Louisville coach Rick Pitino said the schools self-imposed sanctions are enough to satisfy the NCAA as the governing body continues investigating an escorts allegations that a former Cardinals staffer hired her and other dancers to entertain recruits and players.The school in February announced a postseason ban from the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments after its investigation into Katina Powells allegations determined that violations did occur. Louisville imposed additional sanctions in April, reducing scholarships and recruiting visits and contacts by staff in 2016-17 and `17-18. Several investigations into the program continue, but Pitino says measures suggested by investigator Chuck Smrt should be enough.Chuck tells you, `OK, this is what I find you guilty of and this is what we must do, so he was the guy that told us what to do, it wasnt the school, Pitino said during a radio interview Tuesday on Louisvilles 840 WHAS.We have to rely on his (Smrts) expertise, so in his expertise and his feelings, weve done everything that we needed to do.Pitino expressed the same feelings about the schools actions in a podcast with College Hoops Today earlier this week.Powell alleged last October in the book Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen that former Cardinals mens basketball staffer Andre McGee paid her $10,000 for 22 shows from 2010-14 at the players Billy Minardi Hall dormitory. Pitino has denied knowledge of the activities described in Powells book but has also seemed inclined to move on from the scandal, no matter what the NCAA investigation determines whenever it serves the school with a notice of allegations.Its just a matter of whats true, whats not true, Pitino said. Certainly, were guilty of certain things and thats why we took the penalty. We would not have taken the penalty if we didnt find ourselves guilty of those violations.Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said last month that he didnt know when the NCAAs investigation might end. But the AD said the school is prepared to acknowledge mistakes and cited its previous measures as steps toward correcting them and moving forward.Pitino has expressed the same philosophy but didnt sound ready to let McGee off the hook. The coach said he hasnt spoken with his former player and staffer and isnt in a forgiving mood just yet.Do I still love him? Yes, I do, Pitino said. Do I forgive him? No, I dont, because in order to forgive someone, that person has to ask for forgiveness. Its no different from if I do something wrong that I ask for forgiveness and God willing, the people you hurt forgive you.When it comes the day that Andre wants to be forgiven for his deeds, hell ask for forgiveness and well certainly do that.

"Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home. There will be far more than pride at stake when Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.The North London derby is always one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the Premier League calendar, but visiting Spurs (5-5-0) have built themselves up into a genuine threat to rivals Arsenal (7-2-1) over recent years, giving this weekends fixture some added spice.Just three points separate the two clubs in the table, with Arsene Wengers Gunners high on confidence following a 4-1 rout of Sunderland last weekend and a comeback 3-2 win against Ludogorets in the Champions League in midweek.For us it is a very important game because we are in a strong position in the league that we want to strengthen, Wenger said. Overall Tottenham (are in a good position) as well, so it is very tight at the top of the league.We are more focused that it is a home game, and whether it is Tottenham or somebody else, we want to win our home games because our position in the league is very important. We go into a period where we play big games and we want to win the big games.I feel that it is difficult to speculate on any weakness to Tottenham. I prefer to concentrate on us, to be strong and to turn up with a top-level performance.Mauricio Pochettinos Spurs may be nipping at the heels of their neighbours in the table, but the mood around the club is very different.Tottenham havent won a game since their spectacular 2-0 victory over title favourites Manchester City at the start of October. Theyve picked up three straight draws in the league, crashed out of the EPL Cup against Liverpool and accumulated just one point from two matches against an excellent Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League -- with the most recent meeting seeing the German club beat Spurs 1-0 at Wembley on Wednesday.ddddddddddddMaybe we are not as confident as we were when we beat Manchester City 2-0 (on October 2), but football is about emotion, Pochettino said, putting a brave face on a difficult situation for his side. When you win, you are at the top of your emotion and mental level.It is a good test for us on Sunday to change the dynamic. It is a period where we have to learn to improve. We are not in a positive situation, in the last six games we struggled to win -- four draws, two defeats -- and we are conscious of that.Part of the reason for Tottenhams dip in form has been the absence of a number of regular first-team players due to injury.Centre-back Toby Alderweireld and attacking midfielder Eric Lamela are both unlikely to feature on Sunday, while dynamic central midfielder Mousa Dembele is also expected to be absent after picking up a niggle against Leverkusen.However, there could be a welcome return for striker Harry Kane after a close-to two month absence.The last few seasons he was a very important player for us, Pochettino said of his star striker. A player who is (a) top scorer in the Premier League, when fit, is important for any club. It will be very good news. He can help the team get a good result.Arsenal have midfielder Granit Xhaka available after suspension, but have doubts over the fitness of Santi Cazorla and Keirin Gibbs. Squad players Lucas Perez, Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck remain out.Pochettino has yet to lose a league game against Arsenal in four total meetings. No Spurs manager in the Premier League era has gone five unbeaten in North London derbies. ' ' '
