Pitino said Tuesday that the Cardinals "will get through this the right way."
The coach told a packed room at a tipoff luncheon that he understands the motivation behind Katina Powell's book "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," but questions the need for the alleged activities given the talent his program has produced.
Pitino added, "We will find out the truth, whatever it may be, and those responsible will pay the price."
