We really don't know what head coach Rick Pitino was saying to Louisville Cardinals center Gorgui Dieng. Maybe he was screaming a knock-knock joke in very animated fashion. Maybe he was pointing out someone dressed up all funny in the crowd. Or, more likely, Pitino was just chewing Dieng a new one.
ANIMATED: Gorgui Dieng Finds Rick Pitino’s Yelling Funny
Whatever the message was, Dieng thought it was funny. Unfortunately for Dieng, television cameras were zoomed in on as he reacted to Pitino’s talk. He tried to hide his laugh as Pitino walked away, even attempting to bury his face in his shirt, but it just didn’t work.
First, a photo.
But the GIF is better and illustrates what happened here.
I mean, Pitino could be telling him the man sitting just over his left shoulder is fidgeting nervously with his phone and beer in what appears to be an elaborate scheme to scratch his crotch. Yeah ... Pitino was probably just yelling at him and the message probably didn’t get through.
