago, when he was coach of the Boston Celtics, Rick Pitino spoke bluntly but with compassion about the sexual encounter that forced the firing of his then-assistant coach Winston Bennett, a former Kentucky basketball star. "Winston is a tremendous young man, but he just has one terrible weakness," Pitino told The Courier-Journal of Louisville at the time. "He’s a womanizer. And we’re trying to help him with that problem, to keep his family together and to turn his life in the right direction." In 1998, Bennett had an affair with a female student at Brandeis University, where the team practiced. That violated the Celtics’ contract with Brandeis and led to his firing.
