UL's Masiello Story from L'Ville writer and when did Masiello tell his players?

[Brad]

Interesting reading:

A U of L spokesperson said Wednesday afternoon that an outside company no longer working with U of L conducted Masiello's criminal background check beofre his hire there. As is the protocol at U of L, a university employee involved in the interview process would have checked Masiello's resume.

Kenny Klein, sports information director at U of L, said there's a chance a person involved in Masiello's hiring process mistakenly checked off his degree status, but that the school didn't know because it couldn't locate the personnel file. Klein also said U of L has hired assistant athletics coaches in the past who hadn't completed their coursework but then finished it at Louisville.

Manhattan’s student newspaper said the coach informed his players there, following an NCAA Tournament appearance and close loss to the Cardinals, that he intended to leave. Because he didn't resign from Manhattan, Masiello is still employed as the school's head coach as of early Wednesday afternoon.

Does that mean Rick Pitino is the "Most Important Man in the Building"?

Sounds like a big BS story when it comes to UL. 

 

The last part of cracking me up right now.   I would love to be in the next Manhattan basketball meeting.  "Yea guys, I tried to leave everyone here behind but here I am again soooooooooooooo........"

"Let's use this as a life lesson! Anyone can leave you at any time. No one loves you. You're not a special snowflake. Watergate. There is no cake. Benghazi. Buzz words. Now. Let's get to work! Guys? Oh come on... I said I'm sorry. What do you mean I didn't? I totally did. Stop being babies."

Lol. So much for Jurich's department being a finely tuned machine.

A misspelled name on a plaque is not as bad as a careless, incompetent background check.

As I said in another thread, integrity isn't high on the list for the UL athletic department.

OMG

So a guy lies on his resume to USF and it is UL's fault in what way?   I could give a dang if the coach doesn't have a degree and coaches basketball.  Who cares?  This is a Steve Massielo issue how you're shifting it to UL is a joke.  Pitino has known the kid his whole life why wouldn't he believe him he said he graduated?  Oh my GOD UL had hired an assistant coach that lied about having a degree?  The travesty,  Yeah UL could have ran a back ground check sure, which they did as far as the criminal which came back fine I'm sure they are thinking as far as the degree check that's fine to.  Coach P was coaching him and was on track when he left why would he think otherwise?  Any common sense on this board or no?  I always liked the USF fan base.  Definitely a lot better than those fantasy land guys at UCF but, man some of these comments today about UL are a Fn joke man.  He was an assistant at Tulane and head coach at Manhattan I mean I guess we should have hired a $60,000 dollar search firm but, you assume if the coach knew the guy his whole life he wouldn't lie about graduating,

 

Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein told ESPN.com that when Masiello was hired in 2005, the school conducted criminal background checks, but he wasn't aware if the school verified college degrees. Since 2010, however, Klein said Louisville began more extensive background checks on new hires, which included verifying academic credentials.

Klein said Masiello "would have had opportunity to review the media guide each year and tell us it was wrong." His official bio, which also was posted on the school's website, indicated he graduated from Kentucky.

Oh my GOD UL had hired an assistant coach that lied about having a degree? The travesty, Yeah UL could have ran a back ground check sure, which they did as far as the criminal which came back fine I'm sure they are thinking as far as the degree check that's fine to. Coach P was coaching him and was on track when he left why would he think otherwise? Any common sense on this board or no? I always liked the USF fan base. Definitely a lot better than those fantasy land guys at UCF but, man some of these comments today about UL are a Fn joke man.

So Louisville placed the burden back on Masiello. That was sort of a dumb comment to make. If he was hired before the requirement, there's no issue. But you have to admit your reporter got some funny answers - probably typical of any fat bureaucracy. CYA boys.
