The Hall of Fame coach had been on unpaid administrative leave since last month, after the school was implicated in a federal bribery and fraud investigation.

The school's interim president, Gregory Postel, called it "a dark day" for the university, after a federal fraud investigation was found to implicate its basketball program.

Coach Rick Pitino's former director of basketball operations acted unethically "by arranging striptease dances and sex acts for prospects, student-athletes and others," the NCAA says.

After ESPN aired a damning report this morning, the basketball team's head coach Rick Pitino called on the accused former assistant coach Andre McGee to tell the truth about what happened.
