Rick Pitino, the Louisville men’s basketball coach, told the police he had sex and paid for an abortion for the woman accused of trying to extort $10 million from him, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported on its Web site that Pitino told the police he had been drinking in a Louisville restaurant and had sex with Karen Sypher in August 2003.
