Pitino Suspends Caracter: Louisville forward Derrick Caracter has been suspended from the team indefinitely for violating curfew. Caracter has repeatedly clashed with coach Rick Pitino since arriving in Louisville last year. Pitino had wanted to suspend Caracter earlier in the year but listened to requests from his 22nd ranked Cardinals to play the team’s second-leading scorer. To play in that game, Pitino forced Caracter to sign a contract, which he broke when he violated curfew.
