But, like RP says, if Derrick doesn't make at Louisville, he won't make it in life. Pitino says he's not going to give up on one of his players, just like he wouldn't give up on one of his own children, no matter how many dumb mistakes are made.

But bringing him back after just one game doesn't make sense. I know the Cards are desperate for inside play, but I don't care how much community service DC has done, he needs sit on the bench AT LEAST, a few more games. Just last week, Pitino held an entire news conference, talking about how it would be "a while" before Caracter played again. Well it turns out to be just a week. I'm not sure what he did in the last 8 days or so to make amends, but after blowing off curfew twice in the same night...he deserves a longer punishment. We can only hope he's finally learned his lesson. All he has to do is listen to his coach, go to class, and follow the rules and he might be a millionare. Seems easy enough, but not for Derrick Caracter.
