Reading up on what the heck happened to Ron Mercer this morning and stumbled upon a conversation that I had to vett. Found this....

Holy moly...

Ouch!
TP for the info.
That explains a lot.

Wow

[Roy H.]

Yeah, that got swept under the rug and was quickly forgotten. I was surprised that it didn’t come up when Billups was being considered for Cleveland’s GM.

In what way?  Do tell.  I don't recall this case, but it is shocking.  Walker and Billups have their faces in TV all the time now.

What did happen to Ron Mercer, JSD?

Billups was traded 2 months before the lawsuit was filed. Pitino may or may not have known about the incident befire the lawsuit.

Pitino was a terrible here, and we now know he was a horrible slimeball after the Louisville stuff.

This is shocking and that Billups is like a respected star so evidently none of this information was ever in the public eye. I have never until today ever heard any of this. I also totally forgot what ever happened to Ron Mercer. And Michael Irvin the football player?

Nothing in Pitino’s post-Boston career would lead me to believe that he deserves any benefit of the doubt.

Holy moly...

I’d heard rumors, but had realized there was ever a specific complaint.  I’m very surprised Billups has survived #MeToo so far.

[Roy H.]

And Michael Irvin the football player?

No.  Just a guy with the same name who was Walker's roommate, who "had no money".

Is it okay to ask this question... Is there a possibility this woman is not telling the truth?

Well if there was a financial settlement I would say it's very unlikely.

Mercer, while only a year older than Ray Allen, retired after the 2005 season. He’s now back in Kentucky doing stuff for the wildcats. Twitter handle: ‪@rmercer33 ‬

Some would say the opposite
