Pitino was effectively terminated as Cardinals coach in the wake of the NCAA corruption scandal that has rocked multiple programs, including Louisville's.
At its center, it has been alleged that Bowen's family took a $100,000 payment through Adidas to ensure he'd commit to the Cards. Pitino has denied knowing this.
